Your Global Leader in Stem Cell Market Research
As the world has been rocked by the COVID-19 pandemic, most in-person conferences have been canceled or switched to online formats. This goes for stem cell conferences too. However, stem cell conferences are still happening in 2021, albeit mostly virtual.
Here is your complete guide to virtual stem cell conferences in 2021. Learn more below to decide which ones to attend. For ease of reference, they are organized by date. [Read more…]
What do we know of the safety and efficacy of stem cell therapeutics? Over 50 years have passed since the discovery of hematopoietic stem cells (bone marrow transplantation to cure diseases such as leukemia), over 20 years since the discovery of human embryonic stem cells (hESC), and 15 years since the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells). There are now thousands of stem cell trials underway in clinics worldwide.
Despite this experience, what do we actually know about the safety and efficacy of stem cell therapeutics? [Read more…]
Despite progress involving the use of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) within disease modeling and drug discovery applications, it will be a long path to achieve the broad-scale use of iPSC-derived cell types in human patients. [Read more…]
Macular degeneration is a crushing condition, leading to loss of visual acuity, and in some cases, eventual blindness. Even those who don’t experience total eyesight loss suffer a frustrating degradation of central vision, which makes driving, using the computer or other devices, recognizing faces, reading and many other activities nearly impossible to do. However, recent advancements in stem cell treatments for macular degeneration are providing a beacon of hope to many. [Read more…]
TORONTO, Jan. 8, 2021– panCELLa’s intent to develop therapeutic products in the mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) and pancreatic islet space has recently led to the creation of Implant Therapeutics.
Implant Therapeutics, under the guidance of Dr. Mahendra Rao, is engineering iPSC-MSC cells containing panCELLa’s FailSafe™ and induced Allogeneic Cell Tolerance (iACT Stealth Cell™) technologies. These iPSC MSC cells are hypo-immunogenic and are an ideal choice for bone, cartilage and tendon replacement strategies combining the advantages of allogeneic and autologous cells as well as allowing them to be used as ex-vivo gene therapy vehicles.
