Rat liver tritosomes in the endosome-lysosome pathway
Rat liver tritosomes are hepatic lysosomes that have been loaded with Tyloxapol (Triton WR 1339), a non-ionic surfactant. Tyloxapol is taken up by hepatocytes through endocytosis and is trafficked to lysosomal
Genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors for live cell discovery
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
Sekisui XenoTech Awarded Cryopreservation Patent for Cryostax single freeze hepatocytes
Sekisui XenoTech has just been issued U.S. Patent No. 9,642,355 for the “cryopreservation of cells and subcellular fractions,” specifically related to Sekisui XenoTech’s CryostaX® test systems. This hepatocyte
cAMP signals visualized in live human pancreatic primary cells
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
ADME-Tox: liver fractions with High Aldehyde Oxidase and Xanthine Oxidase Activity
Sekisui XenoTech has just established a method for high Aldehyde Oxidase and Xanthine Oxidase activity in pooled Human liver test systems.
These new test systems (Pooled Human Liver S9 and cytosol) have
Tips for primary cell culture
Functionality and viability of primary cells can be impaired by incorrect thawing procedures, storage or culture conditions. It's generally admitted that applying the same protocols as for cell lines
Subcellular fractions for ADME studies: broad custom capacities with strong expertise
Over the years, Sekisui XenoTech has built up a strong expertise in preparing subcellular fractions for ADME applications.
There is a list of the fractions readily available for prompt delivery across
Fatty Liver Disease Research: new Tissue Arrays and microsome pool
Sekisui XenoTech now offers human liver tissue microarrays (TMA) and a microsomal pool for studying and developing new treatments for fatty liver disease (FLD). The microsomes and arrays feature non-alcoholic
