AB  - A multidisciplinary approach based on experiments and mathematical modeling was used in biomimetic system development for three-dimensional (3D) cultures of cancer cells. Specifically, two cancer cell lines, human embryonic teratocarcinoma NT2/D1 and rat glioma C6, were immobilized in alginate microbeads and microfibers, respectively, and cultured under static and flow conditions in perfusion bioreactors. At the same time, chemical engineering methods were applied to explain the obtained results. The superficial medium velocity of 80 μm s-1 induced lower viability of NT2/D1 cells in superficial microbead zones, implying adverse effects of fluid shear stresses estimated as ∼67 mPa. On the contrary, similar velocity (100 μm s-1) enhanced the proliferation of C6 glioma cells within microfibers compared to static controls. An additional study of silver release from nanocomposite Ag/honey/alginate microfibers under perfusion indicated that the medium partially flows through the hydrogel (interstitial velocity of ∼10 nm s-1). Thus, a diffusion-advection-reaction model described the mass transport to immobilized cells within microfibers. Substances with diffusion coefficients of ∼10-9-10-11 m2 s-1 are sufficiently supplied by diffusion only, while those with significantly lower diffusivities (∼10-19 m2 s-1) require additional convective transport. The present study demonstrates the selection and contribution of chemical engineering methods in tumor model system development.

AB  - Osteosarcoma is the most common type of bone cancer, which affects both children and
adults. Treatment of osteosarcoma exhibits slow progress due to inadequacy of both in vivo
animal models and 2D in vitro models regularly used for antitumor drug testing. Our
approach is to create a physiologically relevant 3D in vitro model for osteosarcoma cell
cultivation, which has the potential to overcome inherent weaknesses of 2D in vitro and
animal models. In order to imitate native osteosarcoma microenvironment, macroporous
alginate scaffolds with incorporated hydroxyapatite/β-tricalcium phosphate (HAp/β-TCP)
powder were produced with two compositions: 1 wt% alginate, 1 wt% powder and 2 wt.%
alginate, 2 wt% powder. Bioactivity and stability of the scaffolds were investigated under
biomimetic conditions of continuous flow of the culture medium in perfusion bioreactor at
the superficial medium velocity of 400 µm/s, which was reported in literature to be
beneficial for osteogenesis. Scaffolds with the higher alginate concentration was shown to be
more stable in the culture medium, since the scaffolds with the lower alginate concentration
disintegrated after 5-7 days under flow conditions. Biocompatibility of the obtained scaffolds
was investigated in short-term cultivation studies of murine osteosarcoma cells K7M2-wt
seeded onto the scaffolds. The scaffolds were cultivated in perfusion bioreactors at the
superficial flow velocity of 15 µm/s, while static cultures served as a control. After
cultivation, osteosarcoma cells remained adhered to the scaffold surface, expressed
metabolic activity and retained their initial proliferation ability while the flow was shown to
positively affect the cultivated cells.

AB  - Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive malignant brain tumor in adults. Existing
treatment choices that include surgery, radiation and chemotherapy are not successful in
long-term survival, while development of new anticancer drugs is being held back by the
lack of adequate model systems for anticancer drug testing. Namely, in traditionally used
two-dimensional (2D) monolayer cancer cell cultures the native cell morphology, polarity
and interactions between both cells and cells and extracellular components are either
changed or absent, while studies on animals often produce misleading results due to
interspecies differences. Hence, there is a pressing need for new glioblastoma model systems
that provide more in vivo-like environment for investigation and development of new
anticancer drugs. The aim of this work was to develop a biomimetic 3D environment for
cultivation of glioblastoma cells based on alginate microfibers as cell carriers and perfusion
bioreactors. Previous studies have shown that static cultures of cervical cancer cells SiHa
immobilized in alginate microfibers may be diffusion limited while perfusion, which
enhanced mass transport, has induced negative effects on human embryonic teratocarcinoma
cells NTERA-2 in superficial zones of alginate microbeads by hydrodynamic shear stresses.
Thus, in the present study, the specific focus was on optimization of cell concentration
within microfibers and regimes of cultivation to achieve beneficial effects of fluid flow in
perfusion bioreactors. A series of experiments were conducted in which the concentration of
rat glioma cells C6 was varied between 2 and 8 × 10
6
cell cm
-3
at several flowrates and
regimens of static and perfusion culture periods. Mixed results were obtained implying that
efficient mass transport has a higher effect in microfiber cultures at lower cell concentrations
(i.e. ~2 × 10
6
cell cm
-3
). In specific, medium flow at the superficial velocity of 100 µm s
-1
induced considerable cell proliferation as compared to control static cultures, which
maintained the initial cell numbers. Mathematical modelling indicated that the convective
transport of substances with low diffusion coefficients (~10
-19 m
2
s
-1
) may have induced the
observed positive effects. Still, exact relations of cultivation conditions and cell responses in
terms of viability, proliferation and metabolic activity should be further investigated.

