VitroGel® MSC is a xeno-free (animal origin-free) hydrogel system developed to support three-dimensional (3D) cultures of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The Bead-Droplet method can be used to make hydrogel cell beads for MSC scale-up and long-term culture. This novel culture method generates high-quality MSCs and eliminates the usage of microcarriers for MSC scale-up.
Using the VitroGel Cell Recovery Solution, 3D cultured mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be recovered from hydrogel-cell beads safely and effectively. VitroGel Cell Recovery Solution is enzyme-free and can recover cells in 20 minutes.
Application Note Nana-Fatima Haruna, John Huang TheWell Bioscience, North Brunswick, NJ 08902 Introduction Glioblastoma is the most common primary tumor in the central nervous system. With an incidence of 3–5 out of 100,000 persons in Western countries, glioblastoma is one of the most deadly forms of malignant tumors, which has a median survival time of […]
Application Note Nana-Fatima Haruna, Atsuo Ochi, John Huang TheWell Bioscience, North Brunswick, NJ 08902 Introduction Invasion studies have been crucial in identifying key intracellular signaling pathways and membrane-bound and soluble enzymes that influence cellular movement through a three dimensional (3D) extracellular matrix (ECM)1,2. Such information has been used to investigate mechanisms governing the infiltration of […]
