## Abstract Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) have the potential to differentiate into all cell types in the body and hold great promise for regenerative medicine; however, large‐scale expansion of undifferentiated hESCs remains a major challenge. Self‐renewal of hESCs requires culturing these cel

Current membrane-based bioartificial organs consist of three basic components: (1) a synthetic membrane, (2) cells that secrete the product of interest, and 131 an encapsulated matrix material. Alginate and agarose have been widely used to encapsulate cells for artificial organ applications. It is i
## Abstract A hydrogel was prepared from pullulan and evaluated as a novel biomaterial for vascular engineering. Using a crosslinking process with sodium trimetaphosphate in aqueous solution, homogeneous, transparent, and easy‐to‐handle pullulan gels were obtained with water‐content higher than 90%
## Abstract Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent cells with the ability to differentiate among all embryonic and adult cell lineages. Derivation of human ES cells opened up the way for treatment of many serious disorders by stem cell‐based transplantation therapy. One of the most exciting chal
Rat hepatocytes were seeded on three-dimensional highly porous polyvinylalcohol (PVA) and aminoethyl-modified polyvinylalcohol (AE-PVA) matrices. Hepatocytes were cultured under static and dynamic conditions. The three-dimensional matrices offered an improved extracellular microenvironment for long-
Nonwoven fabrics were used as a support matrix for culturing anchorage-dependent diploid human lung fibroblast (IMR-90) cells. The mast significant advantage of the fabrics is that low-inocula concentrations suffice to attain high final cell density. Cultures were successfully grown from inocula con
