ISMTR-283 Protects Human Bone Marrow Progenitors from the Lethal Effects of Ionizing Radiation
ReachBio LLC

Bone Marrow (BM) is extremely susceptible to radiation damage. BM from matched donors is often used to ‘rescue’ patients following medical radiation for leukemia. However, in the event of accidental/environmental radiation exposure, the ability to identify appropriate donors in a timely manner is rarely possible. Using CFC assays, we evaluated a small molecule compound (ISMTR-283) for its potential to protect the marrow progenitor cells and microenvironment from radiation damage.
Analyzing Molecular Polar Surface Descriptors to Predict Blood-Brain Barrier Permeation
University of Würzburg

Permeation of active drugs across the vascular brain endothelium into the central nervous system (CNS) is controlled by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Some molecular quantities like polar surface (PS) descriptors are of key interest to medicinal chemists to predict the BBB permeation fate for different drug-like chemical compounds.
The Mesenchymal Stem Cells Bioengineered Tissue Using Cobalt-60 Radiation
IPEN/CNEN - USP

The biological effects of gamma radiation by cobalt-60 sources on epidermal-dermal matrix have not been fully elucidated when mesenchymal stem cells cultured add in. This poster shows how scientists standardized the keratinocytes and adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) culture procedure before constructing a bioengineered dermal-epidermal equivalent populated by keratinocytes and ADSC cultured cells.
Expression of Pluripotency-determining Factors in in vitro Fertilized Buffalo Embryos and Embryonic Stem Cells
Animal Biotechnology Centre, NDRI

The POU octamer-binding domain transcription factor Oct-4, Stage-specific embryonic antigens (SSEAs), and Tumor rejection antigens (TRAs), are developmentally regulated during early embryogenesis.

High Content Analysis of Neural Stem Cell Expansion and Differentiation
Molecular Devices

Automated assay methods for monitoring neural stem cell expansion and differentiation using stem cell derived neural cell lines and high content imaging systems have been described.
Neurotoxicity Assays Using iPSC-Derived Neurons and High Content Imaging
Molecular Devices

Neurotoxicity can cause temporary or permanent damage of brain or peripheral nervous system and has been found to be a major cause of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. Accordingly, there is a great interest in developing more predictive, disease relevant cell-based models and efficient screening tools for assessing the neurotoxicity of chemical compounds, drug candidates and environmental agents.
Live Cell Beating Assay Using Human iPSC-derived Cardiomyocytes for Evaluation of Drug Efficacy and Toxicity
Molecular Devices

A large percentage of new drugs fail in clinical studies due to cardiac toxicity. Development of highly predictive in vitro assays suitable for screening, safety assessment or other environments is therefore extremely important for drug development. Human cardiomyocytes derived from stem cell sources can greatly accelerate the discovery of cardiac drugs and improve drug safety by offering more clinically relevant cell-based models than those presently available.
Regulation of shoot apical meristem development by SEUSS and SEUSS-LIKE 2 in Arabidopsis
The University of Melbourne

In Arabidopsis, SEU and SLK2 are redundant components of a regulatory complex that is proposed to promote shoot apical meristem (SAM) formation during embryogenesis. Expression analysis indicates that SEU and SLK2 act upstream of several known SAM regulators, and also regulate auxin accumulation, probably via interaction with auxin response factors.
Expansion of mesenchymal stem cells from frozen UCB
StemCare A/S and Bioneer A/S

Umbilical cord blood (UCB) has recently been the focus of clinical applications. UCB contains of hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Clinical studies shows that MSC can be used in regenerative medicine hereby treatment of cardiac diseases. The aim of this project is to establish a protocol for isolation of MSCs from frozen UCB. This study demonstrated that it’s possible to expand MSC.

Measurement of Proteasome Inhibition in Live Cells in Molecular Devices Microplate Fluorometers
Molecular Devices

The proteasome is a massive protein complex which can recognize and bind targeted proteins, and inject them into the central core where the proteins are successively degraded into short peptides. Whereas protein synthesis is well-understood after decades of study, major advances in our knowledge of protein degradation have occurred only in the last two decades.
Isolation and Characterization of Human Bone-Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Millipore

Mesenchymal stem cells derived from bone marrow have become an attractive model cell system for the in vitro and in vivo study of disease states such as osteoporosis, obesity, and arthritis. We have isolated mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from the bone marrow aspirate of a single human donor. Human bone-marrow-derived MSCs express the mesenchymal stem cell markers STR0-1, CD44, and CD90, and do not express hematopoietic markers CD14 and CD19. Human bone-marrow-derived MSCs can be expanded for 18
Stem Cell-Derived Human Neurons in CNS Drug Discovery
Molecular Devices

Central nervous system (CNS) disorders affect many people worldwide. To increase the quality and number of drugs available for treatments of CNS disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, schizophrenia and anxiety, the success rate of CNS drug discovery programs must be improved. The challenge in drug discovery is to develop more relevant assay systems to identify lead compounds for further development. Cell-based screening assays currently used for CNS drug discovery and development involve primary
Nucleofection® of mouse ES cells
Amaxa GMBH

Efficient delivery of DNA is crucial for gene targeting in embryonic stem cells and for successful generation of knock-out mice. Data presented in this technote show that Nucleofection® leads to a homogenous gene expression pattern in mouse ES cell colonies. In contrast to standard electroporation, Nucleofection® results in a 100% deletion of frt-flanked genes on both alleles. Viable and fertile mice were generated from transfected mouse ES cell clones.
