Stem cell bioprocessing describes the main large-scale bioprocessing strategies for both stem cell culture and purification. It envisages the application of these cells for regenerative medicine and drug screening.

Chapters describe bioreactor configurations and stem cell separation techniques and provide basic definitions and main characteristics of the different types of stem cells, alongside the molecular mechanisms underlying their self-renewal and differentiation. The book also focuses on methodologies currently used for in vitro stem cell culture under static conditions including the challenge of xeno-free stem cell culture. Final chapters present approaches for stem cell culture and separation in micro-scale conditions, with a separate section dedicated to the application of stem cells for regenerative medicine.
