Abstract excerpt
Expansion of multipotent, undifferentiated and proliferating cord blood (CB)-hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in vitro is limited and insufficient. Bone marrow (BM) engineering in vitro allows mimicking the main components of the hematopoietic niche compared to conventional expansion strategies. In this study, four different 3D biomaterial scaffolds (PCL, PLGA, fibrin and collagen) were tested for freshly isolated...
