Stem cell therapy is currently utilised in medicine for its application in tissue repair and regenerative medicine. Unique characteristics of stem cells, such as self-renewal and differentiation, allow its function to be applicable for therapeutic purposes. Nanotechnology and cell microencapsulation have been researched and used as a means to protect…

18 years since the first cord blood transplants were performed in the UK, public knowledge on this life-saving process is still sorely lacking. A study of over 4,000 people found that nearly a third (32%) of Britons did not know you can store umbilical cord blood and tissue, while the…
Freddy White speaks with Don Paul Kovarcik, Business Development Manager, Lonza at the ISSCR Annual Meeting.
Working in stem cell research can be both immensely rewarding and notoriously challenging. One of the most prominent challenges is taking what are often exciting new advances in stem cell biology made in the research lab, and translating these into viable, impactful therapies for patients.
