Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) has demonstrated a new application for its cell-expansion bioreactor to advance tissue engineering and cell-based therapies for treatment of injuries and diseases.

Southwest Research Institute demonstrated its single-use 3D bioreactor to produce induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs), derived from adult skin, blood, and other somatic cells. Useful for ...

Cell culture-produced adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors have gained momentum as one of the most effective gene and protein delivery tools and are an integral part of both vaccine production and ...

To test their setup, researchers allowed algae cells to stick to the surface of the photobioreactor. When they applied a voltage, the bubbles separated the cells from the surfaces without harming them ...

The university plays a vital role in addressing social challenges and improving quality of life. Its success is built on five dynamic institutes specializing in chemistry and biotechnology, food and ...

What do cells want to be when they grow up, and how do they get there? Intrigued by these questions, many developmental biologists try to follow the journeys of cells from when they can virtually ...

Aging, neurological diseases and our bodies' stress response are all linked to the tiny power plants inside each cell known as mitochondria. To function properly, mitochondria must first read ...

A new study from Aarhus University shows that our cells' ability to clean out old protein clumps, known as aggregates, also includes a—up till now unknown—partnership with an engine that breaks down ...

Bioreactors are relevant in the biotechnological, pharmaceutical, and industrial microbiological world because they facilitate biological reactions that are so controlled. These customized vessels are ...

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is an inevitable product of microbial and animal-cell metabolism and thus is always present in aerobic bioprocesses. CO 2 results from catabolic reactions and is required for ...
