The Biocompare Cells and Microorganisms search tool is a diverse catalog of primary cells, cell lines, and microbial strains from many suppliers. Cell lines include stable immortalized lines, cells overexpressing target genes, hybridomas, reporter cell lines, and knockout cells. It features cells from various lineages, including myeloid and lymphoid cells, neuronal cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, hepatocytes, myocytes, and more. Users can also search for specific cells based on tissue type or host species, providing flexibility for a wide array of research applications. Important considerations when choosing cells for research include cell line authentication, culturing requirements, genetic or phenotypic modifications, and the intended downstream application. Inspect the product datasheets from the cell supplier pages for more detailed information.
While pluripotent embryonic stem cells are limited to the early inner cells within blastocysts, adult stem cells and progenitor cells can be found in a variety of tissues. In humans, well known sources of transplantable stem cells are the bone marrow, blood, and adipose tissue. Multipotent mesenchymal stem cells are typically found in umbilical cord tissue and blood. Neural stem cells have been have been isolated from the brain and spinal cord. Stem cell lines propagated from embryonic stem cells, other adult stem cells, or induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines are also common sources used in research and regenerative medicine. To help choose the right stem cell product, simply check the desired categories or enter keywords in the search boxes.
