- UPDATED: Transforming biomedical waste into a cell culture supplementEvery year, thousands of therapeutic platelet units reach the end of their short 5-day shelf life and are discarded. Even though they are no longer usable for patients, they remain biochemically rich. More than 50–60% of prepared platelets worldwide go unused for transfusion, contributing to biomedical waste. But what if these expired platelets could be… Read more: UPDATED: Transforming biomedical waste into a cell culture supplement
- Survey Report I: Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) Usage and the Demand for AlternativesData collected between 25 March 2025 to 03 October 2025 Executive Summary This report analyses survey data from 65 professionals across academia and industry regarding their use of Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) in cell culture. The data revealed a near-universal reliance on FBS, though a significant majority of respondents report experiencing issues with its use.… Read more: Survey Report I: Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) Usage and the Demand for Alternatives
- Journal Club- 04/07/2025This recent multinational study, led by Delabie et al. and published in Stem Cell Research & Therapy (2025), offers a breakthrough. The research marks the first coordinated effort to standardize hPL manufacturing across three European blood establishments—in Belgium, Iceland, and the Netherlands—using a harmonized protocol while preserving each center’s unique platelet sources. Why standardization matters?… Read more: Journal Club- 04/07/2025
