New stem cell tools to aid drug development
Date:9/2/2008

d that these synthetic molecules were not sensitive to light and therefore did not degrade.

The scientists are now developing a 'molecular toolkit' of synthetic compounds which are tailor made for specific stem cell and drug development work.

The project was funded in part by Reinnervate, the regional development agency, One NorthEast, Durham University, High Force Research Ltd., NESCI, and by research councils the MRC, EPSRC, BBSRC.

The close collaboration between chemists and biologists is critical to achieving this type of breakthrough.

Via a related collaboration with Durham University polymer chemist, Professor Neil Cameron, Reinnervate is also marketing a unique plastic scaffold to drug developers, which allows stem cells and other tissue to be grown in the laboratory in conditions similar to the way they grow in the human body. Extensive tests have shown the technology is a cheap and straightforward way of cultivating cells in three-dimensional forms.
