We’ve long speculated that adding fluid flow over our tissue models would reduce the concentration of pro-inflammatory factors secreted in response to inflammatory challenges, dampening the overall inflammatory state compared to static culture. We now have evidence that this is true and the results are important as benchmarks for our future studies. In response to…

Quality Systems meetings are moving to Wednesdays only: 9:30 -10:00 AM Progress meetings will be on Tuesdays 9:00 – 10:00 AM starting in Spring. One more 4 PM meeting planned…
Introduction Over the past few months, I have been characterizing and comparing iPSC-derived monocytes (iMonocytes) with peripheral blood-derived (PB) monocytes. As I wrap up these experiments, we’ve decided to look at marker expression on iMonocytes and PB monocytes once they have been polarized to macrophages by culturing the iMonocytes or PB monocytes with HTEN051 fibroblasts…
Introduction During the January TraCe-bMPS progress meeting, Jon Flax presented some interesting findings in the iPSC-derived extended endothelial culture method brain microvascular endothelial cell-like cells (EECM-BMECs, hereafter referred to as BMECs) [1]. While these BMECs tended to have high expression of most transmembrane transport proteins, they had relatively low expression of p-glycoprotein (ABCB1/MDR1) (Figure 1)….
