Bioactive neuronal lipid mediators: a focus on Synaptamide
Focus Biomolecules produces a broad range of bioactive lipid mediators as well as many small molecule inhibitors of numerous lipid metabolic pathways for use as cellular probes. These can be supplied
Tips and Tricks - Protein purification and production for LC-MS characterization
Mass spectrometry is a technology which is widely used in most scientific disciplines that require accurate and precise measurement of elemental and molecular components. Its use in the pharmaceutical
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
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
Tips and Tricks: how to increase unstable protein expression in E. Coli
Recombinant protein expression and purification for therapeutic development or for in vitro studies can sometimes be a real challenge. It requires huge investments in both time and cost in order to obtain
Why you should outsource your plasmid preps
Plasmid preps are to science what salt is to cooking. They're so common that nobody notices, but nothing can be done without them. There is no mention of this step in any published paper, nobody mentions
Why you should outsource your production of proteins - both stable or unstable
Whether your protein is simple to produce, or complex and requires more development, in any case, outsourcing your protein expression, purification and production is a very viable option for your projects.
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™1 (optimized inducible overexpression), that can generate functional cells with high consistency
How do cells protect themselves from viruses?
More than two years ago, the whole planet got impacted by COVID-19. Over time, and with the help of our dedicated worldwide scientific research community, we have learnt how to prevent its spread and to
ELISA : Quality Control and Performance Evaluation
The ELISA test (acronym of Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) is a test principally used In immunology to detect and/or assay a protein, antigen or antibody in a biological fluid sample . It has many practical
What is the future of mRNA based therapeutics, and their main challenges?
mRNA is a ribonucleic acid used by cells as an intermediate carrier of the genetic information contained in the DNA to synthesize proteins, and corresponds to the copy of one of the two strands of DNA.
