1 simple way to rapidly quantify Collagen: Sircol Collagen Assay
Collagen is a structural protein expressed in mammalian tissues (ex. skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilages, blood vessels...).  Together with Elastin and Keratin, Collagen fibres give connective
Sircol for soluble and insoluble collagen assays!
Measuring soluble collagen in biological samples is a straightforward experiment which can be done with the Sircol soluble collagen assay using Sirius Red dye (Sircol dye) in a convenient manner (we explored
2 new Actin and Tubulin live cell imaging stains - without transfection!
Cytoskeletal live cell imaging is extremely powerful when investigating cellular processes such as cytokinesis, motility and organelle transport and organization. The current experimental procedures
How to measure Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans?
Glycosaminoglycans (or mucopolysaccharides) are long un-branched polysaccherides which consist of disaccharide repeats. The repeats usually (with the exception of Keratan sulfate) consist of on amino sugar
A simple way to measure Elastin
Recently I reported about methods to measure:
- Collagen - Sircol for soluble and insoluble collagen assays
- Glycosaminoglycans - How to measure Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans?
Today, I invite you to
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 living cells, have been available on the market - and although it may sound like an overstatement,
3 easy colorimetric assays to measure ECM components
