The IEM CAS achieves success in the field of applied research! In cooperation with Bioinova, a.s. (open in a new window), we have obtained a European patent for a special solution for the preservation, transport and application of stem cells. Why is it revolutionary?

The solution, based on a buffer water solution of trehalose, allows:

  • Safe storage of stem cells at temperatures ranging from -4 °C to 25 °C (usually 4-6 °C).
  • Long-term cell viability (at least 72 hours).
  • Direct use of cells for application without the need for further manipulation.

What is the solution used for? The solution containing stem cells offers a wide range of applications, for example, for the treatment of:

  • Inflammatory and degenerative diseases
  • Neurodegenerative diseases
  • Wound and burn healing
  • Injuries and developmental defects
  • Diabetes, cardiac and oncological diseases

Congratulations to the authors, and we look forward to further research and innovation successes!
