Research Activities

Due to traditional 2-D culture methods being very labor intensive and limited in scalability, is important to establish a platform for the large-scale production of human MSC as encapsulated 3-D aggregates, able to generate spheroids with controlled size, under defined xenogeneic-free conditions is a key objective. Also there is a need to the development of a characterization platform for human MSC spheroids, able to fully define the characteristics and therapeutic potency of these cells.
