Histocompatibility: Piecing together the immunotherapy puzzle
What do puzzles and immunity have in common? The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system of cell-surface proteins help to regulate the immune system. Yet particular antigens can make a crucial difference. Patients with certain HLA types are more likely to have autoimmune diseases, contract infectious disease or develop cancer. Now, through better understanding of HLA function,…

EXCiPACT™ GMP certified produced cell culture media
A crucial step when developing new drugs and cell therapies and during development of new cosmetics or cell-based food production, is the translation of a technology from the research laboratory to clinical use in the real world, and subsequently commercial manufacturing. To ensure this step goes well, understanding and evaluating potential raw material risks of media and reagents is key when working with products in a regulated environment….

Scaling up from 2D monolayers to complex 3D cell cultures
Using three-dimensional cell cultures is more popular today than ever. Yet as the complexity of cell culture increases – from 2D cell culture, spheroids, 3D models up to organoids – so do the variables. This means you should plan carefully before advancing from 2D to 3D cell culture. Keeping several key factors in mind,…

Cellular agriculture – the livestock farms of the future?
“Fifty years hence, we shall escape the absurdity of growing a whole chicken in order to eat the breast or wing by growing these parts separately under a suitable medium.” Winston Churchill, 1931. It may have taken us more than fifty years, but we are getting closer to Churchill’s dream of producing meat-like food without needing a live animal….

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,…

A young scientist seeks a method to knock out fibrosis
Lab work is exciting, says Bastian Fischer. Even experiments that just yield their expected results inspire the young German scientist. Fischer is currently working on his PhD, and is investigating how fibrosis develops, so that effective therapies for this medical condition can be found.
A scar is often all that remains of a deep cut – if anything remains at all….

From disease to healing: Exploring the roles of pericytes
They are multipotent, interact closely with endothelial cells, and are involved in immunosurveillance: the heterogeneous group of pericytes. These cells build the wall of blood vessels, and play a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of the vasculature. Due to their involvement in various pathophysiologies such as tumor angiogenesis, scientists are beginning to exploit their potential for therapeutic approaches….
