review of the effects of shear and interfacial phenomena on cell viability
Abstract The shear sensitivity of animal and plant cells is a problem often encountered in large-scale cell culture. Such sensitivity varies with different cell lines and the severity of cellular damage may depend on both the magnitude and the duration of the shear stress. In a bioreactor, the shear...

Zusammenfassung: | Abstract
The shear sensitivity of animal and plant cells is a problem often encountered in large-scale cell culture. Such sensitivity varies with different cell lines and the severity of cellular damage may depend on both the magnitude and the duration of the shear stress. In a bioreactor, the shear susceptibility of cells depends on their response to hydrodynamic forces arising from fluid motions of particular scale. Cell damage may be induced by forces in the bulk liquid phase, but fluid motions associated with the gas-liquid interface are especially energetic. The detrimental effects of hydrodynamic forces are abated by the addition of some polymers, such as Pluronic F-68, methylcellulose, or serum; the exact mechanisms of protection are the subject of current research. |
