Biomedical and pharmaceutical in vitro research makes extensive use of cell culture techniques. Basal media, supplements, and other additives are required in cell culture. Some highly bioactive chemicals discovered in marine resources are thought to be produced by microalgae. The most investigated cyanobacterium species for biomedical and pharmacological uses is Spirulina (Arthrospira). Spirulina contains antioxidants, vitamins,minerals,proteins, carotenoids,essential fatty acids, andphycobiliprotein. Spirulina can boost immunological response, improve stem cell migration, and maintain the viability and stemness of stem cells. The purpose of this mini-review was to assess the potential benefits of Spirulina on cell culture. This study is a review of the literature collected from the search engine Google Scholar and PubMed Electronic Database with the keywords: "spirulina", "cell*", "proliferat*", and "culture". Spirulina can increase cell growth and proliferation, as an alternative to fetal bovine serum (FBS), support the healing of wounds, and scaffold. Spirulina is asupplement in cell culture and a promising ingredient that has the potential for use in biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
