Serum-Free, Xeno-Free Systems For The Culture And Differentiation Of Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (hMSC) are multipotent adult stem cells present in a variety of tissue niches in the human body such as Adipose Tissue (AT), Bone Marrow (BM), Placenta (PL) and Wharton's Jelly (WJ). hMSC have advantages over other stem cell types due to the broad variety of their tissue sources, for being immunoprivileged, and for their ability to specifically migrate to tumors and wounds in vivo. Due to these traits hMSCs have become desirable tools in tissue engineering and cell therapy.

Sartorius offers a novel serum-free (SF) and xeno-free (XF) culture system, which includes specially developed solutions for the attachment, dissociation and cryopreservation, as well as MSC NutriStem® media, which enable long-term growth of hMSCs from various sources while retaining self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation potential.
