Application Spotlights

small molecules for iPSC diabetes research

Diabetes Research

A scalable differentiation protocol to derive functional insulin-producing beta cells from hPSCs published by Pagliuca, et al. (2014) presents a sixstage protocol using a combination of multiple small molecules and growth factors has shown promise in ameliorating hyperglycemia in mice.

Product highlights: CHIR99021, Retinoic Acid, LDN193189, Sant 1, Triiodothyronine, Y27632

small molecules for iPSC neuronal research

Neural Research

Qi, et al. (2017) describes a protocol in which a cocktail of seven small molecules allows for the creation of cortical neurons capable of producing long-range axonal projections. These cells begin to show mature neural characteristics in just 16 days, and later become fully functional.

Product highlights: DAPT, LDN193189, SB431542, PD0325901, XAV939, Y27632

small molecules for iPSC cardio research

Cardiovascular Research

Noor, et al. (2019) utilized hiPSCs differentiation protocols published by Edri, et al. (2018) and Lian, et al. (2012) for the modeling of 3D vascularized and perfusable heart patches to ultimately be applied to personalized cardiac models and drug screening applications.

Product highlights: CHIR99021, IWP-2, IWP-4, Retinoic Acid, SB203580, Thiazovivin

  1. A83-01
    A83-01

    A83-01 has been extensively used in various studies to modulate TGF-β signaling pathways, impacting cellular differentiation, organoid growth, and disease modeling. A83-01 is supplied as a lyophilized powder.

  2. A83-01 (GMP)
    A83-01 (GMP)

    Captivate Bio's A83-01 (GMP-grade) is a small-molecule inhibitor that blocks the activity of certain receptors in the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) signaling pathway, specifically ALK5, ALK4, and ALK7, ideal for cell therapy applications.

  3. BIRB796 (Doramapimod)
    BIRB796 (Doramapimod)

    BIRB796 is a highly potent inhibitor of p38 MAPK that enhances stem cell activity of cultured umbilical cord blood-derived hematopoietic cells. BIRB796 can be used in protocols for the chemical reprogramming of somatic cells to iPSCs.

  4. CET Cocktail Kits
    CET Cocktail Kits

    Captivate Bio's newly optimized CET Cocktail Kits are designed to enhance cell survival and promote growth of genetically stable hPSCs. Kits are configured to address specific workflows. Three versions include: CET Spark™ for 1L, CET Ignite™ for 5L, and CET Titan™ for 20L or more.

  5. CHIR99021
    CHIR99021

    CHIR99021 potentiates self-renewal of human and mouse embryonic stem cells and enhances reprogramming of somatic cells into stem cells and also augments the differentiation potential of MSCs. Available as a lyophilized powder and in RUO or GMP-grade formats.

  6. CHIR99021 (GMP)
    CHIR99021 (GMP)

    CHIR99021 (GMP-grade) promotes self-renewal and pluripotency of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). It can also maintain stem cells in an undifferentiated state and guide differentiation into specific lineages. Produced under GMP guidelines and is ideal for cell therapy research.
