08.04.26 -- De-Risk MSC Development From Source To Scale

Designing Scalable Cell Therapy For Successful Development

Only 49 cell and gene therapies have reached approval despite 5,000+ active clinical trials. Closing that gap requires designing for commercial-scale manufacturing from the earliest research decisions, not retrofitting later.

 

How Raw Materials, Media Composition, And Process Decisions Shape Advanced Cell Therapies

Variability in autologous starting materials, serum-based media, and ill-matched early-stage platforms are among the biggest obstacles to commercial-scale cell therapy manufacturing. Getting these decisions right early is the difference between a therapy that reaches patients and one that doesn't.

 

Addressing Gaps In The CGT Market Through Partnership

Reducing variability is critical to advancing cell therapy development. Learn how cell sourcing, quality-focused manufacturing strategies, and ecosystem partnerships can support reproducible research.

SOLUTIONS

Support Consistent Research With Defined Umbilical Cord-Derived MSCs

Consistent MSC research starts with controlling variability. Cell sourcing and optimized cryopreservation strategies can improve process control for umbilical cord-derived cell therapy development.

 

RESEARCH RESOURCES

 

 

FUJIFILM Biosciences and NextCell Pharma AB have partnered to provide researchers with a standardized platform for umbilical cord -derived MSC research. Introducing NextCell-Cord RUO a research-use-only (RUO) UC-MSC product designed to support translational research and process development. Available as a standalone cell source or bundled with PRIME-XV MSC Expansion XSFM media and cryopreservation solutions, the platform is designed to help simplify MSC workflows from sourcing through expansion. Learn more.
