Biobanks are diverse processing and storage facilities that maintain biospecimens. These stored biological materials can be used for drug development and discovery efforts, precision medicine studies, biomarker-based preclinical research, and more. Increasingly, biobanks are also storing stem cell lines, such as induced pluripotent stem cell lines that are being derived from both healthy and diseased donors. Biobanks can also contain cord blood units collected from newborns, as well as associated tissues that may contain stem cell and progenitor cells, such as umbilical cord blood tissue or placental tissue.

Mesenchymal Stem Cell Industry News Round Up | October 2015
The mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) industry is well-known for its shifting dynamics, including new alliances, new research advances and innovations. Every month there are major new events that affect market participants.
Therefore, we are excited to share with you the following summary of major mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) industry events for  October 2015.
Guest Post: Role of the Physio-chemical Environment in Steering Stem Cell Differentiation
This guest post by JM Wilkinson and Kelly S. Davidge of Kirkstall Ltd. highlights an emerging technology, organotypic cell cultures. Â
Cell culture has come a long way in the last 20 years. 3D is rapidly replacing 2D (plated cells on cover slips) and now perfusion based systems with gentle flow of media are improving proliferation rates, control of differentiation and cell function. For in vitro safety and efficacy testing the goal is organotypic behaviour where the cell metabolism accurately reflects what happens in the human body. However some of the techniques also have direct relevance for stem cell research too. In this note we discuss some of the important factors that help to steer stem cell differentiation and could deliver mature cells with low batch to batch variation and a far more homogeneous population.

Complete Year-to-Date Collection of Cord Blood Banking Awareness Facts
Six months ago, we proudly announced our partnership with Save the Cord Foundation in launching an awareness campaign  called “Cord Blood Banking Awareness: Educating America and the World.” This campaign aims to educate currently expecting parents, as well as future parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends, about the medical benefits of cord blood preservation. Below is a collection of facts that aid our efforts in spreading awareness.
Top 10 Most Shared Stem Cell Articles of the Past 12 Months
Social Analytics Reveal Key Findings about Stem Cell Article Popularity
The field of stem cell research has boomed over the past twelve months, bringing to light new ideas for treatments and applications. Here at BioInformant, we strive to do our best to provide you with the most up to date information related to the industry. As a supplement to our monthly round-ups, we thought it would be important to share the top ten most shared stem cell articles from the past year.
