Cell Culture Engineering XV

Continuous Processing is an exciting development in the field of bioprocessing. The potential for quick response to market demands, decrease in infrastructure, increased flexibility and consistent product quality has resulted in a growing interest in Continuous Processing for production of all types of protein drugs (high or low volume, stable or unstable). Sanofi is developing a novel Integrated Continuous Manufacturing platform for biologics that utilizes an upstream perfusion process. While cell culture perfusion processes offer substantial benefits for commercial biologics production, implementation may present challenges in early development, where speed to first in man studies is critical. Here we present …


Integrated Strategies For The Production, Maturation And Storage Of Functional Cardiomyocytes Derived From Human Pluripotent Stem Cells, Claudia Correia, Paula Alves May 2016

Integrated Strategies For The Production, Maturation And Storage Of Functional Cardiomyocytes Derived From Human Pluripotent Stem Cells, Claudia Correia, Paula Alves

Cell Culture Engineering XV

The production of cardiomyocytes (CM) from human pluripotent stem cells (hPSC) holds great promise for cardiotoxicity drug testing, disease modeling and cardiac regeneration [1]. However, the complex nets of signalling pathways involved in cardiomyogenesis compromises the effectiveness of the existing differentiation protocols to reproducibly produce high-quality CM from hPSC (hPSC-CM). Produced hPSC-CM are immature compared with adult CMs, express typical fetal cardiac genes, have immature electrophysiological properties and use glucose as major energy source [2]. The applicability of hPSC-CM in the clinic/industry is also dependent on the development of efficient methods for worldwide shipment of these cells. In this study …
