Characterization of mesenchymal stem cells – why culture conditions and cell identity matter
Learn more about how uniform characterization of MSCs can be applied for improving culture performance and research progress.
Different methods of MSC isolation and expansion make it difficult to compare study outcomes. Download our scientific poster about MSC characterization and learn more about:
- How comparable standards improve reproducibility of your results
- Minimum criteria to identify MSCs according to ISCT standard
- Cell identification using appropriate surface markers
- Assessing self-renewal capability of MSCs
- Differentiation and determination of multipotency
