Learn about our Mammary Cell System by following this link:

http://bit.ly/157xIFv


ScienCell Mammary Cell System is composed of 3 types of cells isolated from adult female breast tissues:
  • Endothelial Cells (#7600)
  • Epithelial Cells (#7610)
    For optimal results, use it with our Mammary Epithelial Cell Medium (#7611)
  • Fibroblasts (#7630)
Together they serve as good platforms for studying cellular function and differentiation, hormone regulation and diseases like breast cancer.
Human Pancreatic Stellate Cells
Catalog #3830

InfluenzaHuman Pancreatic Stellate Cells is a new cell product offered by ScienCell, and is also just identified in the pancreas in the recent decade. Pancreatic stellate cells reside in the exocrine area of pancreas and surround the pancreatic acinar cells and pancreatic ducts. They are regulated by paracrine and autocrine stimuli, and can switch between quiescent and activated states. When primary pancreatic stellate cells are cultured, they become activated to acquire myofibroblast-like morphology and secret extracellular matrix proteins. In pancreas, quiescent pancreatic stellate cells are activated as a consequence of pancreatic injury. They are induced to proliferate, migrate to the sites of injury and secret extracellular matrix proteins to promote tissue repair. However, persistent activation of pancreatic stellate cells can lead to fibrosis that is associated with chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic cancer. In recent years, they have become potential therapeutic targets for the treatment and prevention of these diseases.

Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Reagents


STEMium®

STEMium® is a serum-free medium designed for optimal growth of human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells under feeder-free conditions.

Advantages

  • A standardized growth medium for promoting long-term culture of human pluripotent stem cells while maintaining their pluripotency.
  • It contains physiological levels of bFGF without increasing other growth factor concentrations in the medium.
  • Medium adaption is not required.
  • An affordable growth medium that requires no additional supplements or feeder cells.

StemDS®

StemDS® stem cell dissociation solution is an animal component-free, sterile solution. It is specifically designed for the optimal dissociation of adherent human pluripotent stem cells during routine subculturing.

Advantages

  • StemDS is ready-to-use for easy and fast sub-culturing, and requires no additional scraping tools.
  • Provides minimal damage to cells during routine passaging, and produces a high cell recovery rate, while maintaining their pluripotency.
  • Quick and efficient dissociation by working within minutes to detach adherent human pluripotent stem cells.
  • It is animal component-free and does not contain any mammalian or bacterial-derived products.

Stem Cell Research - introduction

Stem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into many different cell types in the body during early life and growth. In addition, in many tissues they serve as a sort of internal repair system, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cells as long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem cell divides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cell or become another type of cell with a more specialized function, such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.
Scientists primarily work with three kinds of stem cells from human and animals: (1) embryonic stem cells (ESCs), (2) non-embryonic "somatic" or "adult" stem cells and (3) induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs).
Research on stem cells continues to advance knowledge about how an organism develops from a single cell and how healthy cells replace damaged cells in adult organisms. Stem cell research is one of the most fascinating areas of contemporary biology, but, as with many expanding fields of scientific inquiry, research on stem cells raises scientific questions as rapidly as it generates new discoveries.
