Guide To Seeding, Expanding, And Harvesting Stem Cells

Occasional breakthroughs in stem cell research, such as the discovery of MSCs or the development of induced pluripotent stem cells, showcase the potential of regenerative medicine. While progress towards realizing the promise of this field is still largely limited to preclinical research or early clinical trials, the use of stem cells has already accelerated our understanding of human diseases and the search for effective treatments.

Exploration is ongoing, which promises to lead to innovations that accelerate the work, such as automated handling of more samples, greater volumes, or faster processing. Investigate important considerations for working with three different stem cell types: mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs), induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), and neural stem cells (NSCs).
