History of Stem cells Research        

Stem cells have an interesting history, in the mid-1800s it was revealed that cells were basically the building blocks of life and that some cells had the ability to produce other cells. Efforts were made to fertilize mammalian eggs outside of the human body and in the early 1900s, it was discovered that some cells had the capacity to generate blood cells. In 1968, the first bone marrow transplant was achieved successfully to treat two siblings with severe combined immunodeficiency. Other significant events in stem cell research include:

1978: Stem cells were discovered in human cord blood
1981: First in vitro stem cell line developed from mice
1988: Embryonic stem cell lines created from a hamster
1995: First embryonic stem cell line derived from a primate
1997: Cloned lamb from stem cells
1997: Leukaemia origin found as haematopoietic stem cell, indicating possible proof of cancer stem cells

Members Associated with Stem Cell Research:

      In University of Chicago there is Committee on Development, Regeneration, and Stem Cell Biology takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding the fundamental question of how a single cell, the fertilized egg, ultimately produces a complex fully patterned adult organism, as well as the intimately related question of how adult structures regenerate. Stem cells play critical roles both during embryonic development and in later renewal and repair. More than 35 faculty from both basic science and clinical departments in the Division of Biological Sciences belong to Development, Regeneration, and Stem Cell Biology. Their research uses traditional model species including nematode worms, fruit-flies, Arabidopsis, zebrafish, amphibians, chick and mouse as well as non-traditional model systems such as lampreys and cephalopods. Areas of research focus include stem cell biology, egeneration, developmental genetics, cellular basis of development, developmental neurobiology, and “evo-devo”.

Stem Cell Market Value:

Worldwide many companies are developing and marketing specialized cell culture media, cell separation products, instruments and other reagents for life sciences research. We are providing a unique platform for the discussions between academia and business.

Stem Cell Software’s :

1. Cryus : Cryus is developed specially for Cord Blood Banks, Donor Centers, Stem Cells Collection Centers, Biotech Laboratories and Tissue Banks.

2. Label-InnThe: Which allows to record the donor or the patient personal data into the database and generates the Donation Identification Number (DIN) according to ICCBBA international standard ISBT128. It serves as labelling software for blood samples and Stem Cells products.

Products Manufactured By Industry Related to Stem Cell:

RoboSep™-16 is the latest RoboSep™ instrument ingenuous for performing fully-automated cell separation from a huge number of samples. Using EasySep™, the column-free immunomagnetic cell separation system, RoboSep™-16 isolates desired cells from a wide range of samples from different species, tissue sources or sizes using positive or negative selection. Through an intuitive user interface, the RoboSep™-16 simultaneously isolates cells from up to sixteen samples with minimal hands on time. By automating all reagent and sample handling steps, and through the use of disposable pipette tips, the RoboSep™-16 rapidly isolates all desired cells while minimizing the risk of sample cross-contamination. After completion of the cell isolation procedure, cells of interest are immediately available for any downstream application.

The EasySep™ Mouse CD25 Regulatory T Cell Positive Selection Kit is designed to isolate highly purified CD25+ cells from single cell suspensions of splenocytes or other tissues by positive selection. Desired cells are labeled with antibodies and magnetic particles.  The cells are separated without columns using an EasySep™ magnet.  Unwanted cells are simply poured off, while desired cells remain in the tube.  Isolated cells are immediately ready for downstream applications such as flow cytometry, cell culture, or suppression assays.

Featured Research:

       Gene therapy gives assurance for severe combined immunodeficiency, Rsearchers have initiated that gene therapy using a improved delivery system, or vector, can restore the immune systems of children with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID-X1), a rare, life-threatening inherited condition that primarily affects boys. Previous efforts to treat SCID-X1 with gene therapy were initially efficacious, but approximately one-quarter of the children developed leukemia two to five years after treatment. Results from a study partially funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), suggest that the new vector is equally effective at restoring immunity and may be safer than previous approaches.
