Stem Cell Researchers Commence Controlled Cultivation with DASGIP System

To raise cell numbers and ensure reproducable results more and more research groups have decided to work with controlled cultivation systems.

The Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering, University of Toronto (Canada) and at the Institute of Reconstructive Neurobiology, University of Bonn (Germany) are among them.

Therapies based on regenerative medicine require higher cell numbers of high quality.

First researchers and entrepreneurs, who were facing these new challenges, for example when heading for clinical trials, have decided to work with controlled cultivation systems to raise productivity and to get reproducable results. So do the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering, University of Toronto (Canada), and at the Institute of Reconstructive Neurobiology, University of Bonn (Germany), using the DASGIP system for their stem cell cultivation. Oliver Brüstle (Univ. Bonn) and Peter Zandstra (Univ. Toronto) have started to study physical conditions such as dissolved oxygen and sheer forces to find out further parameters that have an impact on cell growth and differentiation.
