Human Primary Sebocyte assay for compound testing on lipid metabolism
Sebocytes belong to the epidermal ecosystem together with hair follicules or in sebaceous glands. Sebocytes play a key role in skin health by producing sebum. These cells are now at the center of researchers'
Measure antioxidative capacities of your samples
Free radicals and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules generated by normal cellular processes, environmental stress, and UV irradiation. ROS react with numerous cellular components
Easy and sensitive methods to measure antioxidative potential
Free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules that are generated by normal cellular processes, environmental stress, and UV irradiation. ROS react with cellular components,
Exosomes as a trigger for signaling
Extracellular vesicles in general, or exosomes in particular, are becoming a hot topic for research, especially in cancer. They seem to have different roles in tumour progression or can be used as
PBMCs & drug development
Use of human samples including peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)Â in drug discovery is critical for increasing the chances of success for a small molecule screen hit. A review based on recent
New in vitro cellular model for human Lipodystrophy
Lipodystrophies are disorders characterized by complete or selective loss of adipose tissue from various regions of the body. They might lead to severe metabolic disorders. The development of reliable
Anti cellulite compound evaluation with in vitro adipocyte-assays
Mechanisms leading to cellulite formation is complex. It involves lipid regulatory pathways and proinflammatory cross-talk that represent promising molecular targets in cosmetology. This post introduces
Cell-based assays with hPBMCs for cell therapy and drug discovery
Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (hPBMCs) are essential for designing cellular models to be used in cell therapy and drug discovery research programs [1-7, 12]. Being able to access reliable and
Biomolecule conjugation - how to biotinylate with reproducible results?
Biomolecule conjugation is critical to many applications such as bead-based assays, ELISA and chromatography by affinity. Unfortunately the classical methods are known to be tedious and with low efficiency.
Improve MS-based biomarker determination with immunocapture
During the past decade, mass spectrometry, notably LC/MS, has become a major approach to identify and quantify proteins in patient samples. It includes analysis before treatments to find the proper biomarkers
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
