Synthetic surfaces for culturing stem cell derived cardiomyocytes
Synthetic surfaces suitable for culturing stem cell derived cardiomyocytes contain acrylate polymers formed from one or more acrylate monomers. The acrylate surfaces, in many cases, are suitable for culturing stem cell derived cardiomyocytes in chemically defined media.
1. A method for culturing pluripotent stem-cell derived cardiomyocytes, comprising: depositing a suspension comprising the pluripotent stem-cell derived cardiomyocytes on a polymer material, and culturing the deposited pluripotent stem-cell derived cardiomyocytes in a cell culture medium, wherein the polymer material comprises a diacrylate or a dimethacrylate.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the diacrylate is poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dimethacrylate is glycerol dimethacrylate.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dimethacrylate is 1,4-butanediol dimethacrylate.
5. The method of claim 1 wherein the pluripotent stem-cell derived cardiomyocytes are human cells.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the pluripotent stem-cell derived cardiomyocytes are human embryonic stem-cell derived cardiomyocytes.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the cell culture medium is a chemically defined medium.
