Series of sulfonated polymers were evaluated as additives in cell culture media. Some of the compounds, such as sulfated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), prevented denaturation and loss of basic fibroblast growth factor during cell culture and enhanced human mesenchymal stem cell proliferation. These compounds are xeno-free alternatives of heparin, an animal-derived sulfated saccharide, often used as an additive. To the best our knowledge, this study is the first to show that chemically defined synthetic chemicals, such as sulfated polyvinyl alcohol, can be used for this purpose.
