05.06.24 -- Revolutionizing Medicine: Innovations In Developing Stem Cell And Organoid-Based Therapies

How Close Are We To The Clinic?

Although they still face several challenges, organoids offer new possibilities in therapeutic screening, personalized medicine, and regenerative medicine. Their ability to model human organs may even offer a possible solution to the shortage of organs for transplantation.

 

Culturing And Characterizing Organoids And Cancer Spheroids

In this presentation, you will discover techniques for generating, maintaining, and performing high-throughput analysis of organoids and other 3D culture systems, such as spheroids, essential for cutting-edge regenerative medicine research.

 

An Animal-Free Fully Defined Workflow For Human iPSC Research

This study explores the development of an iPSC workflow that is free from animal components, including an animal-free expansion medium that supports the proliferation and growth of iPSC. The iPSCs grown using these methods maintained their pluripotency by successfully differentiating into different cell types.

 

Targeting Macular Degeneration With Stem Cell Therapy

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in developed countries. A novel stem-cell therapy based upon iPSC-derived RPE cell transplantation has been conceptualized as a promising treatment for AMD and other retinal diseases.
