Cold chain storage and distribution of therapeutic mammalian cell cultures including stem cells using sol-gel technology

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Transport of cell cultures represents a significant distribution problem both for laboratory supply companies and for emerging therapeutics companies in the area of cell therapies and regenerative medicine. None of the current distribution solutions is ideal, involving a combination of complex, specialised, logistics with high costs and/or limited delivery time windows. This project will be aimed at further development of our recently invented novel technology for maintaining mammalian cell cultures in a quiescent state through short term storage and transport. It will be focused on the evaluation of the applicability of this novel technology as an effective ambient and/or cold chain temperature solution to an existing distribution problem affecting a broad range of human/mammalian cell cultures used or intended for use in cell based therapies.
