Abstract

Controlled expansion and differentiation of primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) could allow the transfusion of specific blood cells in large quantities in patients treated with high dose chemo- or radiotherapy. In this study, we introduce the development of a novel, tissue engineering inspired approach to HPC expansion. We present the development of porous crosslinked collagen structures that allow proliferation of HPC-like cells and that can be further modified to create an optimal environment for HPCs to expand and differentiate.
