Cell fiber-based three-dimensional culture system for highly efficient expansion of human induced pluripotent stem cells

Abstract Human pluripotent stem cells are a potentially powerful cellular resource for application in regenerative medicine. Because such applications require large numbers of human pluripotent stem cell-derived cells, a scalable culture system of human pluripotent stem cell needs to be developed. S...
