except for MSCs from umbilical cord blood, which use Iscove’s modifi ed Dulbecco’s
medium. Using these media, MSCs can be grown but with a long doubling time
(more than 1 month) to achieve useful quantities. To stimulate MSC growth and
reduce the doubling time, cytokines or growth factors (GFs) are added to the
medium. Three GFs are commonly used: epidermal growth factor (EGF), basic
fi broblast growth factor (FGF), and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) (Tarte
et al. 2010 ). Although these media are simple, inexpensive, and convenient for
ex vivo MSC culture, they contain a xenogeneic source of GFs and proteins (from
