The disc-shaped microcarriers: A new tool for increasing harvesting of adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells

Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (A-MSC) are promising tools for regenerative medicine, but their in vitro amplification before administration is still an issue. Microcarriers emerge as a novel approach for A-MSC expansion in bioreactors. Here, microcarriers with different shapes and functionalizations were compared according to their efficiency for A-MSC expansion. In particular, novel disc shape microcarriers were compared to...
