Various processes for the treatment of microbe suspensions and associated compositions thereof are described.

The present disclosure relates to the technical field of microorganisms, in particular to Lactobacillus gasseri HMV18 and an exocrine protein and an application thereof. The Lactobacillus gasseri HMV18 is preserved in the China Center for Type Culture Collection on Jul. 11, 2019 with a preservation number of CCTCC NO: M 2019538, and a preservation address of Wuhan University, Wuhan, China. The protein extracted from the Lactobacillus gasseri HMV18 has antibacterial and anti-tumor effects, but basically has no effect on normal myocardial cells, so the Lactobacillus gasseri HMV18 can be applied to preparation of antibacterial and anti-tumor products.

The present invention relates to cell culture media comprising alpha keto acids. The poor solubility of some amino acids like isoleucine, leucine and valine can be overcome by substituting them with the respective alpha keto acid.

Cell culture media are provided herein as are methods of using the media for cell culture and protein production from cells.

An object of the present invention is to provide human fatty-liver model cells showing symptoms of the hepatic tissue of fatty liver. The present invention relates to human fatty-liver model cells, which are produced by culturing human hepatocytes derived from fatty liver in a medium containing dimethyl sulfoxide.

The preset disclosure provides methods of culturing TILs in a medium comprising at least about 30 mM to at least about 100 mM potassium ion. In some aspects, the methods disclosed herein enhance expansion of CD8.sup.+ TILs, relative to CD4.sup.+ TILs. In some aspects, the methods further increase the number of less-differentiated cells, e.g., less-differentiated TILs, in the population of cells. In some aspects, the methods disclosed herein enrich for tumor-reactive, e.g., tumor specific, TILs such that clonal diversity is preserved. In some aspects, the cells, e.g., the TILs, are administered to a subject in need thereof.

Gellan gum-based hydrogels are disclosed herein for in vitro cell culture and tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. Such gellan gum-based hydrogels may be used alone or combined with live cells and/or biomolecules for application in humans and/or animals. Chemical modification of gellan gum with selected ion-chelating substituents affords novel gellan gum hydrogels endowed with tunable physicochemical and biological properties. The modified gellan gum hydrogels described herein present advantages over existing hydrogel systems, including solubility, ionic crosslinking versatility, ease of formulation and injectability and greater adhesiveness within biological tissues and surfaces, whilst maintaining encapsulated cells viable during long culture periods and up-regulating the expression of healthy extracellular matrix markers.

Disclosed herein are compositions, systems, and methods for modulating proliferation, differentiation and pluripotency of cells.

Provided are a composition containing (−)-Blebbistain and/or para-Blebbistain, a kit comprising the composition, and a cardiomyocyte culture method using the composition as a culture medium. Also provided is a use of (−)-Blebbistain and/or para-Blebbistain in preparation of a cardiomyocyte isolation reagent or cardiomyocyte culture reagent.

The invention relates to solid medium for producing glucosamine, including a substrate and 0.15-4.8 mL/g substrate of supplemental solution, which includes 0.1-2 g/L KH.sub.2PO.sub.4, 0.1-2 g/L NaCl, and 0.1-2 g/L MgSO.sub.4.7H.sub.2O. The invention also relates to a method for producing glucosamine, including providing microorganism being able to produce glucosamine, and fermenting the microorganism in the medium mentioned above.
