Celebrating 30 Years of Innovation: Cell Applications Unveils Groundbreaking Brown Fat Cells

Audio By Carbonatix

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 13, 2024--

Cell Applications, Inc. is pioneering a new era with the release of Brown Fat Preadipocytes (i-HBrPAd), a first-of-its-kind cellular model derived from pluripotent stem cells and cryopreserved before maturation. This breakthrough innovation provides scientists with an unprecedented tool to study brown fat’s unique properties, functions, and potential therapeutic applications, particularly for obesity and diabetes.

Researchers now have direct access to i-HBrPAd, which, when used with Cell Applications' proprietary Preadipocyte Differentiation and Maturation Medium, matures fully in just 14 days. Once differentiated, these cells remain viable, healthy, and highly responsive for up to two weeks. Impressively, they demonstrate over 97% positivity for PRDM16, a critical thermogenic factor essential to brown fat development. In addition, Oil Red O staining reveals multilocular adipose vesicles, a distinguishing feature of brown fat cells.

"The innovation further advances Cell Applications’ 30 year mission to enable scientists’ research with powerful, validated cell models," said David Yu, Ph.D., Vice President at Cell Applications, Inc.

The arrival of Brown Fat (i-HBrPAd) marks a game-changing advance, enabling new research directions and driving forward the scientific community's quest to address metabolic disorders. With these cells, researchers can explore the mechanisms of brown fat development and investigate ways to generate this tissue in vivo, revolutionizing possibilities in metabolic and obesity-related research.
