The importance of MSC characterization
Characterization of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is vital for their successful application in regenerative medicine. These multipotent cells can differentiate into several cell types, making them a promising therapeutic option for various diseases. In our blog post, we discuss the importance of MSC characterization in ensuring standardized and reproducible cell isolation,…

From biopsy to assay development
Struggling to get high quality biopsies? Isolating patient-derived cancer cells from different types of biopsies (bone marrow biopsy, core needle biopsy, endoscopic biopsy, etc.) is the golden standard for cancer research. However, obtaining regular surgical biopsies from patients is a challenging prospect. Additionally, the variability of the quality of tissue samples can be pretty high….

3D cancer model
De-skilling 3D tumor models Tissue-engineered 3D cancer models have grown in popularity with recent advances in cancer research. 3D models are more biomimetic than 2D cell monolayers cultured on tissue culture plastic. Examples are spheroids, tumorspheres, organoids, PDX and lately, tumoroids, which differ by origin (cell line or patient-derived), size, the complexity of cellular architecture and tumor environment….

Tumor microenvironment
The role of CSCs and the TME Cellular interactions in the tumor microenvironment (TME) significantly influence cancer progression and drug response. The efficacy of immunotherapies has triggered increased interest in the tumor immune microenvironment. Therefore, robust experimental systems are needed to enable researchers to model patient-specific interactions between tumor cells and immune cells….

Stem cell therapy scientist: Finding inspiration outside his comfort zone
Crossing the border between medical and biomechanical research fuels the research of stem cell specialist Dr. Diego Correa. We talked to the Colombian-born stem cell scientist, a former clinician with training in mechanical engineering, about his studies with mesenchymal stem cells and their potential clinical applications in cell-based therapy. Soon Correa is going to publish what he believes will be his most important contribution to this field….

Why you should know your human mesenchymal stem cells inside out
Doctors, and patients with chronic diseases, are putting hope into new findings in regenerative medicine that are based on mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) research. As promising as some published results sound, they might be not reproducible – simply due to insufficient authentication and poor handling of cell cultures. Rigorous validation of cell identity is crucial for working with human mesenchymal stem cells – and,…

Cancer stem cell selection
Advance cancer stem cell culture Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are a specific and small subpopulation of tumor cells. Despite their low number, they drive tumor initiation, influence tumor progression, and cause metastasis and relapse. Increased cancer stem cell populations have been shown to reflect the aggressiveness and therapy-resistant phenotype of the tumor….
