P.O. Box 301179 Boston, MA, 02130 United StatesAsymmetrex is a life sciences biotechnology company with a focus on innovating technologies that will advance the potential of perinatal and postnatal tissue stem cells into routine medical practice. Tissue stem cells are found in the bodies of children and adults. They are a minute fraction of the cells (less than 1 per 1000) that make up organs and tissues like the liver, cornea, skin, muscles, hair, brain, bone marrow, and umbilical cord blood. Despite their small fraction, they are responsible for continuously renewing and repairing the body. A long-standing challenge in stem cell biomedicine has been the lack of a means to count tissue stem cells specifically and determine their specific dose for stem cell transplantation therapies. Because tissue stem cells are a minor fraction of tissue cells, even in the best enriched populations, and there are no known biomarkers that recognize tissue stem cells specifically, previously it has not been possible to count therapeutic tissue stem cells. Asymmetrex now offers the AlphaSTEM Test^TM for this purpose. Asymmetrex's AlphaSTEM Test^TM is the first and only technology that provides specific and accurate counting of any human tissue stem cell in complex tissue cell preparations. It can be used to determine the dose of therapeutic tissue stem cells like hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells. It can be use to monitor and optimize tissue stem cell number in manufacturing processes. It can be used to identify agents that affect tissue stem cell function and viability either positively or negatively. In the latter case, the AlphaSTEM Test^TM provides the unique advantage of earlier identification of drug candidates that will fail later in clinical trials or post-marketing because of causing chronic organ failure (e.g., bone marrow or hepatic). This is possible because of the test's ability to detect stem cell-specific toxicity in primary cell cultures of any proliferative human tissue. Tissue stem cell toxicity is a major cause of chronic organ failure by drug candidates.
The Contract Research Map is owned and maintained by Scientist.com. It was created to help researchers in the life sciences identify and connect with contract research organizations (CROs) based on geography. Updated nightly, this map features all of the available CROs within our network, so you can order services with a few clicks. Click on a specific country, scroll on the map itself or type into the search bar at the top—there are many ways to find the location and suppliers that you’re looking for. From Argentina to New Zealand, use this map to connect with a CRO near you.
We believe that every researcher across the world should be able to connect with the thousands of global CROs that exist and have the opportunity to work together. Like many industries,the life science supply chain has been disrupted over the last year. But there are many other circumstances such as international customs regulations or sensitive shipping times that create limitations around which countries are feasible to partner with. Sometimes, finding a CRO based in a country that best suits your research needs is imperative. We hope this contract research map allows you to find the right partner in the right place at the right time.
