Lipodystrophies are disorders characterized by complete or selective loss of adipose tissue from various regions of the body. They might lead to severe metabolic disorders. The development of reliable

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

A recent review by Nadim et al. casts some light on a Cosmetology and Dermatology, where circulating biomarkers, though studied to a certain extent so far, are yet unknown for many skin models. (1) 

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs) are ligand-activated transcription factors of the Nuclear Receptor superfamily. PPAR active compounds are of significant interest in multiple pharmaceutical

Matrix components are key R&D elements in pharmaceutical and cosmetology with tremendous impacts on tissue regeneration, skin repair, wound healing, allergy

Rat liver tritosomes are hepatic lysosomes that have been loaded with Tyloxapol (Triton WR 1339), a non-ionic surfactant. Tyloxapol is taken up by hepatocytes through endocytosis and is trafficked to lysosomal

Transporters have become increasingly important in drug development due to the major role they play in absorption, distribution and excretion of endogenous

Hyaluronic acid (Hyaluronan) belongs to the group of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), but unlike other GAGs like Heparan sulfate, Chondroitin sulfate or Keratan sulfate, it cannot be

The monitoring of ECM components during experimental approaches requires robust and user-friendly in vitro assays. In the past experimental methods (e.g. soluble collagen measurement) were laborious

Sekisui XenoTech has just been issued U.S. Patent No. 9,642,355 for the “cryopreservation of cells and subcellular fractions,” specifically related to Sekisui XenoTech’s CryostaX® test systems. This hepatocyte

Sekisui XenoTech has just established a method for high Aldehyde Oxidase and Xanthine Oxidase activity in pooled Human liver test systems.

These new test systems (Pooled Human Liver S9 and cytosol) have
