StemCultures StemBeads controlled-release growth factors

Tuesday, 04 April, 2023 | Supplied by: Sapphire Bioscience


StemBeads are controlled-release growth factors for stem cell and growth-factor-dependent cell cultures. The proprietary controlled-release reagents provide a stable micro-environment for improved cell growth. StemCultures currently offers StemBeads for five different growth factors: FGF2, EGF, GDNF, BDNF and Activin A.

The technology encapsulates the growth factor in a poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) hydrogel that stabilises the protein and releases it steadily over several days. With growth factor levels stabilised, spontaneous differentiation is reduced, pluripotency is increased and feeding schedules are reduced to only 2–3 times per week.
