Figure 6From: Pathogen-free, plasma-poor platelet lysate and expansion of human mesenchymal stem cells MSC growth in the presence of fetal bovine serum (FBS) or PL/PI-PL lots. Growth of three MSC populations (MSC9, MSC180, MSC082) at passage1,2,3 (P1,P2,P3) in the presence of PL1, PI-PL11, PI-PL16, PI-PL43/44 and FBS, expressed as the absolute number of cells obtained in cultures in D-MEM medium. Cell number, expressed by a logarithmic scale, shows in any case an irrelevant effect of FBS on MSC growth when used as a supplement of a basic culture medium.Back to article page
