  • APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR DELIVERY OF CELL SUSPENSION
    Publication number: 20230071939
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for monitoring and delivering a cell suspension. In certain examples, the apparatus comprises a reservoir containing the cell suspension, a cannula, and a liquid transfer mechanism configured to transfer the cell suspension from the reservoir to the cannula. The apparatus can also comprise an agitation mechanism to agitate the cell suspension, and a monitoring device to quantify a concentration of cells transferred from the reservoir to the cannula.

  • METHODS FOR DIFFERENTIATING PLURIPOTENT CELLS
    Publication number: 20200172862
    Abstract: Methods are provided, in some aspects, for differentiating pluripotent cells into midbrain dopaminergic (DA) neurons using a mono-SMAD inhibition or inhibition of SMAD signaling with only one SMAD inhibitor. In some embodiments, mono-SMAD inhibition utilizes a single inhibitor of bone morphogenic protein (BMP) for differentiating pluripotent cells into midbrain DA neurons.
