Modulation of the cardiomyocyte contraction inside a hydrostatic pressure bioreactor: $\textit{in vitro}$ verification of the Frank-Starling law [PDF]
We have studied beating mouse cardiac syncytia $\textit{in vitro}$ in order to assess the inotropic, ergotropic, and chronotropic effects of both increasing and decreasing hydrostatic pressures. In particular, we have performed an image processing analysis to evaluate the kinematics and the dynamics of those pressure-loaded beating syncytia starting ...

Hepatocyte Aggregates: Methods of Preparation in the Microgravity Simulating Bioreactor Use in Tissue Engineering [PDF]
Tissue Engineering concerns the three-dimensional cell growth so that bio-artificial tissues could be created and used for transplantation. The recently expressed concerns from the Tissue Engineering research community for a re-direction of the research activities necessitate the proposition of new methodologies. We propose a methodology that has to do

Data-driven and Physics Informed Modelling of Chinese Hamster Ovary Cell Bioreactors [PDF]
Fed-batch culture is an established operation mode for the production of biologics using mammalian cell cultures. Quantitative modeling integrates both kinetics for some key reaction steps and optimization-driven metabolic flux allocation, using flux balance analysis; this is known to lead to certain mathematical inconsistencies.

Developing Quorum Sensing‐Based Collaborative Dynamic Control System in Halomonas TD01
A standardized and streamlined inducer‐free quorum sensing (QS)‐based collaborative dynamic control pattern is developed for sufficient gene expression control in Halomonas TD by mixing two engineered cells, cells A and B. Proof‐of‐concept studies are designed to test the dynamic control performance in mixed cultures in fed‐batch conditions.
