Intelligent imaging, one step to success!

On January 2, the NMPA official website announced that the stem cell therapy 'Aimi Maito Sai' from Platinum Excellence Biotechnology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. has been approved for market launch, used fortreating acute graft-versus-host disease with hormone treatment failure primarily affecting the digestive tract in patients over 14 years old.This isthe first domestically approvedstem cell therapy, marking a significant milestone for similar therapies in the country.

Stem cell therapy

Let's learn about what stem cell therapy is. The approved therapy is a type of mesenchymal stem cell therapy, sourced from allogeneic umbilical cord cells. Mesenchymal stem cell therapy(Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy, abbreviated as MSCtherapy)is a method that uses mesenchymal stem cells for treatment. Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)are a type of pluripotent stem cells originating from the mesoderm, capable of self-renewal and multi-directional differentiation. By extracting these mesenchymal stem cells, culturing them in vitro, and injecting them into the patient's body, clinical applications such as immune regulation and tissue repair can be achieved.

Stem cell therapy typically includes the following stages:

Stem cell collection

Stem cells can be obtained from various sources, including bone marrow, adipose tissue, and umbilical cord blood. Equipment that may be used during the collection process includes carbon dioxide incubators, ultra-low temperature freezers,fully automatic high-throughput cell counters (one-click analysis of concentration, viability, and aggregation rate)etc.

Separation, purification, and expansion of stem cells

In the laboratory, stem cells need to be cultured under specific conditions to promote their proliferation and differentiation. During the culture process, the growth status of the cells needs to be monitored regularly to ensure their quality and safety. Equipment that may be used to monitor their growth status includescell thawing instruments, fully automatic high-throughput cell counters, etc.Cell thawing instruments can quickly thaw cells, making the operation more convenient compared to water bath thawing, achievingefficient, safe, and contamination-freethawing.

Induced differentiation of stem cells

According to treatment needs, we can induce the cultured stem cells to differentiate into specific cell types, such as nerve cells or cardiomyocytes. During this process, some equipment may be used, such as cell incubators andfully automatic multi-channel fluorescence cell analyzers,where the fluorescence cell analyzer canmeasure data such as the concentration, viability, and aggregation rate of target cells.Fluorescence cell analyzer

Before stem cell transplantation, patients need to undergo necessary preparations, such as the use of immunosuppressants, to reduce the risk of rejection.
