Our researcher, Dr. Torizal achieved the highest cell density in iPS proliferation using dialysis operation and it was published in “Communication Biology” as of Nov 19, 2021 (*). UTokyo Eng School dispatched press release (Japanese) and the contents were introduced by several newspapers and webnews sites. Using dialysis operation, we successfully reduced the culture cost, which is mostly decided by the exogenous growth factors, to 1/8 through full utilization of both exogeneous and endogenous (self-secreted) growth factors.
