Pharmacological agents which alleviate Pain
Chronic pain of varying types including inflammatory pain, cancer pain and neuropathic pain is an increasing health problem for which there are inadequate therapeutic options.
Many new targets for analgesic
How to modulate ion channels
Ion channels play an important role in perception and transmission of pain sensations. Furthermore, dysfunctions of certain ion channels are involved in neuronal disorders, such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's
Intracellular Calcium measurement with Fluo-8
G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCR) and ion channels are important targets in drug development. Both target classes represent membrane proteins which require convenient and robust cell-based assays for
CBR-5884 - a Serine biosynthesis inhibitor for cancer research
Metabolic pathways are upregulated in cancer cells to promote their growth and proliferation. The evidence pointing to the requirement of the amino acid serine in tumorigenesis is overwhelming. Serine
How to activate or inhibit autophagy?
The term Autophagy was introduced by Christian de Duve during the Ciba Foundation Symposium on Lysosomes – which was held in London in February 1963. In 1974 he was honoured with the Nobel price in
Stauprimide inhibits c-myc transcription in cancer cells
Stauprimide is known to prime Embryonic Stem Cells (ESC) by targeting the c-Myc-activating transcription factor NME2. Its mechanism of action is linked to the inhibition of the nuclear localization of
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
GPR17 and Remyelination: activators and antagonists
The absence of mature oligodendrocytes for the repair of demyelination lesions is a critical factor in the pathology of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and other debilitating CNS disorders of myelination. As
Easy single-cell isolation with Smart Aliquotor
Single-cell isolation allows genomic and transcriptomic analysis of one individual cell. It is also required to build a monoclonal cell line from rare cell isolation, that could be for example CRISPR-CAS9
Low-cost, high-throughput device for single-cell RNA sequencing
The main challenge in RNA-sequencing workflow is certainly library preparation. When it's question of single-cell isolation and so 10-100 picogram of total RNA, the challenge may become mission impossible...
Cell Signalling - how is the Phospho Explorer antibody array used?
If your research interest is focused on the identification of cell signalling pathways and protein phosphorylation profiles, the comprehensive Phospho Explorer Array may be of great help to you, measuring
