The present invention relates to new serum- and protein-free culture media. These media are high performance culture media, which notably improve mammalian fed-batch cultures. The present invention also relates to methods for preparing and/or designing the medium, and methods of use thereof.
摘要:
The present invention can be used for actual implantation surgery without a scaffold. The present invention provides a synthetic tissue or complex which can be produced by culture and has a high level of differentiation ability. The present invention also provides a therapy and medicament for repairing and/or regenerating tissue using replacement and covering. By culturing cells under specific culture conditions such that medium contains an extracellular matrix synthesis promoting agent, the cells are organized and are easily detached from a culture dish. The present invention was achieved by finding such a phenomenon. In addition, the self contraction of the tissue can be regulated by culturing the tissue in a suspended manner. Therefore, it is possible to regulate the three-dimensional shape of the tissue. The present invention also provides a method for producing an implantable synthetic tissue which does not require a plurality of monolayer cell sheets assembled to form a three-dimensionally structured synthetic tissue. The present invention is characterized by richness in adhesion molecules, nonnecessity of additional fixation at an implantation site, and good biological integration.
摘要:
The invention provides a chemically defined cell culture media and methods of using the media. The invention also provides an inverse screen to identify small molecules and synergies stimulating proliferation in a chemically defined medium. In this chemical-genetics approach, a compound-protein interaction data-base is used to systematically score genetic targets on a screen-wide scale to extract further information about cell growth. Validated factors were investigated for their ability to maintain cell growth over multiple passages in the chemically defined medium (CDM). Polyamines were identified as important components that enables the CDM to support the long-term maintenance of C1.8 cells and Kc cells (such as Kc167 cells). Our cumulative target scoring approach improves on traditional chemical-genetics methods and is extensible to biological processes in other species.

摘要:
A culture method for pluripotent stem cells includes obtaining a polypeptide-coated culture surface by applying a polypeptide to a cell culture surface of a support, and culturing pluripotent stem cells by seeding the pluripotent stem cells onto the polypeptide-coated culture surface by using a medium in which the content of an ascorbic acid derivative is equal to or greater than 1.5 mmol/L (mM), in which the polypeptide is (a) a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1, (b) a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence, which shares identity of equal to or higher than 80% with the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1, and having culture performance for pluripotent stem cells, or (c) a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence, which is formed by the deletion, substitution, or addition of one amino acid or several amino acids in SEQ ID NO: 1, and having culture performance for pluripotent stem cells.

摘要:
Compositions and methods are described for preparing media, feeds, and supplements. Such methods and medias may display increased stability of labile components and may use, for example, microsuspension and/or encapsulation technologies, chelation, and optionally, coating and/or mixing the labile compounds with anti-oxidants. The compositions may withstand thermal and/or irradiation treatment and have reduced virus number. These techniques may result in product with extended shelf-life, extended release of their internal components into culture, or in product that can be added aseptically into a bioreactor using minimal volumes. The compositions and methods may optimize the bioproduction workflow and increase efficiency.

摘要:
Provided is a method for producing mesenchymal stem cells from human pluripotent stem cells, the method including: a) forming embryonic bodies from human pluripotent stem cells; b) attaching the embryonic bodies to a culture dish to induce natural differentiation of the embryonic bodies into mesenchymal stem cells; and c) performing continuous proliferative culturing of the mesenchymal stem cells while still maintaining the identity of the mesenchymal stem cells. Also, provided is a standardized method for inducing differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells, which can be broadly applied to all human pluripotent stem cells regardless of a difference in the genetic background thereof. Ultimately, the present invention can continuously mass-produces the mesenchymal stem cells necessary for regenerative medicine and cell therapy by using human pluripotent stem cells, thereby realizing practical uses of cell therapy products, and further the present invention is expected to highly contribute to treatments of incurable diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases and neurological disorders.
