1. A method to attach human pluripotent stem cells to a surface of a porous planar substrate containing from at least 8% N to about 12% N, from at least 12% O to at least 55% O, a contact angle from 18 degrees to 32 degrees, and lacking an adlayer and a feeder cell layer, comprising the steps of:
- a) adding Y-27632 to a suspension of pluripotent stem cells;
b) adding the cell suspension of step a) to the porous planar substrate;
c) allowing the cells to attach to the surface of the porous planar substrate; and
d) removing the Y-27632 after the cells attach to the surface of the porous planar substrate,wherein removal of the Y-27632 does not result in detachment of the cells,wherein the porous planar substrate comprises mixed cellulose esters, nylon or cellulose acetate, andwherein the attaching comprises culturing the cells and the porous planar substrate under conditions that allow for growth without differentiation.

7. A method of enhancing the attachment of human pluripotent stem cells to a surface of a porous planar substrate containing from at least 8% N to about 12% N, from at least 12% O to at least 55% O, a contact angle from 18 degrees to 32 degrees, and lacking an adlayer and a feeder cell layer, comprising the steps of:
-
a) treating a suspension of pluripotent stem cells with Y-27632; b) contacting the porous planar substrate with the treated suspension of pluripotent human stem cells; c) allowing the cells to attach to the surface of the porous planar substrate; and d) removing the Y-27632 after the cells attach to the surface of the porous planar substrate, wherein at least 95% of the cells maintain expression of markers associated with pluripotency, wherein the porous planar substrate comprises mixed cellulose esters, nylon or cellulose acetate, and wherein the Y-27632 enhances attachment of the cell suspension to the porous planar substrate. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 18, 19, 20)
