Physioxia Enhances the Pro-Regenerative Activity of MSCs
Zhidkova et al. of the Russian Academy of Sciences detail the crosstalk betwen ECs and MSCs co-cultured under physiological hypoxia, and how culturing under physiologically relevant conditions increases migration and anti-inflammatory modulation.

Simulating the Bone Marrow Microenvironment In Vitro Provides Insight on Anti-Leukemic Therapies
Congratulations to first author Pierre-Yves Dumas and team at University of Bordeaux on their findings first published August 13 in Clinical Cancer Research establishing that single agent use of gilteritinib in vitro displays greater anti-leukemic activity than quizartinib, when studied in oxygen conditions which mimic the hematopoietic niche (1% O2).

Reduce Microbial Risk in a Closed Cell Production System through Controlled Temperature and Humidity
Congratulations to senior author Alicia Henn and team at BioSpherix on their work published June 1, 2021 in BioPharm International establishing that microbial bioburden is reduced in a closed cell manufacturing system through using the physical attributes of the atmosphere rather than toxic disinfectants.
