제목 PLGA microsphere/alginate system of dual growth factor delivery for stem cell differentiation
초록 While the pivotal role of growth factors on stem cell differentiation has been widely known, it is believed that continuous release of growth factors may not be enough to elicit a maximized differentiation potential of stem cells and therefore a temporally and/or spatially controlled release system is definitely required. In this study a dual growth factor delivery system that exhibits a temporal release of individual growth factor is being realized using PLGA microsphere and alginate hydrogel. Once PLGA microspheres are manufactured using W1/O/W2 double emulsion method, they are then subjected to a micro-encapsulation in alginate by applying electric field. With each growth factor enclosed, the efficacy of dual delivery system will be evaluated using stem cells. This study can provide a basic understanding of how stem cells respond to individual growth factors that are delivered in a temporally controlled manner from dual release system.
