Better Way to Grow Stem Cells

09-28-2010 • arclein

To create their growing surface, the scientists tried out about 500 polymers with varying degrees of roughness, stiffness, and surface hydrophobicity (water-repelling behavior). While the first two variables seemed to make little difference, they discovered that there was indeed an optimal range of hydrophobicity that the cells liked best. They also found that the best polymers contained a high percentage of acrylates, a common ingredient
