Use of Vericyte® Media Extends Lifespan of Primary Cells
27 May 2015This application note has shown that endothelial cells cultured in vericyte® Endothelial Cell Growth Medium could be grown for more than 20 population doublings (PD), whilst retaining their primary cell characteristics over the course of the expansion. The specific markers, CD31 and von Willebrand factor, were highly expressed in endothelial cells growing in vericyte® Endothelial Cell Growth Medium in all PDs tested and 90% of the endothelial cells over a PD of 20 were still negative for markers of senescence.

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.
