Microencapsulation technology: a powerful tool for integrating expansion and cryopreservation of human embryonic stem cells.

The successful implementation of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs)-based technologies requires the production of relevant numbers of well-characterized cells and their efficient long-term storage. In this study, cells were microencapsulated in alginate to develop an integrated bioprocess for expans...
