Synthetic Stem Cells Mend Damaged Heart Tissue

By drivendigital | July 10, 2017

Adult stem cells have the ability of self-regeneration and differential plasticity, which allows them to play a key role in cell-mediated cardiovascular regenerative therapies. One such adult stem cell, mesenchymal stem cell (MSC), is widely used in preclinical and clinical studies on the regeneration of cardiac function and structure after acute myocardial infarction. A primary…

Personalized medicine has taken a leap forward with advances in chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy

By drivendigital | June 12, 2017

CAR-T Cell Therapy Treatments for cancers of the blood have been historically based on surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy with more recent treatments focused on adoptive T cell therapy (ACT). ACT is most commonly applied by isolating tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, which are naturally enriched from tumor-specific T cells, expanded in culture, and reintroduced back into the…

CGT Global Cells in the Development of Humanized Mice

By drivendigital | June 10, 2015

The human body is a complex biological system. In order to fully understand this complex system, in vivo (live) analysis is often required. However, the study of human biology in vivo is severely limited due to ethical and technical constraints. In place of human models, humanized mice have been created to fill this role. These…

Liver Injury/Regeneration

By drivendigital | October 30, 2012

Joshua Wood, PhD, recently published an article in association with the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases.  Josh serves as our VP of Clinical Operations at StemExpress.  “Although the vasculogenic potential of circulating and cord blood (CB)-derived endothelial colony-forming cells (ECFC) has been demonstrated in vitro and in vivo, little is known about the…
