Tempo-iMSC™
Human iPSC-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Mesenchymal stem cells (“MSCs”) are non-haematopoietic, multipotent stromal stem cells that can differentiate into a variety of cell types, including: osteoblasts, chondrocytes, myocytes, and adipocytes. Tempo-iMSCTM are human iPSC-derived mesenchymal stem cells. Tempo-iMSCTM express cell surface markers such as CD73, CD90, CD166, and CD105, in addition to Oct4 and Nanog. This expression profile is predictive of the long-term proliferative capacity of cultured human MSCs (see reference: here). MSCs have immunomodulatory features, secrete cytokines and immune-receptors which regulate the microenvironment in the host tissue and they have multi-lineage potentials for a variety of cell types. MSCs can be used in a variety of screening applications, from screening biologics and small molecules to siRNAs. Due to MSCs’ ability to self-renew (= growth without differentiation), they are easily scalable for running large-scale assays.
