However, if you would prefer to unsubscribe from future e-mails, please send an e-mail to cellbank.brcriken.jp. =================================== - About RIKEN BRC Cell Bank =================================== The Cell Engineering Division of RIKEN BioResource Center is a not-for-profit public "cell bank" that accepts donations and deposits of human and animal cell materials developed by the life science research community. We examine, standardize, amplify, preserve, and provide cell materials to scientists around the world. The major cell materials used around the world have been cultured cell lines, i.e., immortalized cells. In fact, the majority of human cell materials are cancer cell lines. There is no doubt that the demand for these cell lines will never cease in the field of biology. In addition, stem cell lines such as embryonic stem (ES) cells and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells are of great value in current biology and medical sciences. In particular, disease-specific (patient-specific) iPS cells are very useful for researches of disease and drug discovery. In addition, the CRISPR/Cas9 technology, a recently established new genome-editing technology, is rapidly spreading in many fields of life sciences. We will collect and provide all kinds of such useful cell materials. Our work is accredited by ISO9001.
