Cell-adherent microcarriers are increasingly used to expand multipotent stem cells on a large scale for therapeutic applications. However, the role of the microcarrier properties and geometry on the phenotypic activities of multipotent cells has not been well studied. This study presents a significant interplay of the number of cell adhesion sites and the curvature of the microcarrier in regulating cell growth and differentiation by culturing mesenchymal stem cells on alginate microgels chemical ...[more]
