Effective expansion of umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells by regulation of microencapsulated osteoblasts under hypoxic condition.

The expansion of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) from umbilical cord blood (UCB) with the support of microencapsulated osteoblasts under hypoxia environment was investigated. The expansion of HSPCs was evaluated through the total number of UCB mononuclear cells (MNCs) produced, their rep...
