During my daily discussions with researchers involved in in vitro iPS and Embryonic Stem cell cultures, I am always amazed by the passion that drives them. However, the more I go in depth with them in

In a previous post on Cellular Matrices for Translational Research, I introduced HyStem hydrogels.  In order to engineer a custom culture system with HyStem, simple pilot studies or optimization

Today, following our series on Tumour Microenvironment (TME), and leading on from three recent publications, let's discuss Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs).

CSCs are part of the TME, as they reside in

StemBeads^® FGF2 is a revolutionary growth factor supplement that offers a more efficient way to grow FGF2 dependent stem cell cultures.
This supplement delivers a steady release of growth factor into

Neurotrophic factors are known to protect neuronal cell death in several neurodegenerative diseases, both in in vitro and in vivo. They play a key role in development, differentiation, synaptogenesis,

Due to their ability to simulate the characteristics of most soft tissues and natural scaffolds, hydrogels are now an attractive material for developing synthetic Extracellular Matrix (ECM) analogs.

Recently,
