MitoPeDPP: a new mitochondrial fluorescent probe for live cell imaging
Dojindo just completed its offer in the field of mitochondrial research with the release of a unique fluorescent dye for live cell imaging. This post introduces this new MitoPeDPP mitochondrial probe.
SiR fluorogenic probes: multicolour live-cell Imaging of Actin, Tubulin, DNA, and Lysosomes
How to monitor mitophagy in mammalian cells
Mitochondria keep cells "healthy" in their environment. In this post, we'll take a look at a new fluorescent assay for the monitoring of mitophagy, a process aimed at clearing damaged or superfluous mitochondria
3 new mitochondrial research reagents
Research tools aimed at exploring mitochondria are becoming more and more popular and cover multiple experimental applications. They go from primary antibodies validated for immuno-assays (see
LipiDye fluorescent probe for lipid droplet monitoring in live cells
LipiDye lipid droplet Green* is a new highly sensitive fluorescent probe for detecting lipid droplets in live or fixed cells. In this, let's review the characteristics of this dye which is compatible
Fluorescence microscopy: how to improve your Live Cell Imaging
For more than 2 years now, the Silicon Rhodamine-like (SiR) technology has allowed the live cell imaging field with fluorescence microscopy to evolve significantly.
Fluorescent SiR-probes have appeared
Simple and effective CRISPR CAS9 gene editing for primary cells
Vector-free CRISPR-CAS9 gene editing to accelerate therapeutic applications
A few years ago, Ayal Hendel et al (doi:10.1038/nbt.3290) published results revealing that chemical alterations to sgRNA enhance
Develop robust and convenient cell based assays with Gaussian Luciferase
Cell-based assays have become a classic way to monitor cells' reactions to a treatment or a specific stimulus. They involve a reporter construction and a detection system. The classic system is Firefly
Live Cell Imaging - Watch SiR-Tubulin stained Human Osteosarcoma cells in action
As you may already know, Spirochrome have developed a broad range of Live Cell Imaging probes for the staining of DNA, Lysosome, F-Actin and Microtubules.
Based on the use of the Silicon rhodamine-like
Powerful and reliable solutions to decipher Actin Dynamics
As is well known, the actin cytoskeleton is a highly dynamic structure, involved in a large number of cellular processes, including muscle contraction, lamellopodial extrusion, cell locomotion, cytokinesis,
