Derivation of Functional Human Platelets from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-derived Megakaryocytes Using a 3D-Microfluidic BioreactorTuesday, 11 July 2017 at 14:00  Add to Calendar ▼2017-07-11 14:00:002017-07-11 15:00:00Europe/LondonDerivation of Functional Human Platelets from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell-derived Megakaryocytes Using a 3D-Microfluidic BioreactorSELECTBIOenquiries@selectbiosciences.comTo produce donor-independent platelets applicable for clinical use, we are advancing a serum-free and feeder-free protocol to generate functional megakaryocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells. Human platelets can be efficiently produced from these megakaryocytes using our scalable microfluidic bioreactor that uses shear forces to trigger platelet production from these cells. Further scale-up of our device will enable cost-effective production of clinically relevant quantities of platelets, facilitating progression towards clinical trials. |
