Research Projects
The following
are a sampling of the research projects that have been or are being conducted
by Regenetech.
PROJECTS CONDUCTED
IN THE REGENETECH LAB
- Development of
a specific hematopoietic stem cell counting system of multi-color
flowcytometry with ISHAGE strategies
- In vitro expansion
of canine peripheral blood and bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells.
(3) Evaluation and comparison of Fibroblast and MSC as supporting
cells in co-culture with hematopoietic stem cells
- Skin-like structure
formed in co-cultures of keratinocytes and fibroblasts as well as
keratinocytes and MSC.
- In vitro expansion
of human peripheral blood and bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells
for the treatment of heart diseases.
- Effects of low
oxygen culture on HSC expansion and differentiation: Induction of
erythrocyte lineage
- Evaluation of
rotation-based bio-reactor in comparison of static culture for HSC
ex vivo expansion
- Effects of different
culture materials, cytokines and media on HSC expansion and differentiation
- Establishment
of Regenetech standard (RGst) methods for the expansion of G-CSF mobilized
peripheral blood, cord blood and bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells
as well as MSC
- Effects of cell
density on rotation-based bio-reactor HSC culture
- Application of
Teflon Bag in Rotation culture system
- Comparison of
cytokines from different manufacturers in expanding HSC
- Effects of HEPES
on the proliferation and differentiation of HSC
- Decreased CD38
expression of HSC in the culture with serum free media
- Effects of TVEMF
on the expansion of HSC
- Expansion of
unpurified HSC (buffy-coat culture)
- Directed induction
of Dendritic cells using in vitro expanded HSC
- Assessment of
differentiation states of hematopoietic stem cells following in vitro
culture using side and forward scatter of flow cytometry
- Assessment of
Aldehyde Dehydrogenase as a marker to be used in stem cell expansion
studies

of TVEMF on healing of bone fracture in rabbits
- Enhancement of
immune response to cancer cell inoculation, Influenza virus infection
and vaccination in immune-deficient and immune-compromised (including
aged) recipients with ex vivo expanded HSC transplantation
- Comparison of
engraftment efficiencies of expanded HSC following the cultures with
different bio-reactors and different programs
PLANNED OR
INITIATED STUDIES
- Directed differentiation
of expanded stem cells, including induction of insulin-producing cells,
hepatocyte-like cells, neurocytes, immunocytes, etc.
- Tissue construction:
skin-like tissue, cartilage, muscles, and more
- Expansion and
directed differentiation of iPS cells
