The present invention relates to a novel bioreactor system for cell cultivation. More specifically, the invention relates to a compact bioreactor system which has several integrated functions and enables small scale static culture as well as scale-up rocking culture in the same bioreactor. The bioreactor system comprises tray for positioning of a cell culture bag having adjustable volume, a lid covering the cell culture bag and provided with heating function, an integrated perfusion unit, an integrated cell loading unit, and an integrated unit for automatic cell culture sampling, wherein the bioreactor system is controlled by a single control unit. The invention also relates to a method of cell culture using the bioreactor system for culture of therapeutic cells.

The present disclosure relates to, at least, a vacuum-assisted method for infiltrating cadaver bone with a cryoprotectant and a method for rapidly warming the cryopreserved cadaver bone for bone marrow processing.

A method for producing natural killer cells is disclosed. The method comprises isolating peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a blood sample; isolating at least one of CD56+ cells and/or CD3−/CD56+ cells from the PBMCs; and co-culturing the at least one of CD56+ cells and/or CD3−/CD56+ cells with a combination of feeder cells in the presence of a cytokine. The method can further comprise freezing and thawing the CD56+ cells and/or CD3−/CD56+ cells. A composition for treating cancer is also disclosed. The composition comprises the CD56+ natural killer cells produced by the disclosed method and a cytokine.

The disclosure relates to the establishment of a cell line having immune tolerance property using an optimal temperature profiling technique under a human body-like environment, and use thereof. The stem cell line exhibits immune tolerance property as they consecutively secret and express HLA-G proteins, and the culture medium of the stem cells contains a large amount of proteins capable of recovering various physiological functions and extracellular vesicles, and thus, the novel cell line or a culture medium thereof can be effectively used in various industries such as medicines and cosmetics.

The invention provides a method for culturing mammalian cells. The method provides greater control over cell o growth to achieve high product titer cell cultures.

This disclosure relates to methods of preserving mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) for use in clinical applications. In certain embodiments, this disclosure relates to methods of preserving MSCs comprising mixing MSCs with interferon-gamma prior to cryopreserving, freezing, or cooling the MSCs to a temperature below zero degrees Celsius.

The present invention provides nucleic acids, vectors, host cells and methods for production of fructosyltransferase from Aspergillus japonicus. The invention represents an advancement in the field of genetic engineering and provides methods for obtaining high yield of a novel recombinant fructosyltransferase encoded by ft gene of Aspergillus japonicus as a secreted protein.

The present disclosure aims to provide a manufacturing method of a cell structure. The manufacturing method comprises producing a coated region in which a culturing surface is coated with a temperature-responsive polymer or a temperature-responsive polymer composition, forming a droplet of a cell suspension in the coated region, and performing cell culturing in the droplet. A surface zeta potential of the coated region is 0 mV to 50 mV.

The present invention provides a method for swiftly producing a layered cell sheet that is non-invasively obtained and is utilizable for transplantation, etc., the method including (1) a step of applying a centrifugal force to a first cell sheet on a temperature-responsive culture surface for a predetermined time in a temperature range from a lower critical solution temperature of the temperature-responsive culture surface to 45° C., (2) a step of further placing a second cell sheet on the first cell sheet, and (3) a step of applying a centrifugal force to the first cell sheet and the second cell sheet on the temperature-responsive culture surface for a predetermined time in the temperature range from the lower critical solution temperature to 45° C.; and also provides a layered cell sheet obtained by the method.
