The study of human intestinal physiology and host-microbe interactions is crucial for understanding gastrointestinal health and disease. Traditional two-dimensional cell culture models lack the complexity of the native intestinal environment, limiting their utility in studying intestinal biology. Here, we present a detailed protocol for the set up and utilization of a three-dimensional (3D) in vitro bioreactor system for human intestinal studies and bacterial co-culture.

Background: Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) obtained from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have shown cardioprotective efficacy in doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity (DIC). However, their clinical application is limited due to the low yield and high consumption. This study aims to achieve large-scale production of sEVs using a three-dimensional (3D) bioreactor system.

Studies of the effects of external stimuli on bone tissue, disease transmission mechanisms, and potential medication discoveries benefit from long-term tissue viability ex vivo. By simulating the in-vivo environment, bioreactors are essential for studying bone cellular activity throughout biological processes. We present the development of an automated 3D-printed bioreactor EnduroBone designed to sustain the ex-vivo viability of 10 mm diameter cancellous bone cores for an extended period.

Purpose: 3D cell culture and hypoxia have been demonstrated to increase the therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). In this study, a process for the production of MSC-EVs in a novel 3D bioreactor system under normoxic and hypoxic conditions was established and the resulting EVs were characterized.
Methods: Human adipose-derived MSCs were seeded and cultured on a 3D membrane in the VITVO® bioreactor system for 7 days.

Neural injuries disrupt the normal functions of the nervous system, whose complexities limit current treatment options. Because of their enhanced therapeutic effects, neurospheres have the potential to advance the field of regenerative medicine and neural tissue engineering. Methodological steps can pose challenges for implementing neurosphere assemblies; for example, conventional static cultures hinder yield and throughput, while the presence of the necrotic core, time-consuming methodology, and high variability can slow their progression to clinical application.
