The stem cell products industry encompasses a diverse range of products and services. In a developing embryo, stem cells can differentiate into all of the specialized embryonic tissues. In adult humans, stem and progenitor cells act as a repair system for the body, replenishing specialized cells. Since the discovery of stem cells more than 30 years ago, a robust market for stem cell products and services has emerged. [Read more…]

Custom iPSC Engineering Services – 4 Reasons to Choose Applied StemCell
Applied StemCell Inc. (ASC) is a gene-editing company that offers an optimized series of tools for basic research study, drug discovery, bio-processing, bio-production and preclinical applications. Currently, the company is focused on the following areas:
- Cell line generation for bio-production and bioassays
- Patient-relevant cell models for personalized medicine
- Physiologically predictive animal and cellular models of human disease
Applied StemCell uses its TARGATT™ technology to specifically insert a gene-of-interest at a well-characterized, transcriptionally active locus in the genome with guaranteed transgene expression. This site-specific knock-in technology was first established in mouse models, and ASC has successfully applied it to human cell lines.
ASC has leveraged this technology across various projects that combine the complementary CRISPR/Cas9 technology and TARGATT™ for highly specified transgene expression. [Read more…]
