Selecting the Right Culture Medium to Optimize Growth of Human Cartilage-Derived Cells For Clinical Applications
Cartilage-derived cells show great promise for cartilage repair but growing them in culture can be challenging. The performance of the cells is highly dependent on the in vitro expansion process.
This webinar presents research results indicating that primary cartilage-derived cells perform better when grown in xeno-free media with human platelet lysate (hPL-MSC Nutristem®) vs. traditional FBS-based media.
- Understand human cartilage biology and the potential of cartilage-derived cells as a source for cell therapy approaches.
- Explore the potential of xeno-free media with human platelet lysate as an alternative to fetal bovine serum in expansion media.
- Identify assays to characterize in vitro culture expanded mesenchymal stromal cell populations.
