Zhou, P., Li, D., Chen, G. H., & Wang, Y. (2013). Serum-free culture of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Zhongguo shi yan xue ye xue za zhi, 21(5), 1256-1260. In this study, umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSC) were cultured with serum-free medium, and compared with culture in medium containing fetal bovine serum (FBS). The normal umbilical cords were acquired during cesarean section, and then were cultured with MesenCult-XF serum-free medium or medium containing 10% FBS. The authors concluded that the serum-free medium has been confirmed to culture MSC, which have potential of transfer and differentiation with count for clinical application, and can avoid foreign protein sensitization. MesenCult-XF serum-free medium is a commercially available product. The precise formulation is proprietary. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24156445 |
