Enrichment of Stem Cells from Adult Tissues

Detailed Technology Description: Researchers at LSU have developed a safe, simple and inexpensive method that allows for the enrichment of stem cells from heterogeneous adult cell populations without the utilization of expensive equipment or stem cell surface markers.

Countries: United States

Application No.: 8,501,397

*Abstract: The method is based on the principle that stem cells are generally more resistant to certain stresses. By exposing a heterogeneous cell population containing stem cells and non-stem cells to a variety of stresses including toxins, high temperature, high salt, and low oxygen, the non-stem cells are selectively destroyed, leaving only the stem cells intact in the population expressing high levels of stem cell markers. The resultant stem cells were able to proliferate and differentiate into other cell types. This cell culture-based method is suitable for large-scale stem cell enrichment.
