iPSC and iPSC-derived Cells

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a type of stem cells that are generated from embryonic cells or adult somatic cells, such as mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), fibroblasts and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) through a process called reprogramming. This reprogramming involves introducing OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and L-MYC genes by episomal plasmids or retroviral transduction that are essential for maintaining pluripotency. iPSCs have the remarkable ability to self-renew and develop into any type of somatic cell, making them valuable and powerful tools for disease modeling and drug discovery.

With a decade of expertise in the field, Creative Biolabs has built up advanced manufacturing capabilities for producing top-notch, functional iPSC and iPSC-derived cells with exceptional uniformity. If you are looking for iPSC-related cells, please feel free to contact us. We also provide made-to-order products with our lines or your lines.

Case Study

Microglia are immune cells found in the brain that help maintain the health and function of neural cells. Dysfunction in microglia has been linked to the development of neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's disease, where they may contribute to the progression of symptoms and cognitive decline.

We have optimized a culture protocol to generate single microglia from iPSCs, which specifically express Iba1, P2Y12, and TREM2, for modeling neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory diseases.
