For all research and cell therapy approaches, cell expansion and thus cell culture media are used and needed. During the last decades (starting in the 1950s) animal serum was the “Gold Standard” for cell expansion because of its high growth factor content and universal use. Cell
We are thrilled to be able to offer the Stem Cell Network NRW the chance to visit our company in Aachen on 16 March 2022. Most of our employees at PL BioScience are scientists or have a scientific background. Therefore, we comprehend very well how difficult it
Why are Mesenchymal Stem Cells so interesting for industry and clinical research? The properties of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) make them capable to be used for a broad application in research fields and the development of cell therapies. One topic is getting more important and looked
Why Human Platelet Lysate outperforms Human Serum for Stem Cell Therapy "Which media should I choose for my application?" - There is no short answer because it depends on the application aim of the cell therapy, the production process and sometimes on the cell types and

World Earth Day 2021: Environmental Impact of HPL vs. FBS What do HPL and FBS have to do with the Earth Day 2021? The Earth Day raises awareness and educates people about a more sustainable living. For us, this means we educate about a more sustainable cell
Today is world cancer day A great opportunity to raise awareness for cancer patients and survivors as well as for cancer research and therapies. Cancer is one of the most serious diseases causing almost one in six deaths globally, which is estimated to equal 9.6 million
Animal experiments are one of the most discussed topics in research and in our society. We neither want to condemn animal experiments nor do we want to trivialize this topic. What we want is to raise awareness and open a fact-based discussion about it. Animal experiments are
ELAREM™ Prime is the worldwide first affordable cell culture supplement based on human platelets offering the same benefits as FBS – in an animal serum-free environment. What is ELAREM™ Prime? It is derived from reused transfusion-approved platelets. These platelets can no longer be used for blood transfusions,
Introducing our new human Platelet Lysate brand name: ELAREM™ As a university spin-off, we started manufacturing our human Platelet Lysates (hPL) back in 2015, as ‘PL Solution’ products. For more than five years, you may know our human Platelet Lysates under this name. It is time
A new publication from Kouroupis et al. published in CYTOTHERAPY in July 2020 found out that infrapatellar fat pad (IFP)-mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) manufactured with human Platelet Lysate (hPL) show enhanced immunomodulatory properties. Findings have potential for a minimally invasive cell therapy for joint disease The authors even
It is a pleasure for us to announce that BORN2GROW GmbH & Co. KG, a subsidiary of Zukunftsfonds Heilbronn (ZFHN), invests in our company and technology. Since almost 20 years the ZFHN successfully consults and accompanies start-up technologies and companies. BORN2GROW is the second investor in
Read in the press article from the "Aachener Zeitung" why human Platelet Lysate is still unusual but morally inoffensive PL BioScience produces human Platelet Lysate (hPL) as a cell culture supplement. This is still unusual because using the controversial Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) for cell culture
The study performed with human Platelet Lysate (hPL) at the University of Miami showed an enhanced performance of manufactured IFP - MSCs under regulatory compliant conditions. The aim of the study was to proof the hypothesis: IFP-MSCs manufactured under these conditions do not need "ex-vivo priming
Meet PL BioScience at the annual GSCN Conference From 23 to 25 September the annual Conference of the German Stem Cell Network (GSCN) will take place. We will be part of it in the virtual exhibition. Special times require special actions Because of the corona safety requirements and
Human Platelet Lysate should seriously considered as the new standard "hPL has favorable properties in terms of ethics and scientific practice and should seriously be considered as a new standard cell culture medium substitute". HPL can replace FCS as a protein source This is only one of the
Despite the challenging times, we would like to wish you and your families a happy Easter. We hope that you and your loved ones are healthy and safe. We certainly continue to support your business with our cell culture supplements. We adapted our processes to provide
