Despite ongoing efforts to transition cultures to feeder-free conditions, the derivation and culture of human embryonic stem cells (hESC) remain largely dependent on co-cultures with mouse embryonic feeders (MEFs). Here, we show a novel methodology for rapidly removing feeders from hESC cultures prior to experimentation.

This protocol details a monolayer, serum-free method to efficiently generate hepatocyte-like cells from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) in 18 days. This entails six steps as hPSCs sequentially differentiate into intermediate cell-types such as the primitive streak, definitive endoderm, posterior foregut and liver bud progenitors before forming hepatocyte-like cells.

FAQs
The outcome depends on whether processing sufficiently disrupts cell membranes, lyses the cells, and removes the resulting debris. Physical, chemical, and enzymatic treatments can contribute to these stages, while rinsing helps clear residual cellular material. In practice, incomplete disruption or inadequate debris removal can leave unwanted components in the tissue or scaffold.
A high removal result is not sufficient if processing also damages the extracellular matrix. The matrix provides the scaffold’s structural and biological context, so researchers must balance elimination of cellular material with preservation of matrix features. Evaluating both outcomes helps identify protocols that improve compatibility without compromising the material’s structural function.
These approaches represent different ways to process tissue or scaffolds before rinsing. Their shared purpose is to disrupt cell membranes and lyse cells, but the selected treatment strategy affects how effectively debris is released and removed. Comparing approaches through removal and matrix-preservation outcomes helps bioengineers optimize processing rather than judging success from one step alone.
A typical workflow begins by applying physical, chemical, or enzymatic treatment to disrupt membranes and lyse cells. Subsequent rinsing or related processing removes the released cellular debris. Researchers then evaluate the removal outcome together with extracellular matrix preservation. This sequence connects the treatment conditions to both biological compatibility and retained scaffold structure.
A high value indicates that little cellular material remains, which may reduce unwanted components capable of triggering immune responses. However, the result should be interpreted with matrix preservation rather than in isolation. A protocol is more useful when it achieves substantial removal while retaining the extracellular matrix needed for structural function in a biomaterial.
The measurement is useful when researchers develop or compare decellularization protocols for tissues and scaffolds. It supports evaluation of biomaterials intended for tissue engineering, regenerative medicine, and engineered grafts. By linking cellular-material removal with immune-response concerns and matrix condition, the metric helps guide selection of processing strategies for downstream biological applications.
