Culture with human serum facilitates tissue engineering of nasal septal cartilage
Published in Blood Weekly, November 16th, 2006
In a recently published report, investigators in the United States conducted a study to "compare the chondrogenic and proliferative effects of pooled human serum (HS) and fetal bovine serum (FBS) on tissue-engineered human nasal septal chondrocytes."
"Human chondrocytes were expanded for one passage in monolayer in medium supplemented with 10% FBS, 2% HS, 10% HS, or 20% HS. Cells were then suspended in alginate beads for 3D culture for 2 weeks with 10% FBS, 2% HS, 10% HS, or 20% HS. Monolayer cell yields were greater with HS than FBS."
"In alginate,...
