Brohlin, M., Kelk, P., Wiberg, M., & Kingham, P. J. (2017). Effects of a defined xeno-free medium on the growth and neurotrophic and angiogenic properties of human adult stem cells. Cytotherapy, 19(5), 629-639. In this study, the growth properties and neurotrophic and angiogenic effects of human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) cultured in a defined xeno-free, serum-free medium (MesenCult-XF) were investigated. Human MSCs from adipose tissue (ASCs) and bone marrow (BMSCs) were cultured in Minimum Essential Medium-alpha (alpha-MEM) containing fetal calf serum or in MesenCult-XF. ASCs and BMSCs exhibit high levels of neurotrophic and angiogenic activity when grown in the defined serum-free medium indicating their suitability for treatment of various neurological conditions. However, long-term expansion in MesenCult-XF might be restricted to ASCs. MesenCult-XF is a commercial product. The formulation is proprietary. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1465324917304243 |
