Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Therapies
Each year, more human pluripotent stem cell(hPSC)-derived therapies move toward the clinic, which is why it’s important to stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in the field. Whether you’re just about to start your next project or are well on your way to clinical trials, the big picture of clinical translation in terms of patient safety, cell quality, and physiological relevance should always be top of mind.
Below is a collection of scientific resources to highlight the exciting potential of hPSC-derived therapies.
In this Innovation Showcase presentation, Lynn Csontos demonstrates how ϳԹ can support your project timing, product quality, and overall vision by building quality into our products, processes, and policies. Kimberly Snyder then presents data showing how TeSR™-AOF, a novel animal origin-free (AOF) hPSC maintenance medium, supports optimized cell quality, improved performance, and reproducibility across all cell lines.
Watch Now >- Quality Control Guidelines for Clinical-Grade Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell LinesIn this talk, Andrew Gaffney is joined by Stephen Sullivan from the Global Alliance for iPSC Therapies (GAiT) to discuss the importance of iPSC characterization as well as risks and mitigation strategies involved in creating a cell therapy.
- Lost in Translation - Moving Your Research to Clinical TrialsThis webinar describes steps and considerations involved in translating research to the clinic.
- Human Pluripotent Stem Cells for the Treatment of Age-Related Macular Degeneration and Compliance Considerations for Clinical-Grade iPSCsIn this talk, Drs. Sandra Petrus-Reurer and Álvaro Plaza Reyes share their research on using human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived retinal epithelial cells (RPE) to treat age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and describe the steps and hurdles associated with bringing an hPSC-derived product to the clinic. This seminar is followed by a presentation from Lynn Csontos, in-house quality expert from ϳԹ, who discusses compliance considerations for clinical-grade induced pluripotent stem cells.
- Nature Research Round Table: Retinal Cell Therapy Using Human Embryonic Stem CellsDr. Peter Coffey from University College London shares his work with the London Project to Cure Blindness, which resulted in the first clinical stem cell trial to treat blindness, and discusses cell quality requirements for clinical trials. This presentation and the following Q&A session were moderated by Dr. Christine Mummery from the Leiden University Medical Center. <br><br> This presentation was part of a Round Table series titled “Challenges in Ensuring hPSC Quality”, hosted in partnership with Nature Research.
