Automated monitoring of metabolic activity and differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells
Detailed analysis of human stem cells offers the potential for the specific treatment of diseases by cell-based therapies. With an automated real-time analysis, we assess phenotypic changes during mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) differentiation.

Monocyte-derived macrophages: Customized in vitro large-scale differentiation from human PBMC
Primary human macrophages are difficult to isolate and do not proliferate in culture. We offer a complete system for easy and cost-efficient generation of pure monocyte-derived macrophages.

Cell death and proliferation of pharmacologically relevant human primary cells with drug treatment
Cytotoxic effects of a drug can be a crucial factor that differentiates a blockbuster from a failure. We assessed cytotoxic sensitivity of various primary cells in our portfolio using a high throughput-suitable assay.

Cells in Action: Mitosis in Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)
Watch the process of cell division in PromoCell's human mesenchymal stem cells! These images were captured using Nanolive’s non-invasive technology, which allows us to access the dynamics of biological processes, such as mitosis, with unprecedented resolution.

Cells in action: Differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells into neurons
Cells in action: Differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells into neurons In this video we can see the differentiation of PromoCell umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells into neurons. Excitingly, to our knowledge this is one of the first high-resolution, long-term, live cell time-lapses showing this process. These cells were grown for 13 days in PromoCell complete mesenchymal stem cell neurogenic differentiation medium prior to capture of this film. Images were captured every 30 seconds over a 20-hour period using NanoLive’s 3D Cell Explorer.

Cells in Action: Human Primary Keratinocytes at the stratum granulosum
Keratinocytes at the stratum granulosum contain two characteristic structures that are visible in this high resolution footage by Nanolive - the lamellar bodies and keratohyalin granules. While keratohyalin granules contain proteins involved in the aggregation of keratin filaments and in the formation of the cell envelope, lamellar bodies contain lipids and fuse with the plasma membrane in order to secrete the content into the extracellular space.

Cells in Action: membrane protrusions in HUVECs (Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells)
During angiogenesis, cell-matrix interactions are crucial. The cell matrix structures are involved in migration, invasion and survival of cells throughout the angiogenic process. In this video we can see filopodia and lamellipodia in great detail, thanks to Nanolive imaging's ability to view membrane deformations. These structures are essential for migration, cell-cell interactions, sensing of the cell environment and more. While filopodia appear as long, thin protrusion-like structures that emerge from the cellular membrane, lamellipodia are broad, sheet-shaped structures containing thin and short interconnected actin filaments.

Cells in Action: Double mitosis of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs)
Images of cells undergoing mitosis are mind-blowing, and non more beautiful than those of our Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) captured by Nanolive's 3D Cell Explorer. On the right hand side, the cell seems to enter mitosis but the chromatids don't complete segregation and the cell returns to interphase without dividing. Exiting mitosis is controlled by proteolysis and cyclin dependent kinases (CDKs). Mitosis regulatory machinery sometimes detects errors and forces a return to interphase, as seen here. This kind of research helps develop understanding of the cell cycle, which can be used in myriad applications including cancer research.
