AbstractThe viability and osteogenic differentiation potentials of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) encapsulated in alginate microcapsules for bone formation were studied. Goat MSCs were established and cultured in vitro for the study. The cell samples were divided into two groups, monolayer and microcapsule cultures. The MTS colorimetric assay was used to evaluate cell viability in both monolayer and alginate microcapsule groups. In monolayer cultures, MSCs were found to maintain a fibroblast-like morphology. It was also observed that the encapsulated MSCs, without any genetic modifications, retained the ability to differentiate into osteoblasts after appropriate stimulation in vitro.
