This invention relates to live cell constructs for in vitro and/or ex vivo production of cultured milk products from mammary cells, methods of producing isolated cultured milk products from mammary cells, bioreactors for producing isolated cultured milk products, and cultured milk products.

Disclosed is a microcapsule which is used in tissue regeneration, which may be specifically directed to the damaged tissues, and which forms an extracellular matrix-like structure at a certain point and thus allows cell proliferation, and to the production method of such microcapsule.

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for the delivery of immune cells to treat un-resectable or non-resected tumor cells and tumor relapse. The compositions comprise (i) a structure comprising an injectable polymer or scaffold comprising pores; (ii) lymphocytes disposed within the structure, (iii) at least one lymphocyte-adhesion moiety associated with the structure; and (iv) at least one lymphocyte-activating moiety associated with the structure, and optionally an immune stimulant.

An oral dissolving film containing nano- or micro-encapsulated bioactive material and methods of forming the film. The film may be prepared by dispensing a mixture of a film-forming agent, a crosslinking agent, a solution of nano- or micro-encapsulated bioactive material, and a photoinitiator into a plurality of wells in a tray using a 3D printer. The dispensed material is exposed to radiation in order to crosslink the material and form a film.

The present disclosure relates to cultured adipose tissue. In one embodiment, the cultured adipose tissue is produced by culturing adipose cells in a culture media in vitro, harvesting the adipose cells after a desired amount of adipose cells are produced, and aggregating the harvested adipose cells to provide the cultured adipose tissue. In some embodiments, aggregating the harvested adipose cells comprises mixing the harvested adipose cells with a hydrogel or binder in a three-dimensional (3D) mold. In other embodiments, aggregating the harvested adipose cells comprises cross-linking the harvested adipose cells in a 3D mold. The cultured adipose tissue have a defined 3D shape and a size on the macroscale. In some embodiments, the cultured adipose tissue may be a food product.

Described herein is a method for encapsulating single cells using alternating current electrospray technology in tip streaming mode. The encapsulation efficiency is over 80% and natural (alginate, collagen) and synthetic (NorHA) hydrogels and various cell types can be used. The encapsulated cells can be implanted and are protected from the host's immune response. In addition, the coating allows better tissue growth in laboratory cell cultures with a conformal mechanical support that allows molecular and nutrient transport.

Provided is a method for the selective differentiation into M1 macrophages under a pressurized environment, and more particularly, a method for the selective differentiation of undifferentiated macrophages into M1 macrophages, the method including incubating the undifferentiated macrophages in an incubator under the pressurized environment. In addition, provided is a method for producing osteoclasts, the method including: incubating undifferentiated macrophages in an incubator under a pressurized environment to differentiate into M1 macrophages; and differentiating the differentiated M1 macrophages into osteoclasts.

The present invention is directed to the use of microfluidics in the preparation of cells and compositions for therapeutic uses.

Described herein are oral delivery systems for use in delivering live mammalian cells to the intestinal tract of an individual.

The invention relates to a process for preparing cellular microcompartments comprising a hydrogel capsule surrounding a cluster of lymphomatous cells. The invention also relates to such a cellular microcompartment and the use thereof for screening anti-cancer molecules.
