Fluorescent thermometer for living cells
Thousands of researchers spend time pampering their primary cells and cell lines every day, with the aim of defining their optimal cell culture conditions. Researchers are in effect trying to control
Rolipram slows tau accumulation and AD
Cost-efficient pre-optimized transfection reagents
The main challenge when choosing a transfection reagent is that we don't know how it will work with our own cell type of interest. It is also time consuming to find the optimal conditions. Well, here's
How to detect Singlet Oxygen by live cell imaging?
Singlet Oxygen (1O2) fluorescent detection in living cells was limited by the lack of availability of cell membrane permeable dyes. The silicon-based far-red fluorescent probe (Si-DMA) has been especially
Live cell imaging of Actin, Tubulin & DNA - SLAS conference
In the autumn of 2014, we presented new stains to conduct live cell imaging of Actin and Tubulin, which I covered in my post 2 new Actin and Tubulin live-cell imaging stains – without transfection!
MitoPeDPP: a new mitochondrial fluorescent probe for live cell imaging
Dojindo just completed its offer in the field of mitochondrial research with the release of a unique fluorescent dye for live cell imaging. This post introduces this new MitoPeDPP mitochondrial probe.
SiR fluorogenic probes: multicolour live-cell Imaging of Actin, Tubulin, DNA, and Lysosomes
How to monitor mitophagy in mammalian cells
Mitochondria keep cells "healthy" in their environment. In this post, we'll take a look at a new fluorescent assay for the monitoring of mitophagy, a process aimed at clearing damaged or superfluous mitochondria
3 new mitochondrial research reagents
Research tools aimed at exploring mitochondria are becoming more and more popular and cover multiple experimental applications. They go from primary antibodies validated for immuno-assays (seeÂ
LipiDye fluorescent probe for lipid droplet monitoring in live cells
LipiDye lipid droplet Green* is a new highly sensitive fluorescent probe for detecting lipid droplets in live or fixed cells. In this, let's review the characteristics of this dye which is compatible
