Licensing Agreement to Promote Use of Human Embryonic Neural Stem Cells

By Biotechdaily staff writers
Posted on 20 Mar 2007
A licensing agreement has been signed that will enable Millipore Corporation (Billerica, MA, USA) to market and distribute a novel line of human neural progenitor cells (stem cells) manufactured by Aruna Biomedical Inc. More...
(Athens, GA, USA).

Millipore has been granted an exclusive worldwide license to market the neural progenitor cells under the brand name ENStem as a component of a research kit that will also contain optimized growth media and substrates. The kit should be of particular interest to researchers studying Alzheimer's disease, spinal cord injury, or depression.

"By partnering with Aruna Biomedical, we can offer our customers a vast array of novel stem cell products and technologies,” said Patrick Schneider, vice president of the research reagents division of Millipore. "This agreement further supports Millipore's commitment to providing tools that accelerate stem cell research worldwide.”

"The potential impact of this product on the neural research community could be astounding,” commented Steven Stice, CEO of Aruna Biomedical. "By accelerating the pace of neurological research for tens of thousands of scientists, we hope to provide patients with possible therapies and treatments for debilitating neurological diseases and spinal cord injuries sooner than imagined.”

The platform combines broad-range amplification using conserved regions of the 16S and 23S rRNA genes with species-specific CRISPR recognition. Fluorescence-coded CRISPR droplets are paired with sample droplets containing amplified products, enabling multiplexed target recognition and signal decoding (Image Credit: Yiwen Yang, Jingsong Xu, Dakang Xu)
