摘要: Embryonic stem (ES) cells are of significant interest as a renewable source therapeutically useful cells. ES cell aggregation is important for both human and mouse embryoid body (EB) formation the subsequent generation derivatives. Aggregation between EBs (agglomeration), however, inhibits growth differentiation in stirred or high-cell-density static cultures. We demonstrate that agglomeration two initiated by E-cadherin-mediated attachment followed active migration. report development technology capable controlling cell-cell interactions scalable culture mass encapsulation size-specified agarose capsules. When placed stirred-suspension bioreactors, encapsulated can be used to produce quantities hematopoietic progenitor controlled environment.
