MyoPod® Engineered Heart Tissues using iCell® Cardiomyocytes are physiologically relevant in vitro models for evaluating safety and efficacy of vector-based gene therapies. Wednesday, December 4th, 2024  •  10:00 AM CST MyoPod® Engineered Heart Tissues (EHT) are fully functional, mature, and machine-readable cardiac tissues generated by seeding human iPSC derived cardiomyocytes into decellularized myocardial matrix. The EHTs [...]

During this webinar, we reviewed the exciting scientific research FCDI presented at Neuroscience 2024 as four 10-minute talks. Key topics include: Optimization of cytokine release assays for iCell® Microglia and the role of healthy microglia and TREM2 variants in neuroprotection and neurodegeneration. Assays to evaluate iCell Sensory Neurons function and techniques to investigate immune-mediated neuropathic [...]

Neurodegenerative diseases continue to be a challenge in the development of effective drug treatments by the pharmaceutical industry. This is due to the diversity of genetics and environmental factors that impact disease risk as well as the difficulty in modeling the complex anatomy and interplay of brain cells in vitro. Human induced pluripotent stem cell [...]

Macrophages are present throughout every tissue type in the human body. They play important roles in maintaining homeostasis, immune surveillance, tissue repair, and debris clearance. In this webinar, we will showcase the first-to-market source of full function, cryopreserved, human iPSC-derived macrophages. These cells, iCell Macrophages 2.0, can be used in a variety of applications and [...]

Join FCDI scientists for an informative presentation and discussion on advancing drug discovery across cardiac, hepatic, neural, and immune systems. We will share data-driven examples and case studies, leveraging FCDI’s recently developed platforms. Each discussion will be chock full of insights, takeaways, and opportunities for future implementation. iCell Macrophages 2.0 - Full Function, Cryopreserved Macrophages [...]

Cardiotoxicity is one of the most common adverse drug effects as unwanted drug interactions with cardiac ion channels could induce lethal arrhythmias by affecting cardiac electrophysiology. For these reasons, physiological assays that measure cardiomyocyte function are particularly important to reveal drug effects and discover new therapeutic targets. Human iPSC-derived cardiac cell models enable recapitulation of [...]

This webinar features three 10-minute talks previewing the exciting scientific research FCDI will present at SfN Neuroscience 2023. In this webinar you’ll get a glimpse into: The evaluation of iCell Sensory Neurons for use in pain and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy research. The benefits of serum-free iCell Astrocytes 2.0 cultures for modeling neuroinflammation. The utility of [...]

In this webinar we discuss utilizing differentiated cells from human iPSCs to build relevant 3D models for drug discovery and disease modeling. Fujifilm Cellular Dynamics is the market leader for high value differentiated cells derived from human iPSC. These cells are critical for disease modeling, toxicity assessment, and for providing highly relevant human model systems….
