Objective: To compare macroporous microcarrier Cytopore 2 and Cultispher S for their effects in microgravity culture of CL-1 cells.
Methods: CL-1 cells were cultured on Cytopore 2 and Cultispher S respectively in a rotational cell culture system (RCCS) in a volume of 50 ml. Dynamic morphological observation and cell counting and functional test were carried out during the cell culture.
Results: The cells were capable of adhering to and proliferating on both of the microcarriers, reaching the growth peak on day 9 of cell culture with the maximum cell density of 4x10(6)/ml on cultispher S. Albumin was significantly higher in the supernatant of Cytopore 2 than in that of Cultispher S on days 10, 11, and 12 (P<0.05), and the urea level in the supernatant of cytopore 2 was also significantly higher on days 10 and 11 (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The cells cultured on Cytopore 2, though with a smaller cell number, display better functions than those cultured on Cultispher S under RCCS conditions.

Perfusion culture-induced template-assisted assembling of cell-laden microcarriers is a promising route for fabricating macrotissues.

Mass transfer limitation in conventional top-down tissue engineering makes it impossible to fabricate large size viable tissue replacements. In the present study, we aimed at performing a systemic investigation of the assembling process in perfusion culture for fabricating centimeter-scale macrotissues from cell-laden microcarriers following a bottom-up modular approach. Cells (human fibroblasts, human mesenchymal stem cells, or HepG2 cells) were seeded onto microcarriers (Cytopore-2 or CultiSpher S) in spinner flasks and cultured for 14 days and subsequently transferred to a perfusion chamber for assembling.

The extensive use of mesenchymal stem cells (MCS) in tissue engineering and cell therapy increases the necessity to improve their expansion. Among these, porcine MCS are valuable models for tissue engineering and are classically expanded in static T-flasks. In this work, different processes of stirred cultures were evaluated and compared.

Efficient metabolism of fatty acids during anaerobic waste digestion requires development of consortia that include "fatty acid consuming H(2) producing bacteria" and methanogenic bacteria. The objective of this research was to optimize methanogenesis from fatty acids by evaluating a variety of support matrices for use in maintaining efficient syntrophic-methanogenic consortia. Tested matrices included clays (montmorillonite and bentonite), glass beads (106 and 425-600mum), microcarriers (cytopore, cytodex, cytoline, and cultispher; conventionally employed for cultivation of mammalian cell lines), BioSep beads (powdered activated carbon), and membranes (hydrophilic; nylon, polysulfone, and hydrophobic; teflon, polypropylene).

The purpose of the study was to investigate the rabies virus multiplication in Vero cell cultures performed on porous microcarriers, MCs (cellulose-Cytopore and gelatin-Cultispher G), which provide higher available surface area compared with solid (nonporous) MCs (DEAE-Cytodex 1). In a set of experiments performed at the same MC concentration (MCs per milliliter), cell densities regularly obtained in porous MC cultures were comparable, but almost twice as high as those in solid MC cultures. In addition, 41.
