A 3D Polymer Scaffold Platform for Enhanced in vitro Culture of Human & Rabbit Buccal Epithelial Cells for Cell Therapies.

Background null Buccal mucosal epithelial cells show promising application for various regenerative medicine approaches. In this study, we examined the feasibility of culturing rabbit and human buccal mucosal epithelial cells in a novel thermoreversible gelation polymer (TGP) scaffold, without feeder layers or other foreign proteins. null Methods & results null The results of this 28-day in vitro culture, u sing the conventional technique (2D)...
