Core Tip
Core Tip: Growth factor supplementation of stem cells facilitates cell differentiation and/or cell growth, but there is an incomplete understanding of which growth factors are optimal in 3D culture. We compared different growth factors for the proliferation and tenogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in a monolayer culture (2D) and in a collagen sponge-based 3D culture. We found that transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) showed great promise in the tenogenic differentiation of BMSCs compared to growth differentiation factor 7 and insulin-like growth factor 1 in both 2D and 3D cultures, and the 3D culture enhanced the tenogenic differentiation of BMSCs well beyond the level of induction in the 2D culture after TGF-β1 treatment.
