International Stem Cell Discovers Method to Produce Uncontaminated Liver Cells ...
CARLSBAD, Calif.--( BUSINESS WIRE )--International Stem Cell Corporation (OTCBB:ISCOE) announces the discovery of a novel, patent-pending technology to produce unlimited numbers of liver cells (hepatocytes) that are free of contamination with potentially dangerous undifferentiated cells. The technology is based on the natural, physiological properties of the cellular environment, and does not require any additional purification of the final product. The starting materials for the production are pluripotent stem cells, either ISCO’s proprietary human parthenogenetic stem cells (hpSCs) or human embryonic stem cells (hESCs).
The technology is described in a new article that will appear in Cell Transplantation, the Regenerative Medicine Journal (currently the article is available only in electronic form). The published data also reinforce that hpSCs can provide the cellular material necessary for the implementation of cell-based therapies.
Marie Csete, M.D., Ph.D., co-author of the paper, said, “Derivation of differentiated cell products that are not contaminated with undifferentiated cells solves a major technical roadblock in the development of all pluripotent stem cell-based therapies because undifferentiated stem cells with tumorigenic potential can persist through long differentiation protocols. Therefore methods to generate pure differentiated cells for transplantation are critical for creating successful cell therapies. Furthermore, the elegant technology developed by ISCO scientists to enforce critical steps in differentiation illustrates the power and importance of basic engineering tools in stem cell biology.”
Nikolay Turovets, Ph.D., Director of Research and Therapeutic Development at ISCO and co-author of the paper stated, “The technology discovered by our research team is based on reproducing features of the normal human embryonic microenvironment. The method uses a differentiation device that incorporates a three-dimensional extracellular matrix, combined with a porous membrane. Treatment of undifferentiated cells above the membrane using differentiation-directed proteins results in permitting the desired cells to migrate through the membrane into the matrix, where they further differentiate into functional hepatocytes.
