Overview of T Cell Activation and Expansion
In recent years, the boom in immune cell therapy has led to an increased interest in the industrial production of T cells. To accomplish successful cell therapy, a large number of CAR-T or other ...
Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells — What You Should Know?
Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) are any blood cell with a single nucleus. These blood cells are a critical component in the human immune system to fight pathogens. PBMCs consist of ...
iPSC: Characteristics, Culture, Differentiation
Induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) is a pluripotent stem cell that is introduced to a series of inducing factors into mature somatic cells and reprogrammed into a type of pluripotent stem cell with ...
Preparation and Applications of Buffy Coat
In a sample of peripheral whole blood, less than 1% of the cells are white blood cells (WBCs) and platelets. When researchers put the sample through a centrifuge, a machine that spins the blood, ...
Neural Stem Cells: Source, Culture, Identification, Differentiation
Neural stem cells (NSCs) are primitive cells with self-renewal and multi-differentiation potential that are preserved during the development of the nervous system. With the deepening of the ...
Cell Line Development
With current advances in technology and biopharmaceutical research, cell line development (CLD) has become a prominent process in many application areas. One of these areas would be the development ...
Magnetic Cell Separation
Cell isolation techniques are methods to separate and transfer certain cells from a complex mixture of cells to obtain single cells or to sort the cells according to a property of choice and thus ...
Cell Counting Techniques
Cell culture is a critical step in cell biology research. To ensure healthy cell growth and facilitate downstream experiments, researchers must determine cell growth curves and understand the growth ...
Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells — What You Should Know?
Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) isolated from bone marrow have been successfully employed for 50 years in hematological transplantations. Currently, these cells are more frequently ...
New Study that Mimics The Fasting Process to Help Regenerate Stem Cells in The Intestine
24-hour fasting can help keep intestinal stem cells young and vibrant. Recently, biologists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have discovered ways to regenerate these stem cells and ...
