Fig 3. Effects of 2D and 3D polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) structures on human HSC cultivation.
Human HSCs were cultured for 14 DIV in HSC medium supplemented with 1 mM VPA on SiOn-covered and uncovered 2D PDMS or 3D PDMS scaffolds. CD34+ cells were determined by flow cytometric analyses using a combination of anti-CD34/anti-CD45 mouse monoclonal antibody and 7AAD. (A) The amplification of all cells and CD34+ cells, the percentage and absolute number of CD34+ cells as well as their viability (B) are depicted for four different donors as their mean ± SD. (C) The amplification of all cells and CD34+ cells, the percentage and the absolute number of CD34+ cells as well as their viability (D) are depicted for nine different donors as their mean ± SD. *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.01.
