Abstract

Tissue engineering and the manufacturing of regenerative medicine products demand strict control over the production process and product quality monitoring. In this chapter, the application of process systems engineering (PSE) approaches in the production of cell-based products has been discussed. Mechanistic, empirical, continuum and discrete models are compared and their use in describing cellular phenomena is reviewed. In addition, model-based optimization strategies employed in the field of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are discussed. An introduction to process control theory is given and the main applications of classical and advanced methods in cellular production processes are described. Finally, new nondestructive and noninvasive monitoring techniques have been reviewed, focusing on large-scale manufacturing systems for cell-based constructs and therapeutic products. The application of the PSE methodologies presented here offers a promising alternative to overcome the main challenges in manufacturing engineered tissue and regeneration products.
