Fluorescent ShK toxin for Kv1.3 ion channels
Kv1.3 channels are expressed in T-cell lymphocytes and over-expressed in autoimmune diseases. They can be see as a therapeutic taget for T cell mediated autoimmune diseases.
ShK toxin (Stichodactyla helianthus
Don't miss any neurotrophin!
Neurotrophins are important biomarkers in Neurobiology, including stem cell development to neural lineages. BDNF and NGF are the ones being studied in most cases. However, it has been found that neurotrophins
Cell counting made easy!
After you've read this post, I hope that you'll agree that what the title of the post announces is the right assumption. How? Read on!
I invite you to take a look at Cyto-X, which is a ready-for-use
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,
Antibiotics and microbial metabolites - revisited
What are metabolites?
Microorganisms live in a world of chemical signals. They use small molecular weight compounds, known as metabolites, to regulate their own growth and development, to encourage other
Get your ELISA results before lunch!
ELISAs are widely used in biomarker-related studies, especially when a high number of samples is involved, and only a few biomarkers need to be quantified. That said, incubations can be somehow cumbersome,
Neuroregenerative effects of microtubule stabilizing Epothilone B
Epothilone B is a bioactive microtubule-stabilizing small molecule. This blood-brain barrier permeable coumpound belongs to the most popular potent cytoskeletal modeling molecules for in vitro cell based
High resolution structure of the TRPA1 channel protein
One of the hottest news last month was the high resolution structure of the TRPA1 ion channel protein.
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
Using CRISPR to knockout an essential gene
Genome editing technology enabled by CRISPR and TALEN has become mainstream. Most cell biology labs are engaged in projects to create custom cell lines with knock-outs and knock-ins, and companies such
