Download hPSC directed differentiation poster
Pluripotent stem cells have infinite capacity; they can self-renew indefinitely and differentiate to any cell in the body, given the right conditions. Directed differentiation of human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs) towards specific cell types, through defined culture conditions, provides significant promise in the field of regenerative medicine, drug discovery, and disease modelling.

Growth factors vs cytokines
Growth factors and cytokines are often used as interchangeable terms to describe the proteins involved with cell signaling. But, what is the difference between growth factors, cytokines and other cell signalers like hormones?

pep talk January 2022
Happy New Year! It’s five years since Marko and I founded Qkine, the time has flown. Highlights have been the wonderful feedback we’ve had from customers and launching innovative products such as the first true animal-free TGFβ1, tag-free thermostable FGF2-G3, and demonstrating the efficacy of HGF NK1 in hepatocyte differentiation.

the 5th anniversary of Qkine
There has been an impressive drive towards innovation in stem cell protocols this year. As 2021 comes to a close, we reflect on the highlights for stem cell science over the year. It was great to see new culture media, such as B8 and “Beefy-9”, published, developments in cultivated meat science hit the news and iPSC-based therapies edge closer to the clinic. Reproducibility remains the underlying theme, and indeed requirement, for maximising the impact of these wonderful developments and at Qkine we’ll continue to do everything we can to help in 2022.
