Laboratories : Case Study range includes highly validated neural stem cells , cortical neurons , dopaminergic neuron precursors and astrocytes from healthy and disease backgrounds including Alzheimer ' s and Huntington ' s diseases .
Axol ’ s cardiovascular range comprises of iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes from healthy donors , which beat spontaneously in culture and exhibit several cardiac-selective markers . The primary cell product range includes fibroblasts , haematopoietic , epithelial , mesenchymal and muscle cells . The most recent additions are the uncultured hepatocytes , assay-ready expanded ( ARE ) hepatocytes and liver sinusoidal epithelial cells .
Axol also offers a complete suite of custom services including custom donor cell sourcing , reprogramming and characterisation services . It specialises in directed differentiation of iPSCs to generate pure populations of functional cell types including cardiomyocytes , endothelial cells , and cerebral cortical , dopaminergic and sensory neural cells . Axol can also produce isogenic and reporter cell lines for disease modelling and drug discovery using CRISPR / Cas9 and iPSC technologies to edit the genome of disease-relevant cell types to create cellular models of genetic conditions .
In addition to expanding its range of product and service offerings , Axol has appointed a host of experts from academia and industry to ensure continued success . This includes Chief Scientific Officer , Xianmin Zeng , PhD , an Associate Professor at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging who is an expert in the development of stem cell disease models for neurodegenerative disorders and Chief Business Officer , Sanj Kumar who with more than 20 years ’ experience in leading
