SEATTLE and TELFORD, Pa., Sept. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pluristyx, Inc. and Solesis, LLC today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishing their strategic collaboration. The primary objective is to optimize a combination of technologies to provide researchers with standardized, reliable, reproducible tools, addressing a critical need in the application of pluripotent stem cells for research, diagnostics, and therapeutics.
Specifically, the collaboration combines unique strengths of both companies:
- Solesis’ Hydralese® biomaterial scaffolds and transfection processes and reagents and,
- Pluristyx’s market-leading induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC), mRNA technology, and PluriForm™ Organoid Kit for rapid and reliable generation of thousands of uniform pluripotent aggregates made from Ready-to-Differentiate® cells.
The partnership will initially focus on the co-development and commercialization of innovative, standardized organoid kits for the research and diagnostics markets. Further, the companies will engage in joint product development and marketing efforts, including shared publications, scientific conference presentations, and other promotional activities to highlight the performance of these next-generation research and clinical solutions.
"We are thrilled to partner with Solesis. Combining Ready-to-Differentiate® cells with Hydralese® technology will enable us to deliver powerful, standardized tools and kits that accelerate research and discovery," said Dr. Benjamin Fryer, CEO of Pluristyx. "This collaboration will support the entire field using pluripotent stem cells."
