MIT Engineers Solve Sticky-Cell Problem in Bioreactors
Overview: Tackling a universal bottleneck in cell-based production Bioreactors are central to modern manufacturing, from growing algae that aggressively absorb CO2 to producing biologic drugs and cell therapies. But a stubborn challenge—cells sticking to surfaces—limits performance across industries. This adhesion reduces light exposure in photobioreactors, disrupts harvesting, and triggers costly downtime for cleaning. A new…
