6 popular Microtubule agents used in in vitro tubulin assays
Microtubules are key components of the cytoskeletal structure of eukaryotic cells. Composed of alpha- and beta- tubulin sub-units, microtubules are dynamic entities
Neuromuscular diseases: A new application for Statins?
Statins are HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, well-known  medications for treating Hypercholesterolemia. Simvastatin is a member of this "Statin family" and controls
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) and related assay kits
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are reactive molecules and free radicals derived from molecular oxygen involved in cellular homeostasis. An excess of ROS production (e.g. exposure to environmental stress
New, more sensitive monoclonal based Allopregnanolone kit for AD research
Progesterone derived Allopregnanolone (ALLO) is an extensively studied neurosteroid that has been shown to be involved in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, and multiple
DDI studies: New TransiPort cells for OATP1A2 and OATP2B1 transporters
Membrane transporters can have clinically relevant effects on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a drug in various organs and tissues by controlling its absorption, distribution and elimination.
New one-step cGMP immunoassay with improved sensitivity
When scientists at ArborAssays invented the Direct Cyclic Nucleotide EIA immunoassay more than 20 years ago, they knew the kits would be popular. The direct nature of the format for the assays allows cAMP
New - Hemoglobin High Sensitivity Colorimetric Detection Kit
A new Hemoglobin (Hgb) High Sensitivity kit has just been released to allow for the detection of Hgb in low amount of samples. Researchers working on inflammation, kidney injury or oxidative stress may
STING: key player in drug development?
Recent articles have highlighted the role the STING cell signalling pathway may be playing in drug development, whether via its inhibition to control innate immunity and inflammation (Nature Biotechnology,
Fully licensed SLC cell lines for FDA and EMA recommended transporters
In a previous post, we introduced our Ready-to-use cellular models for SLC assays by GenoMembrane.
These cell lines transiently express the current FDA and EMA recommended SLC drug transporters (eg.
Immunotherapy for breast cancer: Types and effectiveness
Our body is made up of trillions of cells grouped together to form tissues and organs. The genes present in the nucleus of every cell tell it when to grow, work, divide and die.
Normally, our cells follow
CRO & Drug Discovery
In medicine, biotech and pharmacology, drug discovery is the entire process to discover new candidate medications.
The process is long and complex, the budget needed is expansive and the skills required
