Do You Know The 5 Types Of Stem Cells?
As you start to learn about stem cells, one of the most common questions to have is, “What types of stem cells exist?” There is not an agreed-upon number of stem cell types, because one can classify stem cells either by differentiation potential (what they can turn into) or by origin (from where they are sourced).
This post is dedicated to explaining the five types of stem cells, based on differentiation potential. [Read more…]

Custom iPSC Engineering Services – 4 Reasons to Choose Applied StemCell
Applied StemCell Inc. (ASC) is a gene-editing company that offers an optimized series of tools for basic research study, drug discovery, bio-processing, bio-production and preclinical applications. Currently, the company is focused on the following areas:
- Cell line generation for bio-production and bioassays
- Patient-relevant cell models for personalized medicine
- Physiologically predictive animal and cellular models of human disease
Applied StemCell uses its TARGATT™ technology to specifically insert a gene-of-interest at a well-characterized, transcriptionally active locus in the genome with guaranteed transgene expression. This site-specific knock-in technology was first established in mouse models, and ASC has successfully applied it to human cell lines.
ASC has leveraged this technology across various projects that combine the complementary CRISPR/Cas9 technology and TARGATT™ for highly specified transgene expression. [Read more…]
Trailhead Biosystems Puts iPSCs on a New Path
Biotech founder and CEO Jan Jensen has never been one for following the beaten track. As a young scientist studying the formation of insulin-producing pancreatic cells, Jensen questioned the prevailing view that these cells descended from neuroectoderm. His pancreatic embryonic tissue studies told him otherwise: insulin-producing pancreatic cells originate from within the pancreas itself. Jensen’s hypothesis, now the accepted view, and his further studies made him the first developmental biologist at Novo Nordisk, at a time when the world’s largest insulin producer had little interest in cell-based therapy. Now, 20 years later, Novo Nordisk is at the forefront of cell-based Type I Diabetes research. [Read more…]
