Growth Factor-free Proliferation & Differentiation of Stem Cell

The conventional methods for cultivating stem cells typically require the use of animals and biochemical growth factors that may also encourage the growth of cancer cells. These methods are costly and the cells produced are often cancerous.

• The device, called inorganic sculptured extracellular nanomatrices (iSECnMs), uses nanoscopic structures on its surfaces to stimulate growth and differentiation of stem cells by physical stimulation as well as inhibit other directors of differentiation.
• Therefore, the device can substantially reduce the risk of inflammation or cancer cell formation. The material is biocompatible and low-cost, so the device is well-suited for mass production.

• This device can stimulate the growth and differentiation of stem cells by physical stimulation, while reducing the risk of inflammation or cancer cell formation arising from the stem cells from conventional methods using growth factors.
• Controllable stem cell differentiation can be achieved
• The device is suitable for mass production
