METHODS, COMPOSITIONS AND DEVICES FOR GROWING CELLS

摘要

A method and a composition of a culture medium are provided for obtaining ex vivo human progenitor cell expansion. The culture medium comprises human progenitor and/or stem cells, stromal cells and growth factors. The culture medium is replaced substantially continuously at a rate sufficient to maintain an effective growth environment for expansion of progenitor cells, and at least one portion of the stromal cells are transformed fibroblast cells capable of excreting at least one growth factor which directs the proliferation and/or differenciation of said human progenitor and/or stem cells.
