Periosteal cells grown in macroporous microcarrier bead columns were cyclically loaded with compressive force using a newly developed model. In response to 1/2 h of cyclic compression, RNA synthesis increased significantly by twofold, from 113.4 +/- 19.6 to 260.7 +/- 363 (p < 0.01) after 16 h, whereas DNA synthesis did not increase significantly after 24 h. The microcarrier bead model was calibrated using a linear volume displacement transducer with a range of strain magnitudes applied across the column of 1000-6000 microstrain.

Introduction: To bring cultivated beef to the market, a scalable system that can support growth of bovine satellite cells (bSCs) in a serum-free and preferably also animal-free medium is of utmost importance. The use of microcarriers (MCs) is, at the moment, one of the most promising technologies for scaling up. MCs offer a large surface to volume ratio, they can be used in scalable stirred tank bioreactors, where the culture conditions can be tightly controlled to meet the cells' requirements (temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen).

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) plays an important role in the field of gene therapy and viral vaccines, especially as an oncolytic virus. However, the mass production of HSV-1 viral vectors remains a challenge in the industry. In this study, a microcarrier-mediated serum-reduced medium culture was used to improve the bioprocess of HSV-1 production and increase HSV-1 yields.

Microcarrier-based cell culture is a commonly used method to facilitate the growth of anchorage-dependent cells like MA 104 for antigen manufacturing. However, conventionally, static cell culture is employed for cell propagation before seeding the production bioreactor with microcarriers (MCs). This study demonstrates the effective replacement of the conventional method by serial subculturing on MCs with in situ cell detachment under optimal conditions in closed culture units.

Microcarriers provide a high surface-area-to-volume ratio that can realize high yields of cell products, including human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Here, we report a novel poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)-based microcarrier for hMSC expansion in suspension culture. PVA microcarriers were prepared as collagen-coated PVA hydrogels 181 μm in size and a high surface-area-to-weight ratio of 2945 cm/g.

Numerous studies have shown that cell replacement therapy can replenish lost cells and rebuild neural circuitry in animal models of Parkinson's disease. Transplantation of midbrain dopaminergic progenitor cells is a promising treatment for Parkinson's disease. However, transplanted cells can be injured by mechanical damage during handling and by changes in the transplantation niche.
