This patent discloses various three dimensional biomaterials that resemble the actual bone marrow microenvironment and are useful for stimulating expansion of hematopoietic stem cells.
This patent may be used for expanding autologous stem cells for patients that lack a suitable bone marrow or stem cell donor.
Additionally, the ability to expand and grow hematopoietic stem cells can also be useful for transdifferentiating the stem cells into various other tissues that may be useful for regenerative medicine.
