PG - 113-125 LID - 10.1007/7651_2021_425 [doi] AB - Mesenchymal stem cells show great potential in tissue engineering and cell-based therapies. This protocol demonstrates the use of 3D TableTrix((R)) microcarrier tablets for large-scale manufacturing of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) in a 5-L stirred tank bioreactor. 3D TableTrix((R)) microcarrier tablets readily disperse into tens of thousands of porous microcarriers to simplify cell seeding, and 3D FloTrix((R)) vivaSPIN bioreactor could automate, monitor, and control the entire culture process. 3D TableTrix((R)) microcarriers could also be fully dissolved upon adding dissolution reagent to gently harvest the expanded cells at a high recovery rate. With this protocol, more than 10(9) cells could be produced in a 5-L bioreactor. CI - (c) 2021. Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
