A method for culturing placental potential cell is provided, comprising steps of: (1) obtaining placental cells and/or tissue under aseptic condition; (2) inoculating the placental cells and/or the tissue in a culture medium for culturing, adding cell growth regulators to the culture medium, in such a manner that the placental potential cells grows to make the placental cells and/or the tissue into a proliferative state; (3) culturing the placental potential cells to make the placental potential cells proliferate continuously into cells with characteristics of stem cells. The present invention not only finds the source of human tissues, organs and the continuation of their function, i.e., regenerative potential cells; but also finds a medical and health longevity method, but also finds out the life materials to maintain and support the potential cells, so as to replace drugs with the living material.

Disclosed are compositions and methods for the preservation, storage, and transport of living biological tissues, organs, and populations of isolated cells. In particular, the disclosed compositions and processes permit mammalian cells, tissues, and organs to be harvested from suitable donor animals, stored for prolonged periods, and transported to the site of recipient implantation, all without significant loss of cell viability, biological activity, and/or tissue integrity.

A method of making a flowable, dried agglomerated nutrient medium is provided. The method comprises introducing a nutrient component comprising a powdered nutrient, and an agglomeration liquid, into an agglomerator comprising a flow-through-type agglomeration chamber, wet-massing the nutrient component with the agglomeration liquid in the agglomeration chamber for a predetermined period of time to form agglomerated nutrient medium particles, and exposing the agglomerated nutrient medium particles to drying conditions for a period of time to form the dried, agglomerated nutrient medium. The nutrient component facilitates the growth of a microorganism. Compositions, articles, and kits comprising the flowable, dried agglomerated nutrient medium are also provided.

Methods of improving recombinant protein titer and cell titer in cell culture using cell culture media having reduced impurities are provided, and well as cell culture media having reduced impurities that can used for the production of a recombinant protein and cells with improved titer. The cell culture media having reduced impurities comprises a HEPES buffer, and the reduced impurities are HEPES related impurities. In certain aspects, methods and media improve protein titer, cell growth, and/or viable cell density.

This disclosure relates to growth media and environments for in vitro culturing of cells that produce or are capable of producing antibodies. In certain embodiments, the media comprises IL-6, fibronectin, and typically a saccharide. In certain embodiments, the disclosure contemplates cell culture compositions comprising IL-6 and fibronectin that are derived from proteins secreted from mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs). In certain embodiments, the disclosure contemplates enclosures comprising culture compositions disclosed herein that are in ambient air or optionally in an environment wherein oxygen is absent or at a low concentration.

Provided herein are methods of producing a recombinant protein that include fed-batch culturing a mammalian cell.

A method for culturing primary cells of gastric cancer and gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma and auxiliary reagents. A method for culturing primary cells of gastric cancer and gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma and auxiliary reagents. The core of the technology is that: (1) the solid tumor tissues of gastric cancer and gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma are treated with a mild cell dissociation reagent, and the primary tumor cells of gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma in a bile sample are isolated by a mild method to ensure the vitality of cancer cells to the greatest extent; (2) a special serum-free medium is prepared, and tumor cells of gastric cancer and gallbladder cancer and cholangiocarcinoma are cultured in vitro by a suspension culture system to eliminate the interference of normal cells to the greatest extent while ensuring normal amplification of cancer cells.

Methods for increasing a proportion of CD56 positive cells in sampled skeletal muscle tissue include soaking the sampled skeletal muscle tissue in a preservation solution.
