Multipotency is the ability of stem cells to differentiate into adipogenesis, osteogenesis and chondrogenesis. In general, stem cells lose their multipotency during cell expansion. The purpose of this study is therefore to slow down the loss of multipotency of stem cells during cell expansion by usi...
