60,000 miles of blood vessels run all throughout the average human body (Cleveland Clinic, 2022). Mostly tiny arteries and veins, they carry life-giving blood to every part of the body, enough to make the 5800-mile round trip between New York and San Francisco close to ten times. [Read more…]
September 7, 2023, SAN DIEGO – Shoreline Biosciences, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company developing effective and differentiated cellular immunotherapies based on induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived natural killer cells (iNKs) and macrophages (iMACs), today announced a major milestone in its patent litigation with Fate Therapeutics, Inc. and the Whitehead Institute in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California.

The high cost of producing and validating induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs or iPS cells) makes them inaccessible for many researchers. This has necessitated the creation of cell banks that can provide high-quality iPSCs to researchers who would otherwise be unable to produce and characterize these cells within their own laboratories. Importantly, the use of human iPSCs for drug screening can circumvent cross-species differences before drugs are moved into clinical trials. Of course, iPSCs are also being leveraged for a wide range of other applications, including disease modeling, toxicology testing, cell therapy, personalized medicine, clean meat production, 3D printing, and beyond.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells or iPSCs) are laboratory-made pluripotent stem cells that are produced using adult cells. They are derived from somatic cells by reprogramming artificially and turning on the expression of specific pluripotency genes. The reprogramming is achieved using different techniques with varying efficiencies. The iPSC technology was first discovered in 2006 by Shinya Yamanaka’s lab in Kyoto, Japan. He and his team introduced four specific genes encoding transcription factors and converted adult cells into pluripotent stem cells. [Read more…]
The quest for a full head of hair has captivated humankind for centuries. Countless individuals, plagued by hair loss and thinning, have sought effective remedies to restore their once-abundant tresses. In recent years, scientific advancements in the field of regenerative medicine have sparked hope with the potential use of stem cells and other innovative treatments for hair regrowth. This article delves into the exciting possibilities offered by these therapies, shedding light on their mechanisms and exploring their current status in the realm of hair restoration. [Read more…]
