PL BioScience Launches World's Only Patented Gamma-irradiated Human Platelet Lysate
AACHEN, Germany, April 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PL BioScience GmbH, a German life science company specializing in the production and development of Human Platelet Lysate (HPL) for cell expansion, today announced the launch of ELAREM™ Ultimate-FD PLUS, the only gamma-irradiated, GMP-grade Human Platelet Lysate produced in Germany using a globally patented process. With the increasing demand for safe, xeno-free, ethically sourced cell culture supplements in cell therapy, regenerative medicine, and biopharmaceutical manufacturing, ELAREM™ Ultimate-FD PLUS answers a critical industry need: a virus-inactivated, animal-free, and EU-manufactured alternative that meets the highest quality standards.
'We are thrilled to bring the only gamma-irradiated Human Platelet Lysate produced in Europe to the dynamic field of cell and gene therapy,' said Dr. Hatim Hemeda, Chief Executive Officer of PL BioScience. 'This product isn't just a milestone for Europe – it's a globally unique offering. With comprehensive patent protection and fully EU-based production, ELAREM™ Ultimate-FD PLUS ensures a stable supply chain and offers global manufacturers a high-quality, regulatory-ready solution that meets the highest international standards.'
Cell culture supplements are essential for growing cells in the laboratory. They play a critical role in the development and manufacturing of advanced therapies like cell and gene therapies. Traditionally, these supplements often contain components derived from other species, such as fetal bovine serum (FBS). These animal-derived products carry potential safety risks, for example bacterial or viral contamination, and pose ethical concerns. HPL offers a fully human-derived, xeno-free alternative that is safe, consistent, and sustainable.
ELAREM™ Ultimate-FD PLUS takes this one step further. Through a proprietary gamma-irradiation process, the product undergoes viral inactivation to add an extra layer of safety and regulatory assurance. The gamma-irradiated, xeno-free, fibrinogen-depleted, and anticoagulant-free product complies with the relevant GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) guidelines. This makes it especially suitable for cell manufacturing applications where viral reduction is critical, such as potential use in clinical trials.
About Human Platelet Lysate:
Human Platelet Lysate (HPL) is an innovative, human-derived cell culture supplement used to support the growth and expansion of cells in research and clinical development, particularly in cell therapy, stem cell, and regenerative medicine applications. It is produced from donated human blood platelets that are no longer suitable for transfusion and would otherwise be discarded – making it a sustainable and resource-efficient alternative to traditional cell culture supplements.
In cell culture, HPL provides essential growth factors and nutrients that promote healthy, robust cell proliferation. Compared to conventional products such as Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS), which is harvested from unborn calves, HPL delivers more consistent results in cell growth, is free from animal-derived pathogens, and aligns with the increasing demand for animal-free and ethically responsible laboratory practices.
ELAREM™, PL BioScience's line of xeno-free HPL products, can be used from early-stage research to the production of cell-based therapies under Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) conditions for the treatment of patients.
About PL BioScience:
Located in Aachen in Germany, PL BioScience GmbH is a life science company specializing in the production and development of Human Platelet Lysate (HPL), offering a complete portfolio of HPL products tailored for various use cases. From academic and preclinical research to cell therapy and biopharmaceutical manufacturing, ELAREM™ ensures seamless translations of regenerative medicine breakthroughs – from the lab to patients in need.

Former Expedia CEO Buys Troubled Luxury Lingerie Brand La Perla
Former Expedia chief executive officer Peter Kern is set to rescue Italian luxury lingerie brand La Perla, capping a years-long saga for the troubled brand. The move by Kern, using the vehicle Luxury Holding LLC, will give 'perspective and future' to a 'global icon of Italian fashion,' Italy's Enterprise minister Adolfo Urso said in a statement Tuesday. The rescue package includes an agreement to keep all 210 employees, hire 40 more and inject €30 million ($34 million) into reviving the brand by 2027, the ministry said. Kern paid €25 million for La Perla, Italian newspaper Messaggero reported earlier. La Perla has been embroiled in legal disputes after the UK's tax authority requested a winding up petition over an unpaid tax bill. The upmarket brand used to be owned by German financier Lars Windhorst through his investment vehicle Tennor Holding BV. Kern's offer for La Perla wasn't the highest in the sale auction, which included rival Italian bidder Calzedonia, but it won the Ministry's approval on the back of guarantees to keep production as well as product development in Bologna, Il Messaggero said. La Perla has a global retail network but manufactures most of its high-end products in Italy. It sells bras that can cost more than €300, as well as other items including nightwear, pyjamas and knickers, according to its website.

