Sistemic and Cynata Announce Cooperation on In-process Purity Assay Development for Cell Therapy (CT) Product - Depositphotos_110507274_m-2015.jpg

Sistemic Ltd. LogoBased in Glasgow, UK, Sistemic Ltd. is a company that specializes in microRNA-based services and kit-based products. Cynata Therapeutics is a stem cell and regenerative medicine company listed on the Australian stock exchange (ASX: CYP).

Cynata’s Cymerus™ technology utilizes iPSCs originating from an adult donor as the starting material for generating mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The importance of this technology is that it is a process for manufacturing a consistent cell therapy product.

Cynata TherapeuticsCynata’s lead product is CYP-oo1, an iPSC-derived mesenchymal stem cell product that is anticipated to be the world’s first allogeneic iPSC product to enter a clinical trial.

In the press release below, Sistemic Ltd. and Cynata Therapeutics announce that they have entered into an agreement in which Sistemic will use its miRNA technology platforms to develop an in-process assessment assay for Cynata’s Cymerus™ cell therapy products.

MSCs are currently being explored in nearly 500 clinical trials worldwide, but technologies supporting large-scale manufacturing of MSCs are scare, which is what makes standardization and scale-up of the Cymerus technology important.

Save the Cord Foundation and BioInformant Join Forces in Global Effort to Increase Cord Blood Banking Awareness

Save the Cord Foundation and BioInformant Announce Partnership for Cord Blood Banking Awareness

PRESS RELEASE; April 1, 2015
WASHINGTON, DC, and TUCSON, AZ

Press release available at PR Web:  http://www.prweb.com/releases/2015/04/prweb12627399.htm.

For expectant parents, there are thousands of decisions to make in a short amount of time, including clothes, cribs, names, birthing methods, medical procedures, and more. It can be overwhelming, especially given the short-time frame involved. In addition to these decisions, there is an often overlooked decision: what to do with the extremely valuable stem and progenitor cells contained within the umbilical cord of the expected newborn? There are three options, which are to publicly donate, to privately store, or to discard the umbilical cord as medical waste. Two of those decisions require research and action on behalf of the parents, while the third is what happens when sufficient awareness and education has not been provided to allow parents to make an informed, educated decision.

Cord Blood Registry (CBR) and CDI Partner to Reprogram Cord Blood into iPS Cells

January 13, 2015 By Cade Hildreth (CEO) Leave a Comment

CBR and CDI - Cord Blood and Tissue-Derived iPS Cells

It has long been recognized that umbilical cord blood could provide a readily available supply of cells for the creation of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPS cell) populations.

Now, a collaboration has been announced between Cord Blood Registry (CBR), the largest American cord blood bank, and Cellular Dynamics International (CDI), the world’s largest iPS cell company.

Specifically, the research partnership will reprogram umbilical cord blood and tissue-derived stem cells that have been processed and cryopreserved under CBR’s protocols into iPS cells that will be produced using CDI’s proprietary methods.

To learn more, see the full press release below.


Cord Blood Registry and Cellular Dynamics International Announce Collaboration to Reprogram Newborn Stem Cells into Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells

SAN BRUNO, Calif. and MADISON, Wis., Jan. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — Cord Blood Registry® (CBR®)and Cellular Dynamics International (NASDAQ: ICEL) (CDI) announced today that they have entered into a research collaboration to reprogram newborn stem cells from both umbilical cord blood and umbilical cord tissue collected, processed and cryopreserved under CBR’s protocols into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) using CDI’s proprietary methods.

CBR and CDI Partner - Cord Blood into iPS CellsThrough this research collaboration, CBR will provide to CDI multiple de-identified, research-donated and cryopreserved umbilical cord blood units as well as multiple de-identified units of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from previously cryopreserved cord tissue. CDI will reprogram the cells into iPSCs and confirm their pluripotent nature.

iPSCs, cells that have the ability to replicate indefinitely and to differentiate into any cell type in the human body, are one of the most promising frontiers in human medicine. Once an iPSC line is created, it becomes a renewable source of starting material for differentiation into any tissue of the body. iPSCs are currently used by researchers in disease modeling, drug screening and in the early stages of cell-based therapy clinical trials. A patient-specific iPSC line would have significant potential in future cell therapies as any tissue differentiated from those iPSCs would be a perfect genetic match to the individual from whose cells the original line was created.

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), like those found in umbilical cord blood, and MSCs, like those found in cord tissue, have previously been shown by researchers to be reprogrammable into iPSCs (Mack, 2011 and Cai, 2010).

However, this research collaboration will be unique in that a leader in iPSC technology and the world’s largest cord blood bank have partnered to establish a workflow to allow HSCs and MSCs collected and cryopreserved at birth by CBR to be later reprogrammed into iPSCs for individuals.

“CBR is excited to enter into this research collaboration with CDI, a leader in iPSC technology,” said Geoffrey Crouse, President and CEO of CBR. “Establishing a repeatable process, by which CBR’s clients can have their newborn stem cells reprogrammed to become induced pluripotent stem cells, has the potential to increase the future utility of the cells we store in our bank. The stem cells our clients have stored are particularly unique as a starting material as they are collected at birth and typically undamaged by age, disease and environmental factors that may be encountered through life.”

“We look forward to applying CDI’s proprietary episomal reprogramming technique to create iPSCs from cells stored in CBR’s bank,” said Bob Palay, Chairman and CEO of CDI. “Our goal is for the families who have entrusted CBR to store newborn stem cells from more than 500,000 children to know that they can have CDI establish a line of individualized iPSCs that matches their own genetic material. Given the rate of clinical advancements in iPSCs and their capacity to differentiate into different tissues, the ability to create a pluripotent stem cell from newborn stem cells has the potential to become a very valuable resource to treat disease.”
