WEBINAR: Getting cell therapies to IND faster: the advantages of off-the-shelf GMP iPSCs with a DMF

In the rapidly evolving cell therapy regulatory landscape, getting your cell therapy candidate to IND can be challenging. The process of procuring suitable donor material, reprogramming the cells under GMP requirements, and characterizing the iPSCs burns time and money.

Join our COO, Tim Largen, in our upcoming webinar as he discusses how off-the-shelf iPSC technology covered by a DMF benefits cell therapy development and overcomes the associated regulatory challenges.

We are thrilled to announce that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted our Type II Drug Master File (DMF) for our ActiCells™ GMP Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (hiPSC) line.

This milestone underscores our company’s commitment to empowering scientists to accelerate their cell therapy development by providing high-quality, regulatory-compliant iPSC solutions.

Our CEO Ruby Tsai, Ph.D., is excited because “By providing a fully characterized, regulatory-ready iPSC platform, we empower researchers to accelerate development while reducing manufacturing and regulatory hurdles.”

These manufacturing and regulatory hurdles are time-consuming—many patients don’t have the time for hurdles. By reducing these hurdles, our ActiCells™ GMP hiPSC line brings us closer to a future where treatments are more accessible.

TARGATT™ large knock-in technology is fueling advances in gene therapy development 💥

To lower costs and timelines for AAV production, our partners at CHO Plus unleashed the full power of cell line engineering with our TARGATT™ large knock-in technology.

While CHO Plus has not yet put the TARGATT™ technology into their optimized HEK293 cell lines that increase viral titer up to 4x and % full capsids up to 2x, they already see much better production of capsids in the cell line with a payload gene stably integrated into the H11 locus using TARGATT™ technology.

Hear Larry Forman, Founder and CEO of CHO Plus, present his team’s promising findings in the video below.

Enabling you to unleash the full power of life-saving biology ❤️

What if there was a treatment for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to decrease the prevalence of sudden cardiac death? Greer-Short et al. set out to tackle this disease with two challenges to overcome: restoring cardiac function and optimizing the regulatory elements in the vector to do so.

Greer-Short et al. investigated the genetic basis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy to target and treat the loss-of-function mutations in Myosin Binding Protein C3 (MYBPC3). In doing so, they created a method to improve the efficiency of their regulatory elements while meeting the size constraints of the AAV vector. The results from this packaging method showed restoration of cardiac function in MYBPC3 Exon1-Exon2 knockout mice, with an improvement in cardiac phenotypes and life expectancy.

We are excited about the critical research efforts of Greer-Short et al., and we are proud to have engineered the MYBPC3 Exon1-Exon2 knock-out mice used in their study that helped power their success. Please join us in celebrating the researchers’ contribution to gene therapy development that aims to reduce the prevalence of sudden cardiac death.

At Applied StemCell, we offer custom mouse gene-editing services for disease model generation, enabling research and powering the advanced therapeutics of tomorrow. Let's work together to unleash the full power of life-saving biology.
