Who are NINDS? The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) was established in 1950 and is a part of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). Its mission is to seek fundamental knowledge about the brain and nervous system to reduce the burden of neurological disease for all people. NINDS aims to provide […]

iPSC Reprogramming Services for Research
In the last several years iPSC reprogramming services from cells to induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has become increasingly common among researchers and pharmaceutical companies. The process of iPSC generation involves the reprogramming of a mature, terminally differentiated cell into a pluripotent one, which has the ability to differentiate into any cell type in the […]
4 Major reasons researchers are outsourcing Neural Progenitor Cell (NPC) differentiation
Why are researchers outsourcing NPC Differentiation? NPC Differentiation applications can be vast, and could revolutionize treatment of neurological diseases – but why outsource it? Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) are a type of multipotent, adult stem cell that possess the ability to differentiate into neural cells. NPCs differentiate into the glial and neural cell types that […]

We are proud to be the sole distributor for the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). The repository contains extensive biomaterials that can be requested by scientists worldwide. The NINDS biobank stem cell collection currently contains 411 subjects, 169 of which have iPSC and 270 of which have fibroblasts and represents several neurodegenerative […]
5 reasons why researchers are choosing to outsource CRISPR gene editing
In recent years, CRISPR-Cas9 has emerged as a revolutionary gene-editing tool that has transformed the field of precision medicine, since it offers researchers a relatively inexpensive means to edit the DNA of a cell with precision and ease.
