Stabilization of cells and biological specimens for analysis

Compositions and methods for stabilizing rare cells in blood specimens, preserving the quality of blood specimens, and also serving as cell fixatives are disclosed which minimize losses of target cells (for example, circulating tumor cells) and formation of debris and aggregates from target cells, non-target cells and plasma components, thereby allowing more accurate analysis and classification of circulating tumor cells (CTC) and, ultimately, of tumor burdens in cancer patients. Stabilization of specimens is particularly desirable in protocols requiring rare cell enrichment from blood specimens drawn from cancer patients. Exposure of such specimens to potentially stressful conditions encountered, for example, in normal processing, mixing, shaking, delays due to transporting the blood, has been observed to not only diminish the number of CTC but also to generate debris and aggregates in the blood specimens that were found to interfere with accurate enumeration of target cells, if present. Stabilizers are necessary to discriminate between in vivo CTC disintegration and in vitro sample degredation.

Method and apparatus for pressure adaptive morphing structure

A method and apparatus for a novel adaptive aerostructure is presented that relies on certified aerospace materials and can therefore be applied in conventional passenger aircraft. This structure consists of a honeycomb material which cells extend over a significant length perpendicular to the plane of the cells. Each of the cells contains an inelastic pouch (or bladder) that forms a circular tube when the cell forms a perfect hexagon. By changing the cell differential pressure (CDP) the stiffness of the honeycomb can be altered. Using an external force or the elastic force within the honeycomb material, the honeycomb can be deformed such that the cells deviate from their perfect-hexagonal shape. It can be shown that by increasing the CDP, the structure eventually returns to a perfect hexagon. By doing so, a fully embedded pneumatic actuator is created that can perform work and substitute conventional low-bandwidth flight control actuators. It is shown that two approaches can be taken to regulate the stiffness of this embedded actuator.

The subject invention concerns novel and translatable materials and methods for expansion of stem cells, such as mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), that significantly improve translational success of the cells in the treatment of various conditions, such as stroke. The subject invention utilizes cell self-aggregation as a non-genetic means to enhance their therapeutic potency in a microcarrier bioreactor. The subject invention integrates a cell aggregation process in a scalable bioreactor system. In one embodiment of the method, thermally responsive microcarriers (TRMs) are utilized in conjunction with a bioreactor system. Cells are cultured in a container or vessel in the presence of the TRMs wherein cells adhere to the surface of the TRMs. Once cells are adhered to the TRMs they can be cultured at a suitable temperature for cell growth and expansion, e.g., at about 37° C. After a period of time sufficient for cell growth and expansion on the TRMs, the cell culture temperature is reduced so that the cells detach from the TRMs. The detached cells are allowed to form cell clusters that are then cultured under conditions such that the clusters aggregate to form 3D aggregates. The 3D aggregates can be collected and treated to dissociate the cells (e.g., using enzymatic treatment, such as trypsinization). Dissociated cells can then be used for transplantation in methods of treatment or for in vitro characterization and study.
