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

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,

Small molecules – overcome the barriers to clinical development

The potential of nanomedicine to provide therapeutic benefits over conventional drug formulations has been proven with a number of drugs

Peptide advances in biomedicine

Peptides, which are short chains of amino acids, have gained significant attention in biomedicine due to their diverse applications. Their unique properties, such as high
