Scientists continue to make progress with induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which have the potential to transform medicine due to their capacity to develop into numerous types of cells that can be employed for treatment. Reprogramming somatic cells to induce iPSCs has provided great value, which can be developed into a variety of tissue types. Researchers now have the resources they need to push iPSC research further as a result of recent significant advances in iPSC...

iPSCs hold immense potential in disease modeling and drug screening, and ensuring their pluripotency and viability is crucial to realizing their application value. "Therefore, particular emphasis is placed on iPSC pluripotency characterization services," stated an expert in the field.   Validating and detecting iPSC pluripotency markers significantly benefits subsequent proliferation and differentiation. A series of solutions has been designed to monitor cell pluripotency and genomic...

The complement system is a critical component of the innate immune system, orchestrating a cascade of reactions to recognize and eliminate pathogens, while promoting inflammation. However, overactivation of the complement system can lead to various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.   The complement system comprises a group of serum proteins that can be activated through three pathways: the classical, alternative, and lectin pathways. These pathways converge to generate C3 convertase,...
