Cell culture automation: Automated cultivation of induced pluripotent stem cells
Abstract
The groundbreaking discovery that pluripotency can be induced in somatic cells opened new fields in sciences. Generation of patient- and disease-specific cell lines for drug screening and medical research is in reach. However, the numerous possibilities are limited by the amount of cells needed, that cannot be supplied by state-of-the-art cultivation techniques. New approaches for cell culture automation are wanted, mapping the requirements for this interesting, yet sophisticated cell type.
