Regenetech 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
  • Effects of RWV and TVEMF culture on gene expression of osteoblasts and chondrocytes: an RT-PCR study

COLLABORATION PROJECTS IN THIRD-PARTY LABS

  • Effects of RWV culture on gene expression of HSC: a microarray study
  • Engraftment study of HSC cultured in RWV system
  • Gene karyotyping study of HSC cultured in RWV system
  • Cord blood HSC culture in RWV system
  • Therapeutic effects 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
