Ion channel over expressing cell lines for inhibitory screening
In a recent post on Venomous toxin ion channel modulators, we looked at toxin derived peptides to manipulate a wide variety of ion channels. These toxins can be used as tools to characterize
Why is the hCMEC/D3 cell line a robust in vitro BBB model?
The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) affects the development of drugs for all pathologies (brain exposure to drugs, side effects...). In the early phases of drug development, there is a strong need for stable
Cell-Based ELISA for in-cell protein phosphorylation and expression profile detection
Cell-Based ELISA tests now enable precise measurement of the phosphorylation status or expression profiles of target proteins (biomarkers) in whole cells. In this post, a review of high performing cell-based assays is made.
Interestingly, the experimental design is simple and is based on 3 steps:
- Plate
- Treat and fix your cells of interest (adherent or in suspension)
- Detect the target proteins with the optimized reagents provided in the kit (450 nm colorimetric detection)
These Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kits enable the detection of various target proteins (biomarkers). Some references also enable the precise measurement of the phosphorylation status of proteins of interest. They can easily
Neurons, Astrocytes, Microglia: High Quality primary cells source
In the field of neurosciences, increasing research is being undertaken on neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, as well as on nerve injury and regeneration. One of the
Consistent, scalable human iPSC-derived glutamatergic neurons and skeletal myocytes
As detailed in a separate post, bit.bio have developed a novel cellular reprogramming technology, opti-ox™
