University: is an institution of higher education and research which awards academic degrees. Universities typically provide undergraduate education and postgraduate education.
DATE: July 13, 2017TIME: 9:00am PT, 12:00pm ETAlmost 1.5 million Americans are diagnosed with diabetes every year. In 2012 alone, close to 10% of the population has diab...
In the last years, progress has been made regarding the differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells into neural stem cells and astrocytes, growing into neurospheres and cerebral organoids...
The availability of well-characterised monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) detecting cell-surface epitopes on human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) provides useful research tools to investigate the c...
Research on human brain development and neurological diseases is limited by the lack of advanced experimental in vitro models that truly recapitulate the complexity of the human brain. Here, ...
Diabetes is a debilitating chronic disease that is spirally out of control. Fundamentally, the progressive failure of pancreatic beta cells results in decreased insulin secretion, ultimately ...
Mitochondrial defects represent a common pathogenetic mechanism associated with neurodegeneration. At the same time, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations frequently cause neurological diseases...
Therapeutic application of pluripotent stem (PS) cell-derived products represents the ultimate goal of stem cell research. In order to apply this technology to patients, it is fundamental to ...
The human inner ear contains ~75,000 sensory hair cells that detect sound or movement via mechanosensitive hair bundles and transmit signals to the brain via specialized sensory neurons. Inne...
Bioflavonoids are dietary agents found in everyday food items such as fruits, vegetables, and legumes. It has been suggested that bioflavonoids be used with chemotherapeutics as an anti-cance...
Current methods for human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) derivation, expansion and differentiation can be limited in scalability and costly (due to their labor intensive nature). This...
The continuous generation of blood cells throughout life relies on the existence of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) generated during embryogenesis. Given the importance of HSC transplantation...
Ductal cells share several markers with pancreatic embryonic progenitors, suggesting that ductal cells could be the closest lineage to an adult progenitor in the pancreas, thus their stem-lik...
Pluripotent stem cell (PSC) culture at commercial scale requires a shift from the current manual processing methods and costly materials to deliver affordable differentiated cell products in...
Cardiomyocytes (CMs) derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) as well as engineered heart muscles offer great potential for regenerative applications by CM transplantation, f...
Regenerative medicine therapeutics aimed at restoring normal cell function due to trauma and disease are gaining increasing momentum in clinical trials. For this purpose, lentivirus-based gen...
The identity of somatic and pluripotent cells can be epigenetically reprogrammed and forced to adapt a new functional cell state by different methods and distinct combinations of exogenous fa...
Since 1993, Gibco™ B-27™ Supplement and Neurobasal™ Medium has been the trusted standard for a variety of neuronal culture applications, with citations in more than 11,000 p...
As reprogramming methodologies have become more reliable and efficient, corresponding improvements were needed in the characterization workflow as well; specifically in terms of the speed, ef...
The development of the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing platform enables the rapid generation of new genetically modified stem cell models of human diseases, as well as providing new potential therap...
For many decades, cell lines have been cultured in standard CO2 incubators at “normal” atmospheric oxygen concentrations of about 21%. But oxygen concentrations in the human or an...
Finding a job is a daunting and stressful process. Although technology has made the job find and application process much easier – but it also brings new challenges with how to manage t...
For optimal use of human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) it is essential to identify lines that are fully reprogrammed and of high quality with proven pluripotency in terms of differe...