AB  - Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, making the search for its cure one of the most important challenges of the 21st century. With ethical questions regarding animal testing and inconsistency of results of cancer drug testing in standard two-dimensional (2D) monolayer cell cultures with the results in vivo, there is a pressing need for better in vitro models of human cancers that will provide more relevant systems for cancer drug screening. Three-dimensional (3D) in vitro systems based on natural polymers with immobilized cancer cells that mimic cancerous tissue and bioreactors that provide relevant chemical and physical signals could close the gap between 2D in vitro and in vivo cancer models. The aim of this study was to optimize culture conditions for the rat glioma cell line C6 immobilized in alginate microfibers in perfusion bioreactors in terms of cell density and perfusion rate. In this study we investigated following sets of parameters: perfusion rate of 0.12, 0.25 and 0.30 ml min-1 coupled with the cell density of 4∙106 cells ml-1 , and perfusion rate of 0.30 ml min-1 coupled with the cell density of 8∙106 cells ml-1 . Microfiber cultures under static conditions in Petri dishes served as controls. The results have shown that the perfusion rate of 0.30 ml min-1 in combination with the cell density of 8∙106 cells ml-1 yields higher cell viability and proliferation compared to the control static culture. These results indicate the importance of culture medium perfusion in the bioreactor for improved mass transfer of nutrients and oxygen to alginate microfibers so that the investigated system shows potentials for use as a model system in cancer research.

With ethical questions regarding animal testing and inconsistency of results of cancer drug testing in standard two-dimensional (2D) monolayer cell cultures with the results in vivo, there is a pressing need for better in vitro models of human cancers that will provide more relevant systems for cancer drug screening. Three-dimensional (3D) in vitro systems based on natural polymers with immobilized cancer cells that mimic cancerous tissue and bioreactors that provide relevant chemical and physical signals could close the gap between 2D in vitro and in vivo cancer models.

AB  - Cancer cell immobilization in polymer hydrogels serving as extracellular matrices and cultivation in perfusion bioreactors
that provide appropriate chemical signals, efficient mass transfer and hydrodynamic shear stresses is a promising strategy
for development of physiologically relevant tumor models. In this work, perfusion cultures of 2 cancer cell types (C6 rat
glioma and embryonal carcinoma NT2/D1 cells) immobilized in alginate microgels were established, while static cultures
served as controls. Continuous perfusion had different effects on the cultured cells inducing enhanced proliferation of the
glioma cells immobilized in microfibers (8x10^6 cell/ml), while reducing the viability of the NT2/D1 cells immobilized in
microbeads (1x10^6 cell/ml). In order to elucidate the observed effects, chemical engineering principles were applied to
assess mass transfer and hydrodynamic conditions. The second Fick’s law was solved analytically while the diffusionadvection-reaction equation was solved numerically to model mass transport in the static and bioreactor cultures,
respectively. Moreover, Reynolds numbers, pressure drops and shear stresses in bioreactor cultures were calculated for
assessment of flow regime and hydrodynamic conditions. The modeling results have indicated that oxygen transport is
diffusion-controlled through the alginate hydrogel, while medium perfusion improves mass transfer of larger compounds
having smaller diffusion coefficients (∼10^(-13) m^2/s), which possibly stimulated glioma cell proliferation. On the other
hand, the obtained shear stress (~50 mPa) in the perfused packed bed of microbeads was above physiological levels, which
provided the explanation of the poor NT2/D1 cell survival. This study stresses the importance of multidisciplinary approach
in addressing such multifactorial diseases as cancer.

