Kyoto: A new nanofiber-on-microfiber matrix could help produce more and
better quality stem cells for disease treatment and regenerative
therapies. A matrix made of gelatin nanofibers on a synthetic polymer microfiber
mesh may provide a better way to culture large quantities of healthy
human stem cells. Developed by a team of researchers led by Ken-ichiro Kamei of Kyoto
University’s Institute for Integrated Cell-Material Sciences (iCeMS),
the ‘fiber-on-fiber’ (FF) matrix improves on currently available stem
cell culturing techniques.
