Abstract excerpt
The behaviour of human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) when cultured in contact with a range of silane-modified surfaces was examined to determine if changing the surface chemistry affected the early differentiation potential of mesenchymal stem cells in vitro over a 7-day period. Cells were cultured for 1 and 7 days in direct contact with glass which had been functionalized by surface treatment to provide a range...
