Actin staining techniques in fixed and living cells
Actin can be stained in living and fixed cells to determine and follow the structure and function of the cytoskeleton. The actin cytoskeleton is a very dynamic and labile structure in the living cell,
New Fluorescent Labeling and Detection Products
For decades researchers have been using the famous Alexa Fluor® dyes developed by Molecular Probes for everything from flow cytometry to oligonucleotide labeling. These sulfonated forms of common fluorophores
Click Chemistry: What it means for biologists
A few months ago I read a very nice blog post from our friends at TriLink Biotechnologies giving the chemist's perspective on the excitement surrounding "Click
Intracellular Calcium measurement with Fluo-8
G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCR) and ion channels are important targets in drug development. Both target classes represent membrane proteins which require convenient and robust cell-based assays for
Live Cell Imaging: User results with SiR-Actin & SiR-Tubulin
For one year now, SiR-Actin and SiR-Tubulin, the second generation of tools to stain actin and tubulin in
Fluorescent thermometer for living cells
Thousands of researchers spend time pampering their primary cells and cell lines every day, with the aim of defining their optimal cell culture conditions. Researchers are in effect trying to control numerous
Rolipram slows tau accumulation and AD
Cost-efficient pre-optimized transfection reagents
The main challenge when choosing a transfection reagent is that we don't know how it will work with our own cell type of interest. It is also time consuming to find the optimal conditions. Well, here's the solution:
