| InVitria's Cellastim Showcased in Nature Article
Fort Collins, CO-A study published in the scientific journal Nature examining embryonic stem cell self-renewal, reported that InVitria's (www.InVitria.com) Cellastim (recombinant human serum albumin) was an effective replacement to bovine serum albumin in ES-cell culture. The article entitled, "The ground state of embryonic stem cell self-renewal," disclosed that researchers used Cellastim as a recombinant albumin in place of animal-derived serum to eliminate contaminants in the cell culture. The Cellastim was a contributing factor in the enhancement of bulk passaging and clonal propagation . "This study further supports the use of InVitria's Cellastim as an enhancement to cell culture media," said InVitria President Scott Deeter. "Cellastim is the only supplement available that not only improves cell culture performance, but does so while maintaining a defined and animal free media."

Strategies for Improving Viral Yield in Vaccine Manufacturing
A recent article in Pharma Times titled "US biopharma: nearly 300 vaccines in R&D," points out that there are currently 300 vaccines either in clinical studies or under review by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While not all vaccines are cell culture derived vaccines, it does indicate that a large number of cell culture based viral vaccines are in the pipeline and that perhaps viral vaccine manufacturing should be examined. One area under consideration is how to improve viral yield so that vaccines can be made at lower cost ... Read More
