Synthetic surfaces for culturing stem cell derived oligodendrocyte progenitor cells
Synthetic surfaces suitable for culturing stem cell derived oligodendrocyte progenitor cells contain acrylate polymers formed from one or more acrylate monomers. The acrylate surfaces, in many cases, are suitable for culturing stem cell derived oligodendrocyte progenitor cells in chemically defined media.
1. A cell culture comprising 1) an oligodendrocyte progenitor cell disposed on a polymer material, wherein the polymer material comprises an acrylate or a diacrylate; and 2) a culture medium.
2. The cell culture of claim 1 , wherein the oligodendrocyte progenitor cell is a human oligodendrocyte progenitor cell.
3. The cell culture of claim 1 , wherein the oligodendrocyte progenitor cell is derived from a human embryonic stem cell.
4. The cell culture of claim 1 , wherein the oligodendrocyte progenitor cell is derived from an induced pluripotent stem cell.
5. A cell culture comprising 1) a progenitor cell expressing Nestin and Olig1 disposed on a polymer material, wherein the polymer material comprises an acrylate or a diacrylate; and 2) a culture medium.
6. The cell culture of claim 5 , wherein the progenitor cell is a human oligodendrocyte progenitor cell.
7. The cell culture of claim 5 , wherein the progenitor cell is derived from a human embryonic stem cell.
8. The cell culture of claim 5 , wherein the progenitor cell is derived from an induced pluripotent stem cell.
