The neuropeptides, Oxytocin and Vasopressin, were isolated and synthesized by Vincent du Vigneaud at Cornell Medical College in 1953, work for which he received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1955.

In drug discovery screening campaigns as well as in fundamental research activities, cellular parameters have to be measured and monitored in living cells regularly. Often fluorescent dyes are used to

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

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

One of the biggest challenges as a researcher in life sciences, is to obtain proof of concept the more predictive as possible. To help you to reach your objectives, many innovative tools are being developed

In a recent publication, researchers from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine (USA) describe that Serotonin released by human beta cell inhibits glucagon secretion by alpha cells. They demonstrated

By mimicking in-vivo environments, 3D cell culture models appear nowadays as the best in-vitro study model to work in an in-vivo like study model and to obtain more physiologically relevant data and proof

As mentioned in a previous post the DAX Biochips from AIM Biotech are an innovative and versatile microfluidic platform, allowing researchers to more easily develop 3D cell culture models, to work as close

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

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

Non-invasive manipulations of intracellular processes have recently appeared as an emerging research field. Experts in the development of biosensors for live cell discovery, Montana Molecular provide an
