Recent advances in Stem Cell culture: Encapsulated Stembeads growth factors
During my daily discussions with researchers involved in in vitro iPS and Embryonic Stem cell cultures, I am always amazed by the passion that drives them. However, the more I go in depth with them in
Hyaluronic acid - size matters!
Hyaluronic acid (HA), or hyaluronan, is an ubiquitous, very high molecular mass polysaccharide that has applications in a variety
From osteoarthritis to bladder cancer... hyaluronic acid is not just cosmetics!
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is important in many biological processes such as wound repair, tissue hydration and inflammation. HA is also a potential biomarker for diseases such as osteoarthritis, liver cirrhosis
A focus on ATX-LPA signaling research tools
Autotaxin (ATX) is a secreted lysophospholipase D involved in the release of the lipid mediator LPA. Many research tools have been developed to study ATX-LPA signaling.  In this post, I invite you
Pluripotent stem cells for improved reprogrammed Human Sebocytes
Following the start of our recent collaboration with Phenocell, we’re pleased to be able to provide high quality Sebocytes developed from Human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). Thanks to a perfectly
Optimize your neuroprogenitor cell culture with new BDNF/GDNF Stembeads®
Neurotrophic factors are known to protect neuronal cell death in several neurodegenerative diseases, both in in vitro and in vivo. They play a key role in development, differentiation, synaptogenesis,
Hepatic Hyaluronan Content increased by Alcohol Consumption in Patients with Liver Steatosis
In a previous post, I introduced Sekisui Xenotech's Research Biobank, which is based on rejections from liver transplantation as opposed to post-mortem tissues, thus offering a guarantee for better tissue
Hyalose Select-Hyaluronic Acidâ„¢ products now available now from tebu-bio
Echelon Biosciences are specialized in the development of novel assays and reagents in Lipid research, with the commitment to innovate and provide the best solutions for researchers. They have recently
Your complete tool box to facilitate your Immunotherapy research
Developing new therapeutic agents to boost the immune system and avoid the escape of diseased cells from the natural defenses is the common goal of all researchers in Immunotherapy. To greatly reduce time
Lipid-Ligand interaction tools: lipids are not scary intermediates anymore
The first time a cell biologist discovers that there might be a lipid involved in their favourite pathway, it's a bit like finding a wall across the road (just the same situation as when a lipidomist
Where to find a sensitive Hyaluronic Acid (HA) quantitative assay
Hyaluronic acid (also called HA or Hyaluronan) is a glycosaminoglycan with elevated viscosity, enabling tissues (eye, skin, joint and synovial fluid...) to resist to physical and mechanical constraints
