“…Although special medium formulations have been developed to reduce cell clumping (Han et al, ; Peshwa, Kyung, McClure, & Hu, ; Tolbert, Hitt, & Feder, ; Zanghi, Renner, Bailey, & Fussenegger, ), aggregation continues to be a challenge for mammalian suspension cell culture, especially at the high cell densities required for fast, high‐yield protein production (Liu & Goudar, ). Exogenous addition of anticlumping agents also introduces additional molecules that must be purified away from secreted protein products (Dee, Shuler, & Wood, ; L. Li et al, ; Park, Lim, Woo, Kim, & Lee, ; Tsao, Condon, Schaefer, Lio, & Liu, ). An alternative strategy would be to genetically engineer production cells to have reduced adhesion, but few approaches have been developed at the current time.…”
