LifeCell International, India’s Largest Cord Blood Bank
LifeCell is India’s largest cord blood bank, offering stem cell banking services and diagnostic testing. Established in 2004, its BabyCord program is one of the largest cord blood banking programs in the region, with 50,000+ parents preserving newborn stem cells each year and 375,000 units cryopreserved.
I had the privilege of interviewing Mr. Mayur Abhaya Srisrimal, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of LifeCell. Mr. Abhaya has led LifeCell since 2008 and been instrumental in expanding its stem cell storage services across India with its BabyCord program. Under his leadership, LifeCell also raised growth capital from Helion Ventures and extended its preventive diagnostic services by launching BabyShield, a program targeted at reducing the infant mortality ratio. [Read more…]
Stem Cell Treatments For COPD? Learn the Latest Breakthroughs
A diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) can be alarming, but thanks to stem cell treatments for COPD, the situation may not be dire. Once a patient develops COPD, it means that he or she has developed complications to existing breathing problems. The chronic disease happens when inflammation in the lung interferes with airflow.
Not being able to breathe properly and having frequent chest tightness can be distressing, especially when it is caused by a chronic disease, rather than a temporary illness like bronchitis. Thankfully, new options for treatment emerge every day. Among these options are stem cell treatments for COPD. [Read more…]
Taking EV characterization to the next level with ONI’s Nanoimager
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are known for their role in facilitating wide range of intercellular communication such as regulation of the immune response and stem cells differentiation.
What is an extra-cellular vesicle?
EVs are membrane-enclosed particles ranging in size from 30nm to 300nm and their characteristic depend on the cell type releasing them. Often they will carry cargo of active molecules like RNA, DNA, proteins, metabolites and lipids. Moreover, EVs can be found in most biological fluids with the ability to cross biological barriers, and in the case of pathological conditions, the composition of the cargo will be distinctive to the disease. Altogether, these features have led to intense research into the potential role of EVs for diagnostics, biomarkers and as vehicles for drug delivery. [Read more…]
The Exosome Revolution is Here
Exosomes have recently exploded in popularity, with companies developing exosome-based diagnostics, therapeutics, and cosmeceuticals. Although they were discovered more than 30 years ago, it was not until recently that the scientific community began to give credit to exosomes for a range of promising traits. [Read more…]
