SAN DIEGO, April 4, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
AnaBios Corporation today announced the acquisition of Cell Systems, a human primary cell and cell culture media company located in Kirkland, Washington. The purchase of Cell Systems will further enhance AnaBios’ unique human tissue and cells portfolio and help scientists expedite drug discovery and further their understanding of cell biology through access to an expansive array of biologically relevant tools.
Cell Systems offers a wide variety of human primary cells, including endothelial cells from the brain, liver, kidney, eye and lung that have been instrumental in the ongoing assessment of COVID-19. Their liver sinusoidal endothelial cells were recently used in a pivotal study of a novel liver-chip model that rigorously validated the use of the primary cells for this microfluidics application, according to the industry standards set by the International Consortium for Innovation and Quality in Pharmaceutical Development.
AnaBios, a pre-clinical contract research organization focused on translational studies, leverages its advanced technologies to provide human tissue samples, cells and services for the pharmaceutical industry and academic laboratories globally. Human primary cells and tissues provide clinically relevant data to increase the success rate of drug development.
“Cell Systems has decades of experience supplying our highly-cited human primary cells to pharma/biotech companies and universities around the world that enable translational research using 2D and 3D models, microfluidic devices and in organ-chip technology. Our primary cells have been instrumental in research of the blood-brain-barrier, liver biology, kidney function, respiratory biology and much more,” said Jesse Damm, CEO of Cell Systems. “AnaBios is the world leader in providing human-focused tissue samples, primary cells and services, so it makes perfect sense for our customers for Cell Systems and AnaBios to join forces.”
“AnaBios is extremely excited to provide Cell Systems’ primary cells to researchers globally and further enhance the landscape of translational research,” said Dr. Andre Ghetti, CEO of AnaBios. “By maximizing the synergies between our offerings and expertise and Cell System’s human primary cells and media, we will provide enhanced translational tools and reagents to academic, pharmaceutical and biotech researchers and optimize their research programs through enhanced human insights.”
Financing for this transaction was provided by AnaBios’ existing investors, including Ampersand Capital Partners. Financial details regarding the acquisition have not been disclosed.

GIMME Beauty Launches New Active Bands Collection
Ideal for workouts, Active Bands grip better, stay in place longer, don’t pull hair
SALT LAKE CITY, April 4, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
GIMME Beauty has launched its new Active Bands Collection that is designed to be perfect for all types of workouts, from running and lifting to hiking and cross-fitness exercising.
The new bands are made with silicone accents and are 100% latex-free. This textured surface prevents the bands from slipping.
“The ‘beauty’ of these new active lifestyle hair bands is that they will stay in place through any of your workouts and yet they won’t damage or pull your hair,” said GIMME CEO Jeff Durham.
The new Active Bands’ textured grip prevents the bands from slipping off the wrist easily, while the unique fabric wicks away sweat and provides breathability. The extra-strong material also means the bands will last longer and won’t snap like other bands. No one wants the disappointment of having a hair band break during a workout. GIMME eliminated this pain.
The new Active Bands Collection launched on March 16 online and in various GIMME retail partner stores across the U.S. The active bands will be available in the most popular sizes – Thick Hair and Universal (or Any Fit) options. GIMME also offers an activewear scrunchy pack, also incorporating silicone for extra grip, if that fits your preference.
“GIMME believes women shouldn’t have to put up with one-size-fits-all products for your hair,” Durham said. “We are dedicated to constantly improving your hair experience by giving you the best possible products for your hair and making them easily accessible to all in-store or online.”
GIMME Beauty’s accessories are some of the strongest-selling accessories at ULTA, and as such, GIMME has been recognized among ULTA’s top-performing accessories brands. Since its launch in 2006, GIMME has grown into a national brand, with retail partners like ULTA, Target, CVS, Walgreens, and Wal-Mart carrying GIMME products in 2023.
About GIMME Beauty
GIMME Beauty‘s vision is to design innovative hair solutions that disrupt the status quo of the health and beauty hair care category. The company’s products rank among the industry’s fastest-growth hair accessories, according to Nielsen Market Data. Since it launched in 2006, GIMME has become a national brand available at more than 20,000 stores across the United States.
