NMDP BioTherapies and the NMDP BioTherapies Cord Blood Bank Alliance Introduce Optimal Cord Blood Units for Manufacture of NK Cell Therapies And Other Cord Derived Cell Therapies
Leveraging the Power of the NMDP BioTherapies Cord Blood Bank Alliance, Readily Accessible Cord Blood Units That Meet the Criteria Established in Marin, et al in Nature Medicine for Production of CAR-NK Cells
MINNEAPOLIS, July 18, 2024 — NMDP BioTherapiesSM (formerly known as the Be The Match BioTherapies), a leader in cell and gene therapy development support, and the NMDP BioTherapies Cord Blood Bank Alliance (CBBA), a partnership between NMDP BioTherapies and nine public cord blood banks, are making available pre-identified cord blood units that are optimized for manufacture of cord-derived cell therapies, and in particular cord-derived NK cell therapies. The identification and supply of these units leverages the over 200,000 cord blood units in the inventory of the CBBA as well as NMDP BioTherapies’ cord unit search platform, through which individual cord blood units that meet specific requirements can be rapidly identified.

The History of Cultured Meat and Where We’re at Today
The idea of cultured meat is not new and it has long been around, although there have not been the techniques to produce it until recently. Cultured meat was seemingly first mentioned in 1897 within a science fiction novel titled Auf Zwei Planeten, and further mentioned within a number of other novels throughout the 19th century.
Organizations Who are Conducting Human Trials with iPSC-Derived Cellular Therapeutics
Induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are a type of stem cell that can be generated directly from adult cells. They were first developed in 2006 by Shinya Yamanaka and his team. iPS cells are engineered by reprogramming adult cells, such as skin cells, to revert to a pluripotent state, meaning they have the ability to differentiate into any cell type in the body. This reprogramming is typically achieved by introducing a combination of specific genes or gene factors into the adult cells, which resets their developmental clock. [Read more…]
