Trends Biotechnol 2024:S0167-7799(24)00001-5. [PMID: 38320911 DOI: 10.1016/j.tibtech.2024.01.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024]
Abstract
Microcarrier expansion systems show exciting potential to revolutionise mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-based clinical therapies by providing an opportunity for economical large-scale expansion of donor- and patient-derived cells. The poor reproducibility and efficiency of cell expansion on commercial polystyrene microcarriers have driven the development of novel microcarriers with tuneable physical, mechanical, and cell-instructive properties. These new microcarriers show innovation toward improving cell expansion outcomes, although their limited biological characterisation and compatibility with dynamic culture systems suggest the need to realign the microcarrier design pathway. Clear headway has been made toward developing infrastructure necessary for scaling up these technologies; however, key challenges remain in characterising the wholistic effects of microcarrier properties on the biological fate and function of expanded MSCs.

Abstract
The modulation of cells in tissue formation is still one of the hardest tasks to achieve in Tissue Engineering. To control the cell response when undergoing their normal functions such as adhesion, differentiation, assembly, or maturation is vital the development of more successful solutions. Herein, we discuss how microparticles are being overlooked in their potential for controlling the cellular response. Until now, their role was quite often restricted to a reservoir of chemical compounds or as carriers for cell expansion. Nevertheless, microparticles design with the introduction of biophysical and biochemical cues can effectively modulate cell response.
