I have been using R&D / Bio-Techne perhaps for the last maybe 20 years, ever since I was a graduate student. My lab would exclusively use R&D products. I've found R&D / Bio-Techne to be extremely reliable.
The Bio-Techne products that we’re using, we love and what we're using are cytokines, growth factors and we have been using them since the beginning. I mean our core started in 2008 and we really have not changed.
So in our stem cell core facility, we do a lot of differentiation into different progenies. For all this differentiation we use a number of different cytokines, growth factors and we buy them all from R&D Systems or Tocris.
We had very good experience with R&D cytokines as well as antibodies. We didn't find any lot-to-lot variation with the cytokines and antibodies. So, in general, we're very pleased.
The product, the reproducibility has been consistent, and we've seen that everything works, everything is good, and now a lot of the products we buy and we don't lot test and we haven't had issues. Everything has been excellent and has worked beautifully.
About Stem Cells
The defining characteristics of stem cells, i.e. their ability to self-renew and differentiate, make them a valuable resource in medical research and therapy. Directed differentiation of stem cells can provide insights into embryonic development, generate organ-like structures (organoids), and help us understand complex disease processes.
Stem cells are unspecialized cells that are capable of self-renewal through mitotic cell division, even after long periods of inactivity. Stem cell differentiation gives rise to the endoderm, ectoderm, and mesoderm germ layers which develop into the specialized cells of a tissues and organs.
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are found in the inner cell mass of blastocysts, adult (or somatic) stem cells maintain the populations of specific cell types, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are produced by the reprogramming of somatic cells, and cancer stem cells (CSCs) reside in tissues where they give rise to local tumors. Hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) differentiate into the myeloid and lymphoid immune cell lineages. Multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) give rise to adipocytes, chondrocytes, osteocytes, and cardiomyocytes. Neural stem cells (NSC) can differentiate into neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes.
Owing to their tissue regenerative potential, stem cells can be utilized to repair or replace old or damaged cells, and this property is valuable in regenerative medicine. Stem cells offer the potential for treating many diseases including cancer, neurodegeneration, musculoskeletal disorders, heart disease, and diabetes. 3-dimensional cultures and organoids based on differentiated stem cells reproduce some functions of native tissues and are valuable for toxicology studies and drug discovery.
