We enhanced the lineage support of @STEMCELLTech MegaCult, which contains IL-3, IL-6, SCF, TPO, and EPO, by adding G-CSF, M-CSF, and GM-CSF, which we’ve dubbed “UltraCult.” This reduces biases in multipotent myeloid progenitor differentiation introduced by culture medium alone.
Excited to share our paper in Experimental Hematology @ISEHSociety “Assay Optimization for the Objective Quantification of Human Multilineage Colony Forming Units” https://t.co/Tc6MwqYa2l. Many thanks to @nih_nhlbi, @NIDDKgov, @NIGMS, and @YaleCCEH for supporting our work!
Coupled with high content imaging, this method efficiently captures the results of CFU assays. These pseudo-colored plate scans can then be analyzed remotely by multiple individuals, saved for training of new lab members, or revisited to confirm results at a later time.
Remember 5 years ago.
Now, look at the wealth of talent UConn has at the AD-level and the coaches of ALL of our programs.
The culture has changed, the facilities have changed, and the results have changed. This is nothing but extraordinary.
Champions at everything we do.
