During two‐dimensional expansion to achieve a clinically relevant number of cells, mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) exhibit profound degeneration in progenitor potency. To harness the robust therapeutic potential of MSCs, a consistent, rapid, and minimally detrimental expansion method is necessary. This review explores how modulations in the two‐dimensional paradigm affect MSC progenitor properties and highlights recent efforts in alternative expansion techniques.
