Recent advances in diagnostics and treatments – from small molecules to cellular therapies
14 August 2018 | By Bio-Techne
With recent advances in medicine, cellular therapies are one step closer to becoming a reality where re-programmed cells, tissues and organs can be used as therapeutic agents. This webinar discussed the journey of medical treatments from small molecule to cellular therapies...

Upstream cell culture processes for the production of therapeutic proteins
The upstream process encompasses the initial transfections of a gene of interest into host cells, the cloning of cell lines with desirable characteristics (e.g. high productivity) and subsequent scale-up to large scale manufacture.

From fibroblasts to medicinal signalling cells: a paradigm shift in translational stem cell research
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are fibroblast-like cells that give rise to mesenchymal derivatives including bone, fat and cartilage cells. In addition to the bone marrow, they can be readily obtained from adult vascularised peripheral tissues including adipose, olfactory, respiratory tissue, and peripheral blood.

Novel drug therapy partially restores hearing in mice
A small-molecule drug is one of the first to preserve hearing in a mouse model of an inherited form of progressive human deafness, report investigators at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, and the National Institutes of Health’s National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD).
