Human embryonic stem cells cultured on hydrogels grafted with extracellular matrix protein‐derived peptides with polyethylene glycol joint nanosegments by Abdullah A. Alarfaj, Abdurahman H. Hirad, Murugan A. Munusamy, S. Suresh Kumar, Akon Higuchi

“…Abstract Human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) can be proliferated on completely synthetic materials under xeno‐free cultivation conditions using biomaterials grafted with extracellular matrix protein (ECM)‐derived peptides. However, cell culture biomaterials grafted with ECM‐derived peptides must be prepared using a high concentration of peptide reaction solution (e.g. 1000 μg/ml), whereas the ECM concentration of the ECM‐coated surface for hPSC culture is typically 5 μg/ml. …”
