Stem Cells
Stem cells, also known as progenitor cells, are undifferentiated pluripotent cells with the ability to self-replicate and differentiate into different types of cells. They can self-renew and produce specific types of cells, such as muscle cells, nerve cells, heart cells, etc. Stem cells are widely used in medical research and treatment of various diseases due to their powerful regenerative capabilities.
Stem Cells for BBB Modeling
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a highly selective barrier that separates blood circulation from brain tissue. It plays a vital role in maintaining brain homeostasis by tightly regulating the movement of molecules, nutrients and cells between the blood and brain. Researchers create personalized BBB models by differentiating stem cells, such as induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), into brain endothelial cells (BECs) to study individual differences in drug transport and disease mechanisms. In addition, researchers also use stem cells to design three-dimensional (3D) BBB models to study cell-cell interactions, barrier integrity, and drug penetration. Compared with traditional two-dimensional cell culture systems, 3D BBB models better simulate the complex structure and physiology of the BBB and can more realistically reflect the in vivo environment.
Overall, stem cells provide more possibilities for constructing BBB models, which helps researchers study the development, function, and dysfunction of the BBB in a controlled laboratory environment, thereby further elucidating neurodegenerative diseases, brain developmental disorders and potential mechanisms of drug delivery to the brain.
Ace Therapeutics provides a variety of, high-quality stem cells including iPSCs, embryonic stem cells, adult stem cells and iPSC-derived cells that can be used individually or in combination to create in vitro models of the BBB that mimic its physiological properties and functions. Our stem cells for BBB modeling are cultured and differentiation according to standardized procedures to ensure stable cell quality between different batc.
Additionally, we offer a variety of supplement media designed to balance and replenish specific cell types thus maximizing their life expectancy.

CD34+ cells are targeted using uniform, superparamagnetic polymer beads coated with a primary monoclonal antibody specific for the CD34 membrane antigen predominantly expressed on human hematopoietic progenitor cells and endothelial progenitor cells. The isolated cells are poured off into a new tube and are cryogenically preserved.inquiry BBM-C-171 Human Cord Blood CD34/CD133+ Progenitor Cells CD34 is a well-known marker for primitive and bone marrow-derived progenitor cells, especially for hematopoietic and endothelial progenitors. CD34+ progenitor cells are suitable for a series of studies for directed differentiation into more committed types of blood cells and endothelial lineages. Immediately after isolation, the freshly prepared CD34+ progenitor cells are cryopreserved using a serum-free freezing medium. The majority of CD133+ cells also express CD34. Cord blood CD133+ cells are isolated using direct positive immunomagnetic selection for CD133+ cells.

All cell lines are tested to be free of any transgene vector insertion by PCR analysis and thus are authentic footprint-free iPSCs. These lines have all been passaged long-term (up to P30) without differentiation in optimized human iPSC culture media in the presence of inactivated REF or MEF feeder cells. These lines may have greater propensity to differentiate into Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) or other mesoderm cells due to epigenetic memory.
