Data Figures

Figure 1. Immune Cells Cryopreserved in CryoStor®CS10 Show Reproducibly High Post-Thaw Cell Viability

CryoStor®CS10 effectively mitigates temperature-induced molecular cell stress responses to maximize post-thaw viability and recovery for a variety of immune cell types, including T cells (data not shown) and B cells. Here, human B cells from 6 different donors cryopreserved in CryoStor®CS10 show reproducibly high viability after thawing, as measured by Propidium Iodide staining (ranging from 94.3 - 97.9%).

Figure 2. Immune Cells Cryopreserved in CryoStor®CS10 Retain Functionality Post-Thaw

(A) Human peripheral blood Pan-T cells cryopreserved in CryoStor®CS10 were thawed and cultured with or without the addition of T cell activating factors. Cells from Donors 1-3 were cultured in RPMI Medium supplemented with 10% FBS, with (activated) or without (control) 40 ng/mL PMA and 1 ug/mL Ionomycin for 24 hours. Cells from Donors 4-5 were cultured in ImmunoCult™-XF T Cell Expansion Medium (Catalog #10981), with (activated) or without (control) ImmunoCult™ Human CD3/CD28 T Cell Activator (Catalog #10971) for 48 hours. Supernatants were collected from the cultures, and concentrations of secreted cytokines were determined using the Human IL-2 ELISA Kit (Catalog #02006). Activation by either PMA and Ionomycin or ImmunoCult™ Human CD3/CD28 T Cell Activator led to increased secretion of IL-2 compared to unstimulated control cultures. (B) Human B cells (Donors 6 - 11) cryopreserved in CryoStor®CS10 were thawed and activated with 1 µg/mL CD40 and 100 ng/mL IL-21 for 7 days. Supernatants were collected from the cultures and immunoglobulin G (IgG) production was measured using the Human IgG ELISA Antibody Pair Kit (Catalog #01994). Compared to unstimulated control cultures, B cell activation led to increased IgG​ ​secretion.

An integrated patient-derived colon organoids platform as a functional model for nutraceutical and stress response. A. Costantino et al. iScience 2026 Jun

Abstract

Nutraceuticals are increasingly investigated for their capacity to modulate oxidative and inflammatory stress, yet preclinical testing still relies largely on immortalized cell lines or animal models that poorly recapitulate human epithelial complexity. To address this gap, we developed an integrated platform based on patient-derived colon organoids generated from non-tumoral mucosa and maintained under proliferative or differentiation conditions to model distinct epithelial states. The system combines millifluidic measurement of individual organoid mass, density, and diameter with bulk RNA sequencing and digital PCR profiling to enable multiparametric characterization. Transcriptional analysis revealed state-specific gene programs and shifts in epithelial and immune-related pathways, while biophysical measurements captured structural remodeling. In this pilot validation, a defined oxidative insult followed by nutraceutical treatment elicited coordinated transcriptional and phenotypic responses. This integrated approach provides a scalable and physiologically relevant framework for functional nutraceutical profiling and mechanistic studies of epithelial stress responses.
Detecting MUNC18-1 related presynaptic dysfunction and rescue in human iPSC-derived neurons M. Long et al. Scientific Reports 2025 Sep

Abstract

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) derived neurons are powerful tools to model disease biology in the drug development space. Here we leveraged a spectrum of neurophysiological tools to characterize iPSC-derived NGN2 neurons. Specifically, we applied these technologies to detect phenotypes associated with presynaptic dysfunction and rescue in NGN2 neurons lacking a synaptic vesicle associated protein MUNC18-1, encoded by syntaxin binding protein 1 gene (STXBP1). STXBP1 homozygous knock out NGN2 neurons lacked miniature post synaptic currents and demonstrated disrupted network bursting as assayed with multielectrode array and calcium imaging. Furthermore, knock out neurons released less glutamate into culture media, consistent with a presynaptic deficit. These synaptic phenotypes were rescued by reconstitution of STXBP1 protein by AAV transduction in a dose-dependent manner. Our results identify a complementary suite of physiological methods suitable to examine the modulation of synaptic transmission in human neurons.
Intra-articular delivery of allogeneic bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) for painful lumbar facet arthropathy: a phase I clinical trial W. Qu et al. Stem Cell Research & Therapy 2025 Oct

Abstract

ImportanceLumbar facet arthropathy (LFA) is one of the most common specific disorders associated with low back pain. Current treatments provide only symptomatic relief and are often limited in their long-term effectiveness.Objective To evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of intra-articular delivery of allogeneic BM-MSCs in patients with painful LFA.Design, setting, and participantsThis study was a prospective, Phase I, single-arm, open-label clinical trial. Ten patients with painful LFA were enrolled with nine completing the 2-year follow-up.InterventionsAll patients received a single intra-articular administration into two affected lumbar facet joints, with each joint injected 10 million allogeneic BM-MSCs suspended in 1 mL Lactated Ringer’s solution.Main outcomes and measures The primary endpoint was safety, as reflected by adverse events (AEs). Secondary endpoints (and the assessment tools) included low back pain (VAS), physical function (PROMIS CAT Physical Function), health status (PROMIS CATs), and the severity of facet joint degeneration on MRIs. The minimum clinically important difference (MCID) thresholds in this trial were pre-defined as a 50% reduction in low back pain (VAS), or an increase of 2.3 points on the PROMIS CAT Physical Function.ResultsThe procedures were well tolerated. There were no clinical signs of immune reaction to the allogeneic BM-MSCs. No study-related serious AEs were observed. Six patients achieved the MCID on VAS for pain at 6-, 12-, 18-, and 24-month follow-ups and five patients consistently met MCID for the PROMIS CAT Physical Function across all follow-up visits. MRIs showed reduced facet joint degeneration at one or more levels in five patients.Conclusions and relevanceThis study demonstrated a favorable safety profile for intra-articular delivery of BM-MSCs for painful LFA. Preliminary therapeutic benefits were observed, including back pain relief, improved physical function, and reduced facet joint degeneration. Further larger, randomized clinical trials are warranted to further assess its safety and efficacy.