AB  - The aim of this work was to develop a 3D microenvironment for glioblastoma brain tumor engineering based on alginate
hydrogels as a matrix for cell immobilization followed by cultivation in a biomimetic perfusion bioreactor. Alginate
microfibers with immobilized cells were obtained by a simple extrusion technique. We have examined the influence of the
needle diameter (22G - 28G), cell density in alginate solution (1 x 106 - 8 x 106 cells/ml) and different cancer cell lines (rat
C6 and human U251 and U87) on cell immobilization efficiency and viability. The best alginate microfibers (500 µm in
diameter) with all immobilized cells were obtained by applying a 25G needle with a minimal cell density of 4 x 106 cells/ml.
The obtained microfibers with immobilized cells (C6 and U87) were cultivated in a perfusion bioreactor at the continuous
medium flowrate in the range 0.05-0.30 ml/min over short- and long-term cultivation periods. The results have shown that
the flowrate of 0.30 ml/min, corresponding to the superficial velocity of 100 µm/s, in combination with the C6 cell density
of 8 x 106 cells/ml in short-term studies yielded higher cell viabilities and proliferation as compared to the control static
culture. In addition, U87 cells immobilized in alginate microfibers at the density of 4 x 106 cells/ml after long-term
cultivation at the medium flowrate of 0.05 ml/min (superficial velocity of 15 µm/s) stayed viable.
The overall results have shown potentials of the applied approach for tumor engineering provided optimization of
cultivation conditions for each cell type.

AB  - Bilayer scaffolds based on gellan gum (GG) and nanoparticulate bioactive-glass (BAG) were developed by an integrative
approach based on engineering principles and characterization in biomimetic bioreactors. The osteo-inductive GG-BAG
layer containing 2 % w/w GG and 2 % w/w BAG (composition: 70 n/n % SiO2, 30 n/n % CaO) was produced by gelation
followed by freeze-drying to obtain open porosity in axial and radial directions. The chondral layer was obtained by
dispensing a warm 2 % w/w GG solution at 60˚C over the frozen macroporous GG-BAG layer at -25˚C. The temperatures
were optimized by applying a one-dimensional unsteady-state heat transfer model so to obtain a thin integration zone, 0.5
– 1 mm thick. The scaffolds were evaluated regarding bioactivity in a biomimetic bioreactor with specially designed
chambers to provide supply of two media relevant for chondral and bone tissues. In the present experiment, simulated
body fluid (SBF) was supplied countercurrently continuously during 14 days of the experiment (1.1 ml min-1 flowrate), while
dynamic compression (5 % deformation, 0.68 Hz frequency, 337.5 µm s-1 loading rate, 1 h / day) was applied on the
chondral layer, from day 7 to day 14. SEM analyses have confirmed the retained integrity of the scaffolds, as well as
formation of hydroxyapatite (HAp) uniformly throughout the osteo-layer of the scaffolds.Significantly higher bioactivity
under biomimetic conditions compared to static controls resulted in slightly but significantly increased compression
modulus. These results indicated a high potential of the applied integrative strategy for the development of biomimetic
bilayer scaffolds.

bottom region with characteristics corresponding to bone tissue, such as a porous structure
with mineral components (predominantly hydroxyapatite), and a top region with
characteristics of articular cartilage, which is gelatinous with high water content. In this
work, we have investigated possibilities to formulate and optimize a procedure for obtaining
such biphasic scaffolds based on gellan gum (GG). A porous base layer of the scaffold was
obtained by lyophilization of the 2 % GG hydrogel with dispersed bioactive glass
nanoparticles, as hydroxyapatite precursors. Next, different procedures were investigated to
produce the upper GG hydrogel such as partial immersion of the porous layer in the GG
solution and pouring the GG solution over the porous layer at different moisture conditions
and temperatures. A simple mathematical model was derived and subsequently
experimentally validated to find optimal temperatures of the porous layer, GG solution and
the surrounding environment to provide adequate gelation rate to form the GG hydrogel on
top of the porous layer with a thin interfacial zone.

AB  - High temperature water gas shift (HT-WGS) is an important catalytic process connected with reforming process in hydrogen production. Ni/CeO2-Al2O3 (or Al2O3) catalysts were studied in this work on the effect of catalyst preparation method toward the physicochemical properties and the HT-WGS activity. Ni/CeO2-Al2O3 were prepared by sol-gel and impregnation methods whereas Ni/Al2O3 was prepared by impregnation method. The catalyst samples were characterized by XRD, H2-TPR and H2-TPD techniques. The catalytic activities of HT-WGS catalysts was demonstrated at 550°C, GHSV of 2x105 mLh-1gcat-1and steam-to-CO ratio of 3. Nickel was detected as a nickel aluminate phase in the calcined catalyst. Ni strongly interacted with support in the calcined catalyst prepared by sol-gel method. The strong metal-support interaction can be resisted by preparing catalyst via impregnation and CeO2 can promote the H2O dissociation in HT-WGS mechanism. The highest metal dispersion, largest metal surface area and greatest HT-WGS activity were consequently achieved by Ni/CeO2-Al2O3 prepared from impregnation method.
