Poly(α-hydroxy Acids)-Based Cell Microcarriers

Poly(α-hydroxy Acids)-Based Cell Microcarriers

Biodegradable poly(α-hydroxyacids) have gained increasing interest in the biomedical field for their use as cell microcarriers thanks to their biodegradability, biocompatibility, tunable mechanical properties/degradation rates and processability. The synthesis of these poly(α-hydroxyacids) can be finely controlled to yield (co)polymers of desired mechanical properties and degradation rates. On ...

Bovine myoblast cell production in a microcarriers-based system

For several tissue engineering applications, in particular food products, scaling up culture of mammalian cells is a necessary task. The prevailing method for large scale cell culture is the stirred tank bioreactor where anchor dependent cells are grown on microcarriers suspended in medium. We use a spinner flask system with cells grown on microcarriers to optimize the growth of bovine myoblast...

Growth of fish cell lines on microcarriers.

Microcarrier beads were evaluated as substrates for the propagation of five anchorage-dependent fish cell lines. Growth of rainbow trout gonad (RTG-2) and Atlantic salmon cells was limited on microcarriers maintained in suspension. However, stationary microcarriers were suitable substrates for the growth of RTG-2, AS, Chinook salmon embryo (CHSE-214), and fathead minnow cells. Cell yields range...
