Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a system and method for culturing pluripotent stem cells in suspension without serum and feeder layer. Specifically, the present invention relates to a system and method for suspension culture of pluripotent stem cells using a serum-free, feeder-free, and chemically defined culture system. Background technique
[0002] In recent decades, the study of stem cell biology has advanced people's understanding of many basic biological issues, and has also prompted people to explore cell therapy methods for many diseases. Since Evans and Matthew Kaufman first discovered mouse embryonic stem cells in 1981, embryonic stem cell research has been the focus of attention. Since then, the acquisition of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has brought pluripotent stem cell research to a climax. Mouse pluripotent stem cells (including mouse embryonic stem cells and iPSCs) are often used as the best cell model for studying the growth, diffe...
