Editorial: Advanced cell culture technologies to boost cell-based therapies.

Approved cells and cellular products for cell-based therapy (CBT) applications carry a huge promise for the treatment of a broad variety of diseases and several (stem) cell therapies. However, the therapeutic potential of cells is not fully exploited at present. On the one hand, outdated culture conditions are still used during in vitro cultivation. On the other hand, technological hurdles block the way to efficient and safe cell-based therapy products. This Research Topic gathered articles about recent advances in cell culture technologies to increase the therapeutic properties of cells or the manufacturing processes for CBT.
