Asterand Inc., the Detroit-based supplier of human tissues and related services, last week announced it will distribute nine new cell lines for cancer research. The cell lines were all developed at the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute of Wayne State University and will be of interest to researchers seeking a cure for several types of leukemia, lymphoma and pancreatic cancer. The Wayne State lines will be added to a portfolio of cell lines that are currently distributed by Asterand. The Asterand tissue bank now contains more than 330,000 samples.
