Cryo Preservation of Stem Cells

Home

Stem cell therapy research has literally exploded during the last few months. Studies continue to show that stem cell research, therapies, and development of procedures offer hope for treatments of diseases that range from hair loss to blood cell formation to diabetes, leukemia, hard damage, brain-damaged and spinal cord injuries. Millions of people in the United States will be able to benefit from stem cell research in the coming years.
The demand for embryonic and non-embryonic stem cell tissues and samples has grown by leaps and bounds in the past few years. Pharmaceutical as well as biotechnology research institutions, universities, and private companies are or have been encouraged to develop regenerative stem cell therapies. The problem with that is that supply outweighs the demand for such stem cells for research and development purposes. Because many stem cells are lost in the cultivation process as well as storage measures and transportation issues, cryopreservation is also seeking to improve techniques and methods to store and safeguard such valuable components for ongoing research needs.

The delivery of stem cells for the advancement of such research and programs will need to undergo changes and improvements in order to ensure a constant supply. Biotechnology companies are in the process of developing anti-aging glycoproteins for this use. Currently, this process is used mainly in the cosmetic industry, but the future needs of viable stem cells may help to provide advancements in this area as well.
