| Features: |
Qualified medium and serum to support undifferentiated growth of Rat Mesenchymal Stem Cells. |
| |
| Applications: |
Mesenchymal stem cells are useful tools for a wide range of therapeutic and basic research, including transplantation studies and studies examining the repair of cardiac tissue, bone, cartilage, and tendons often using 3-D matrices. |
