At a dire time, StemExpress has allocated resources to help businesses, communities, and healthcare facilities gain access to COVID-19 testing. The COVID-19 pandemic has sent shock-waves throughout the global economy. Some economies have been affected more severely than others. In the US, quarantines, travel curbs, and business shutdowns triggered an economic downturn, prompting state…
For More InformationCD34+ Stem Cells Show Protective Effects on Damaged Retina
Intravitreal injections of human bone marrow CD34+ stem cells prevent further retinal damage associated with diabetic retinopathy. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have shown that stem cell injections elicit a protective effect on retinas damaged by diabetes. Using a diabetic retinopathy mouse model system, the scientists demonstrated that intravitreal injections of human bone…
For More InformationImpaired MSC Maturation May Lead To Fragile Bone Formation
Mitochondrial dysfunction may impair MSC maturation and inhibit cell proliferation, contributing to fragile bone formation in SRS patients. Patients with Snyder-Robinson Syndrome (SRS), an X-linked recessive condition, exhibit deficient Spermidine Synthase (SMS) gene expression as well as neurodevelopmental defects and osteoporosis, often leading to extremely fragile bones. Although several studies have explored the possible mechanisms…
For More InformationFactors That Affect PBMC Viability And Recovery
I’ve spent many years working with blood and have seen quite a lot of odd issues arise that impact cell viability and recovery. Such as walking across a parking lot in 30-degree weather with freshly collected blood set inside an insulated box, only to have the temperature of the blood drop enough to cause the…
For More InformationImproved Method for Quick Identification of Mosquito Blood Meals
A new test offers an improved PCR-based method for the identification of human-, nonhuman mammal-, and bird-derived mosquito blood meals. West Nile virus (WNV), malaria, yellow fever, and Zika are some mosquito-borne diseases that affect hundreds of millions of people each year. The identification of host feeding sources and preferences are essential for studies into…

A recent publication from the University of Alabama cites using StemExpress Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) in the development of a novel T cell biomanufacturing platform that produces high-quality and large-scale human T cells for clinical use. by Tera Muir, PhD.Cell therapy has become one of the fastest-growing areas in the life sciences, bringing with…
For More InformationPeripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells: A Brief Review
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are a diverse mixture of highly specialized immune cells that play key roles in keeping our bodies healthy. This brief review tells a short story about PBMCs starting with their origin, the different immune cells within the PBMC fraction, isolation of these cells and how to characterize them, and once…
