A cell-culturing technique developed by KAUST scientists helps to create biological conditions that more closely mirror physiological environments compared to standard protocols used in most laboratories today.

The new bioreactor system delivers gases — rather than chemicals — to keep acidity levels and oxygen exchange kinetics within body-like ranges, an approach that allows for more careful control of environmental parameters.

It is also more responsive to the metabolic activity of cells and more representative of what happens inside living organisms. If widely adopted, the platform could lead to more accurate, interpretable and reproducible experiments in biomedical research.
