Recent Advances in High Cell Density Cultivation for Production of Recombinant Protein

This paper reviews recent strategies used for increasing specific yield and productivity in high cell density cultures. High cell density cultures offer an efficient means for the economical production of recombinant proteins. However, there are still some challenges associated with high cell density cultivation (HCDC) techniques. A variety of strategies in several aspects including host design...

Advances and challenges in storage, transplantation, expansion and homing of Umbilical Cord Blood Hematopoietic Stem Cells (UCB-HSCs)

Abstract Background and Objectives Umbilical cord blood hematopoietic stem cells (UCB-HSCs) have high potential capabilities in the treatment of hematological and non-hematological disorders. Awareness of biology, self-renewal, homing, expansion, storage, and transplantation can lead to optimal use of these cells.   Materials and Methods In this Review article in order to investigate the adv...

Tissue Engineering: A Biological Solution for Tissue Damage, Loss or End Stage Organ Failure

In recent years the science of tissue engineering has emerged as a powerful tool for the development of a novel set of tissue replacement parts and technologies. Recent advances in the fields of biomaterials, stem cell technologies, growth factor field and biomimetics have created a unique set of opportunities for investigators to fabricate lab-grown tissues from combination of extracellular ma...

Review of mechanisms and recent advances in cancer photo thermal therapy

Abstract. Cancer is a major health problem all over the world. Photo thermal therapy (PTT) is a non-invasive method in cancer treatment. In PTT, the laser light usually in near-infra red region is absorbed and converted to heat in the cancerous tissue. The temperature above 40 ° C in PTT can induce some effects including irreversible damage to proteins, changes in enzyme struc...
