    摘要: The subject invention concerns materials and methods for growing and expanding MSC while maintaining their undifferentiated phenotype, self-renewal ability, and/or multi-lineage potential. In one embodiment, a method of the invention comprises i) seeding freshly isolated MSC on a planar surface or a 3-D scaffold and growing the cells under physiological or low O2 tension for a period of time sufficient to support formation of 3-D ECM network; ii) decellularizing the planar surface or 3-D scaffold; and iii) reseeding the decellularized planar surface or 3-D scaffold with MSCs, whereby the reseeded MSCs can be grown on the scaffold and maintain an undifferentiated phenotype. In one embodiment, the 3-D scaffold comprises or is composed of PET. In one embodiment, the MSC are human MSC (hMSC).

    摘要: The subject invention concern materials and methods for cryopreservation of HCG-cell constructs. In one embodiment, porous HCG scaffolds are provided in a perfusion bioreactor having perfusion chambers that can contain the HCG scaffolds, cells are then seeded in the HCG scaffolds in the perfusion bioreactor, cell culture media is perfused through and the bioreactor operated so as to allow for cell seeding and growth in the HCG scaffold. After a suitable period of time, the cell culture media is removed and the HCG containing cells (HCG-cell constructs) can be washed with a suitable buffer, such as phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The HCG-cell constructs are then perfused in the bioreactor with a suitable cryopreservation fluid. The cryopreservant can comprise one or more of the following: DMSO, trehalose, glycerol, ethylene glycol, and serum for cell culture (e.g., fetal bovine serum (FBS)). In one embodiment, the HCG-cell constructs are perfused for a suitable period of time with cryopreservant fluid using transverse flow of the fluid in the bioreactor at a suitable flow rate. The HCG-cell constructs (or the perfusion chambers containing them) are then removed from the bioreactor and placed in a cryopreservant media and maintained at increasingly colder temperatures until temperatures reach about −80° C. The frozen HCG-cell constructs (or the chambers containing them) can then be stored at a suitable cryogenic temperature (e.g., in liquid nitrogen) until needed. When needed, frozen HCG-cell constructs can be removed from cold storage and thawed using suitable means (e.g., 37° C. water bath). Cells contemplated for use in the present invention include stem cells, such mesenchymal stem cells. Cells can be animal cells, such as mammalian cells. In one embodiment, the cells are human cells.

    摘要: The subject invention concerns a perfusion bioreactor device and methods of using the same. A bioreactor device of the invention can be used to grow cells and tissue in a controlled in vitro environment. A perfusion bioreactor device of the invention can have multiple perfusion chambers that can be controlled individually. Transverse or parallel flow of a fluid can be provided to each chamber. Cells can be seeded on a hydrogel and/or 3D scaffold to provide a 3D environment in the bioreactor device where the cells can adhere, proliferate, migrate, secrete growth and/or differentiation factors, and/or undergo differentiation, etc. The subject invention also concerns hydrogels and 3D scaffolds that can be used to grow and/or differentiate cells thereon.
