hPSC expansion in the thermoreversible hydrogel
(A) Experiment schematic of hPSC expansion for each passage. Ri = Rock Inhibitor (Y-27632). Further details in STAR Methods.
(B) Representative images of stem cell aggregates within the thermoreversible hydrogel by day 4 of each passage. All scale bars = 100 uM.
(C) hPSC fold change after 4 days of culture in each passage, between seeding count and final cell count. n = 3. Data are represented as mean +/− SD.
(D) PluriTest results of hPSCs maintained in the thermoreversible hydrogel for 5 passages.
(E) Representative images of hPSCs maintained for 5 passages in either the 3D thermoreversible hydrogel or 2D Matrigel. Scale bar = 100 μm. p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant (N.S. p > 0.05, ∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001).
