The importance of providing a physiologically relevant environment for cell culture is well recognized. The combination of proper environmental cues which are provided in vivo by the bloodstream and extracellular matrix must be reproduced to properly examine cell response in vitro, and cannot be recapitulated using traditional culture on polystyrene. Here, we have developed a device, the dynamic stem cell culture platform (DSCCP), consisting of a biomimetic scaffold cultured within the dynamic environment of a perfusion bioreactor. By varying scaffold parameters including stiffness and protein inclusion at the material surface, we found that human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) were able to adhere to modified substrates, while still maintaining multipotency. Culture in a perfusion bioreactor showed cell survival and proliferation, particularly on modified substrates. The DSCCP represents a complete platform for cell adhesion and subsequent evaluation, including the response of a cell population to drug treatment.
