[0001] This disclosure relates to a culture medium for cells containing specific components (particularly various stem cells such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)). This disclosure particularly concerns the composition and use of a culture medium suitable for the proliferation and maintenance of various stem cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells.
[0002] Cell culture typically requires a culture medium containing specific components. These components are essential for promoting cell proliferation, maintenance, and the expression of specific functions. However, conventional culture media may lack certain components necessary for optimizing cell proliferation. This disclosure provides an improved culture medium to address these issues.
