Evaluation of the growth and osteogenic differentiation of ASCs cultured with PL and seeded on PLGA scaffolds.

Scaffold serves as an important component of tissue engineering, which facilitates cell attachment, proliferation and differentiation of cultured cells. In this study we aimed to use platelet lysates as a substitute for FBS in culturing and proliferation of human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ASCs), which constitute a promising source for cell therapy. We characterized ASCs in the presence of PL, and then we seeded them onto poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) scaffolds, osteogenic media was used to induce their proliferation and osteogenic differentiation.
