Dynamic Simulation and Control of Microbial Cell Population in Continuous Bioreactors

Dynamics and Control of Cell Populations in Continuous Bioreactors

Continuous bioreactors are critical unit operations in a wide variety of biotechnological processes. While they can be viewed as chemical reactors, bioreactors offer unique modeling and control challenges due to the complexity of the underlying biochemical reactions and the distributed properties of the cell population. The dynamic behavior of continuous bioreactors can be strongly affected by ...

Environmental Control in Flow Bioreactors

The realization of physiologically-relevant advanced in vitro models is not just related to the reproduction of a three-dimensional multicellular architecture, but also to the maintenance of a cell culture environment in which parameters, such as temperature, pH, and hydrostatic pressure are finely controlled. Tunable and reproducible culture conditions are crucial for the study of environment-...

Stem cell cultivation in bioreactors.

Cell-based therapies have generated great interest in the scientific and medical communities, and stem cells in particular are very appealing for regenerative medicine, drug screening and other biomedical applications. These unspecialized cells have unlimited self-renewal capacity and the remarkable ability to produce mature cells with specialized functions, such as blood cells, nerve cells or ...
