  • ACCELERATION OF STEM CELL DIFFERENTIATION
    Publication number: 20260071177
    Abstract: Provide herein are compositions, methods and kits to accelerate pluripotent stem cell differentiation.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 16, 2025
    Publication date: March 12, 2026
    Inventors: Patrick Joseph Walsh, James Robert Dutton, Ann Margaret Parr
  • CRYOGENIC COOLING APPARATUS AND RELATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20250257909
    Abstract: An apparatus for cooling one or more samples includes a cryostat with a first wall forming an inner chamber with an opening for receiving the one or more samples. A second wall forms an outer chamber adapted to insulate the inner chamber and a channel leading to the opening of the inner chamber. A seal selectively seals the opening to the inner chamber, and a cryocooler thermally links to the inner chamber, such as by way of a flexible strap. The inner chamber may entirely surround the outer chamber, and yet via the channel allow for the removal of the one or more samples from the inner chamber while maintaining the evacuated outer chamber. The inner chamber may also be fully contained within the outer chamber, which may be evacuated. Related methods are also disclosed.
