Cardiomyocytes (CMs) derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) are considered a promising platform for multiple applications, including disease modeling, regenerative medicine, screening of drug toxicity and investigation of cardiomyogenesis. Despite remarkable improvement in methodology enabling differentiation of hiPSCs into CMs, applied protocols generate heterogeneous cell populations composed of CMs along with differentiated non-cardiac cell-types and undifferentiated hiPSCs. Here we describea procedure of automated Magnetic-Activated Cell Sorting (autoMACS) for the purification of hiPSCs-derived CMs under sterile culture conditions. We illustrate that this approach led to a robust depletion of non-cardiac cells and enrichment of CMs, a result particularly crucial for hiPSC lines with poor cardiac differentiation efficiencies.

Background: The prognosis of a plasma cell neoplasm (PCN) varies depending on the presence of genetic abnormalities. However, detecting sensitive genetic mutations poses challenges due to the heterogeneous nature of the cell population in bone marrow aspiration. The established gold standard for cell sorting is fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS), which is associated with lengthy processing times, substantial cell quantities, and expensive equipment.

Reciprocal communication between reactive astrocytes and microglial cells provides local, coordinated control over critical processes such as neuroinflammation, neuroprotection, and scar formation after CNS injury, but is poorly understood. The vasoactive peptide hormone endothelin (ET) is released and/or secreted by endothelial cells, microglial cells and astrocytes early after ischemic stroke and other forms of brain injury. To better understand glial cell communication after stroke, we sought to identify paracrine effectors produced and secreted downstream of astroglial endothelin receptor B (ETB) signaling.

Effluents containing antibiotics raise concerns due to their potential to promote or sustain bacterial resistance and disrupt essential cycles and processes critical to aquatic ecology, agriculture, and animal farming. Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic, recognized as the treatment for cases in which other antibiotics are unsuccessful. The efficient elimination of antibiotics plays a crucial role in managing antibiotic pollution.

Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapy, which targets CD19 for hematological malignancies, represents a breakthrough in cancer immunotherapy. However, some patients may develop resistance to CAR-T treatment, underscoring the importance of optimizing CAR-T design to enhance responsiveness. Here, we investigated the impact of different subpopulations in anti-CD19 CAR-T cells on the tumoricidal effect.

Methods: 6 healthy cats were used in this study. Blood was collected, and CD3+ primary T cells were enriched by magnetic activated cell sorting, expanded, and used to generate CAR T cells.
