Monocytes (Mo) are immature phagocytic cells circulating in the blood. Acting as antigen-presenting immune cells, they can phagocytise and degrade microbes and particulate matter. Monocytes can differentiate into several different cell types. The most common applications for monocytes are the in vitro differentiation into monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDC), macrophages, and osteoclasts as well as their use as phagocytic immune cells in immunology and infection biology.

Primary human cardiac fibroblasts (HCF) are isolated from the ventricles of an adult heart. HCF play a central role in the maintenance of the extracellular matrix in the normal heart and the synthesis of growth factors and cytokines.

Primary human cardiac myocytes (HCM) are isolated from the ventricles of the adult heart. They are qualified for in vitro research on cardiac diseases and for pharmacological studies. Unlike freshly isolated rod-shaped myocytes, cultured HCM can be used for long-term experiments like investigating the long-term effects of cytokines, mechanical strain, or cell-cell interactions, as they are prepared according to a special protocol.

Mesenchymal stem cells are harvested from normal human bone marrow. All cells are tested for their ability to differentiate in vitro into adipocytes, chondrocytes, osteoblasts and neuronal cells.

Primary human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (HCMEC) are isolated from heart ventricles from a single donor. The cells are routinely analysed by immunofluorescent staining - they stain positive for CD31 and Willebrand factor and negative for smooth muscle alpha-actin.

Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells from Umbilical Cord Matrix (hMSC-UC) are harvested from normal human umbilical cord matrix (Wharton’s jelly). The cells are tested for their ability to differentiate in vitro into adipocytes, chondrocytes, and osteoblasts.
