Human iPSC-derived Osteoblasts

Tempo-iOsteo™

Human iPSC-derived Osteoblasts

Tempo-iOsteo™ cells are human iPSC-derived osteoblasts. Osteoblasts are specialized cell types derived from the mesenchymal stem cells lineage. They contribute to human bone formation. Osteoblasts synthesize collagen and express specialized proteins such as osteoclacin and osteopontin. As an organized group of connected cells, osteoblasts form part of the mineralized matrix. The matrix is part of the crucial skeletal support for humans. Mineralization is part of human’s physiological homeostasis, such as acid-base balance, calcium or potassium maintenance. The iOsteo cells serve as a model system to examine bone mineralization, matrix formation for skeletal systems, bone remodeling, and bone metabolism. The iOsteo models can be used to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying bone loss, osteoporosis, osteoclast inhibition, rheumatoid arthritis, trauma, and bone matrix formation.

Tempo-iOsteo™ are reprogrammed using our proprietary serum-free, virus-fre, nucleic-acids-free, feeder-free, and integration-free technology.. They expression biomarkers: Osteocalcin, COL1A1, FLT1, Bone Sialoprotein, RUNX2, and SPP1 (q/RT-PCR data not shown). Bone mineralization data (Alizarin S Red; 530nm absorbance data) are shown.
