Accelerated Biosciences en Pluristyx kondigen de beschikbaarheid aan van human trophoblast stem cells (hTSC) afgeleide iPSC’s
iPSC’s beschikbaar via Pluristyx voor commerciële evaluatie
CARLSBAD, Californië–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Accelerated Biosciences, een innovator op het gebied van regeneratieve geneeskunde van propriëtaire human trophoblast stem cells (hTSC’s), heeft een overeenkomst aangekondigd voor Pluristyx, Inc., een bedrijf voor geavanceerde therapiehulpmiddelen en -diensten, om iPSC’s te leveren die zijn afgeleid van hTSC’s verkregen onder Good Tissue Practices (GTP) voor onderzoeksevaluatie.
Het vinden van de ideale bron van stamcellen blijft een uitdaging bij cel- en gentherapie. hTSC’s overwinnen deze uitdagingen omdat ze ethisch verantwoord, schaalbaar, immuun-bevoorrecht, pathogeenvrij en chromosomaal stabiel zijn, zelfs bij hoge populatieverdubbelingen. Als CDMO-partner van Accelerated Biosciences herprogrammeerde Pluristyx hTSC’s naar iPSC’s met een voetafdrukvrije, gepatenteerde mRNA-methode die zeer zuivere stamcellen oplevert met aangetoond vermogen om alle drie de weefseltypen te vormen, inclusief terminale differentiatie tot NK-cellen met superieure cytolytische activiteit. hTSC-iPSC’s zijn verkrijgbaar in het unieke Ready-to-Differentiate®-formaat (RTD®) van Pluristyx, waardoor snelle evaluatie mogelijk is doordat uitbreiding na ontdooien niet meer nodig is. Omdat hTSC-iPSC’s onder GTP worden aangekocht, kunnen commerciële partners indien nodig overstappen naar een versie van klinische kwaliteit.
Accelerated Biosciences and Pluristyx Announce Availability of Human Trophoblast Stem Cell (hTSC) Derived iPSCs
iPSCs available through Pluristyx for commercial evaluation
CARLSBAD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Accelerated Biosciences, a regenerative medicine innovator of proprietary human trophoblast stem cells (hTSCs), announced an agreement for Pluristyx, Inc., an advanced therapy tools and services biotechnology company, to provide iPSCs derived from hTSCs procured under Good Tissue Practices (GTP) for research evaluation.
Finding the ideal source of stem cells remains a challenge in cell and gene therapy. hTSCs overcome these challenges as they are ethically sourced, scalable, immune-privileged, pathogen-free, and chromosomally stable even at high population doublings. As Accelerated Biosciences’ CDMO partner, Pluristyx reprogrammed hTSCs to iPSCs with a footprint-free, proprietary mRNA method that yields highly pure stem cells with demonstrated capacity to form all three tissue types, including terminal differentiation into NK cells with superior cytolytic activity. hTSC-iPSCs are available in Pluristyx’s unique Ready-to-Differentiate® format (RTD®), allowing for rapid evaluation by eliminating the need for expansion out of thaw. Because hTSC-iPSCs are sourced under GTP, commercial partners can transition to a clinical-grade version when appropriate.
“We are thrilled to present our hTSC-iPSC platform as a new starting cell source for therapeutic companies. Our platform provides all of the business advantages and reduced risks. Clinical grade hTSC-iPSCs will be available in 2023 with a complete regulatory support package,” said Yuta Lee, Chief Executive Officer of Accelerated Biosciences.
“Pluristyx is excited to offer iPSCs derived from Accelerated Biosciences’ unique hTSC starting material. These iPSCs robustly form differentiated cells from all three lineages and are derived under GTP and they are not associated with any living human or embryo, making them an exceptional starting material for next generation cell-based therapies. Available in our RTD® format, interested groups can accelerate their internal evaluation and rapidly transition to a clinical-grade version suitable for therapeutic manufacturing,” said Benjamin Fryer, Chief Executive Officer of Pluristyx.
