Corning® Synthemax® II SC Subsrate as an Ideal Surface for Human Neural Stem Cell Culture
27 May 2013Corning Synthemax II-SC Substrate is a completely synthetic coating comprised of a proprietary peptide cross-linked to a unique matrix which allows the user to coat their preferred format of cultureware. Synthemax II-SC can be used to maintain and expand human neural stem cells (hNSC) over multiple passages, without the loss of their multipotent state. This paper compared Corning’s synthetic substrate to a commonly used biological NSC coating, poly-L-ornithine with laminin. For at least 5 passages, hNSCs grown on Corning® Synthemax® II-SC can maintain a consistent doubling time, exhibit expression of multipotent stem cell specific markers Nestin and Sox2 and can support differentiation into astrocytes and oligodendrocytes.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.
