Pompe Disease Cell Model Products

Introduction Types Advantages Applications FAQs Related Product Sections Product List

Introduction

Pompe disease is a severe lysosomal disorder caused by GAA enzyme deficiency, leading to progressive muscle and heart damage. While enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) helps, its limitations drive the urgent search for novel treatments like gene therapy. Progress requires predictive research models that accurately mimic human pathology.

To meet this critical need, Creative Biolabs provides expertly generated, patient-derived cellular models. Our portfolio, including functional iPSCs, cardiomyocytes, and skeletal myoblasts, empowers researchers to unravel disease mechanisms, screen for effective compounds, and accelerate the development of next-generation cures. Partner with us to advance your therapeutic pipeline. Inquire about our Pompe Disease Cell Models today.

Types

Types Description
Patient-Derived Fibroblasts Sourced directly from Pompe disease patients, these primary cells retain the complete native genetic context of the individual. They are an invaluable resource for studying the effects of specific, and often rare, patient mutations, for initial biomarker discovery, and as a foundational source for iPSC reprogramming projects.
Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC)-Derived Models
  • iPSC-Derived Cardiomyocytes: Essential for modeling the severe cardiac hypertrophy characteristic of infantile-onset Pompe disease and for assessing cardiotoxicity.
  • iPSC-Derived Skeletal Myocytes: Crucial for studying the progressive muscle weakness and vacuolation that defines late-onset Pompe disease and for testing therapies aimed at muscle restoration.
  • iPSC-Derived Neurons: Provide a vital platform to investigate the central nervous system (CNS) involvement and neurological aspects of the disease, an area of growing research interest.
Genetically Engineered Cell Lines For projects requiring scalability, consistency, and speed, we provide robust cell lines (e.g., HEK293) engineered with clinically relevant GAA mutations using CRISPR/Cas9. These models are the ideal choice for large-scale compound screening, rapid mechanism-of-action (MoA) studies, and initial proof-of-concept experiments.
