MC-coated hydrogel dishes for hESCs differentiation. a Original photograph s of the MC Hydrogel-coated in a polystyrene dish at distinct temperatures; b Photograph of a water drop on the surface of the MC hydrogel coated in a polystyrene dish in the dried or hydrated state; c Photomicrographs of the hESCs cultivated by different methods for distinct periods (magnification 40x). MC: methyl cellulose; hESCs: human embryonic stem cells; HDC: hanging drop culture; LSC-PS: liquid suspension culture in polystyrene dish; LSC-ULAP: liquid suspension culture in the Corning Ultralow Attachment plate; LSC-MC/PS: liquid suspension culture in the MC-coated polystyrene dish.
