Tuesday, June 13, 2023

SAN ANTONIO, June 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- StemBioSys, Inc. (StemBioSys) announced today the launch of CELLvo™ Atrial Cardiomyocyte, a "chamber specific" human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocyte (hiPSC-CM) designed to function identically to human atrial cardiomyocytes. StemBioSys developed CELLvo™ Atrial Cardiomyocyte to empower pharmaceutical companies and academics with a more precise, efficient and cost-effective platform for screening new drug products in vitro for cardiotoxicity compared to animal models and other in-vitro methods currently in use.

Key Points: 
  • StemBioSys developed CELLvo™ Atrial Cardiomyocyte to empower pharmaceutical companies and academics with a more precise, efficient and cost-effective platform for screening new drug products in vitro for cardiotoxicity compared to animal models and other in-vitro methods currently in use.
  • "Having access to mature, human atrial cells derived from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) is a breakthrough in many ways," said Bob Hutchens, CEO of StemBioSys.
  • Thus, these mature human atrial cells mirror those found in a natural, beating heart and should be better predictors of drug effects and toxicity.
  • Mr. Hutchens concluded, "CELLvo™ Atrial Cardiomyocyte is the first of several anticipated product launches utilizing our groundbreaking hiPSC technology.

SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- StemBioSys, Inc. (StemBioSys) announced today the launch of NeuroMatrix™, an astrocyte-derived extracellular matrix that enables the culture of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) derived and primary neural cell types. StemBioSys designed NeuroMatrix™ to expand the use of iPSC-derived neurons in drug discovery and toxicity testing.

Key Points: 
  • SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- StemBioSys, Inc. (StemBioSys) announced today the launch of NeuroMatrix™, an astrocyte-derived extracellular matrix that enables the culture of human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) derived and primary neural cell types.
  • "Currently, the use of human pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons is limited by their slow and incomplete maturation and the short longevity of cultures.
  • NeuroMatrix™ is an astrocyte-derived extracellular matrix that provides the necessary biochemical and mechanical cues to allow for the differentiation, maturation, and assay of mature neural cell types.
  • Mr. Hutchens concluded, "StemBioSys has repeatedly demonstrated that NeuroMatrix™ contains cues necessary to elicit biologically relevant phenotypes in vitro.