Success Story Podcast Announces New Episode Featuring Billionaire Grant Cardone on Wealth and Leadership
Billionaire Real Estate Mogul Grant Cardone Reveals Why He "Should Be Worth $20 Billion Today" and Shares Unconventional Success Blueprint $4 Billion Empire Builder Discusses Breaking Comfort Zone Addiction, Choosing the Right "Vehicle" for Wealth, and Why Most People Have "Quit on Money" Cardone also hints at major announcement coming "within the week" and reconsiders California political ambitions Miami, Florida , June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Success Story Podcast, hosted by Scott Clary, has announced a new episode featuring billionaire entrepreneur and Cardone Ventures CEO Grant Cardone. In this exclusive conversation, Cardone shares unfiltered insights on building generational wealth, the hidden challenges of leadership, and the mindset shifts that separate top performers from the rest. The episode offers listeners a candid look at Cardone's personal journey and practical strategies for achieving extraordinary success. Grant Cardone, the outspoken billionaire behind a $4 billion real estate empire and bestselling author of "The 10X Rule," delivered hard-hitting insights about wealth creation, leadership isolation, and the critical decisions that separate the ultra-successful from everyone else in a revealing interview on Scott Clary's Success Story podcast. The $20 Billion Revelation In a candid moment, Cardone stated he "should be worth $20 billion today," attributing the gap to strategic vehicle choices rather than effort or mindset. "The difference between me and my friend who gained $9 billion in two weeks isn't the mindset – we both want abundance and to help millions of people. The difference is the vehicle," Cardone explained, referencing a friend who recently experienced massive volatility, gaining $5 billion in one day before losing $6 billion the following Friday. The Comfort Zone Trap Cardone identified "comfort" as a dangerous addiction that prevents breakthrough success. "Comfortable is a serious addiction that allows you to socially drift through life. You're on a drug of 'I don't want to take risk, I don't want to feel stressed, I just want enough,'" he warned. He revealed that even after making his first million dollars, he fell into this trap: "I went into conservation mode, not hunger mode. What I should have done is 10X that million." Why Most People Have "Quit on Money" Addressing widespread financial struggles, particularly citing Toronto's housing crisis where million-dollar condos are unattainable for $70K earners, Cardone argued that most people have psychologically given up on wealth creation. "I think most people have quit on the money game. They're like, 'I'm not going to have it. The game's rigged. I just need to be happy,'" he observed. His solution is radical target-setting: "Your target should be monster. Make a 100X exit. Then find out whether the business you're in right now can actually get you to that target." The Leadership Loneliness Factor Cardone opened up about the isolation that comes with high-level decision-making, comparing his experience to Donald Trump's situation. "Do you know how lonely Donald Trump must be? There is no way that guy's doing what he's doing on a daily basis that he gets support from everybody around him," he reflected. "If you're in a leadership position, you're going to be in a situation one day where you got to go take a hill and you're going to look up – you're by yourself." Controversial Education and Parenting Philosophy The billionaire continued his criticism of traditional education paths, stating most people "should not go to college" and calling the current system "insanity." For parenting, he advocates extreme engagement: "You cannot turn them over to YouTube and Facebook. Those are not nannies. Get your kids off TV, get your kids off YouTube, get your kids active." Cardone homeschools his children year-round and requires them to work under contract since age six, resulting in his 15-year-old daughter graduating high school at 15. Political Ambitions in Question In a rare moment of uncertainty, Cardone revealed he's "second-guessing the whole California thing," referring to his consideration of entering California politics to "flip it red." Despite believing he "could win it," he's questioning whether to pursue the opportunity given other priorities. The Ultimate Success Formula When asked for the single most important lesson he'd pass to his children, Cardone delivered his core philosophy: "You will never get anything great without leaving something good."
