ih-MSCs were cultured in a rotating wall vessel (RWV) bioreactor (RCCS-8DQ bioreactor (Synthecon, Houston, TX) fitted with 10 mL high aspect ratio vessels on custom-fabricated 120 ± 6.2 μm diameter gelMA microcarriers. For this purpose, approximately 110,000 gelMA microcarriers with a combined growth area of 50 cm2 and 5×104 cells (1000 cells/cm2) were incubated in 10 mL of CCM in the RWV bioreactor at 24 revolutions per minute. Half of the media was replaced with fresh CCM every 2 days. iH-MSCs fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and fluorescently labeled with CellTracker Green (green), DRAQ-5 (blue), and DiI (gold) in the cytoplasm, nuclei, and plasma membrane, respectively. Label-free elastic scattering (white) and trasmitted light (grey) are also used to visualize the sample. Passage 7 Day 3 single cell labeled with CelllTracker Green in the cytoplasm. Staining: Cytoplasm (green); plasma membrane (gold); nucleus (blue); whole cell (elastic scattering white)
