After digestion, the adipose tissue was centrifuged and filtered, and 2 mL was inoculated into a T75 culture flask and cultured with αMEM (Gibco) supplemented with 5% UltraGRO Advanced (HELIOS) for 5-10 days (P0 cells). When the cell confluence reached 50-70%, the cells were digested with 1×TrypLE (Gibco) and passaged into new culture flasks (from P0 to P1). The same culture medium was then used to culture the cells at 5000 cells / cm 2The density of the cells is 5000 cells / cm2, and the cells of the 2nd generation (P2) and the 5th generation (P5) are used to establish the seed cell bank and the working cell bank, respectively.

The culture medium is replaced every 3 days (P0 cells). When the cells around the tissue pieces are covered, the cells are digested using 1x TrypLE (Gibco), and the cells are subcultured into new culture bottles (from P0 to P1). The subsequent culture is performed using the same culture medium with the density of 5000 cells / cm 2 The cells of the 2nd generation (P2) and the 5th generation (P5) are used to establish the seed cell bank and the working cell bank, respectively.
