متن کاملNanofiber Expansion of Umbilical Cord Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cells
Background The aim of this study was the ex vivo expansion of Umbilical Cord Blood hematopoietic stem cells on biocompatible nanofiber scaffolds. Materials and Methods CD133+ hematopoietic stem cells were separated from umbilical cord blood using MidiMacs (positive selection) system by means of monocolonal antibody CD133 (microbeads) subsequently, flowcytometry method was done to asses...
