New SARS-CoV/ACE2 inhibitor assays & small molecules for drug discovery
Many initiatives led by worldwide scientific networks are currently being launched to decipher cellular mechanisms involved in SARS-CoV-2 cellular entry. For example, a recent study has identified 332
Immunoassay development: reliable sources of quality reagents
We understand how crucial it is to have access to sustainable, quality sources of reagents when developing and/or producing the same immunoassays over long periods of times. Over the years, we've established
COVID-19: relevant cell culture models
One of the challenges in respiratory research in general, and for COVID-19 related projects in particular, is to have access to relevant in vitro cell culture models. Human lung epithelium models are currently
Where to find a sensitive Hyaluronic Acid (HA) quantitative assay
Hyaluronic acid (also called HA or Hyaluronan) is a glycosaminoglycan with elevated viscosity, enabling tissues (eye, skin, joint and synovial fluid...) to resist to physical and mechanical constraints
Reprogramming stem cells: a new innovative technology for the development of consistent and functional human cells
To overcome current cell model limitations, bit.bio have developed a new, innovative technology to reprogram human stem cells with precise control of transcription factor expression through iPSC engineering.
Consistent, scalable human iPSC-derived glutamatergic neurons and skeletal myocytes
As detailed in a separate post, bit.bio have developed a novel cellular reprogramming technology, opti-ox™1 (optimized inducible overexpression), that can generate functional cells with high consistency
ADCC and SARS-CoV-2 - how is their destiny linked?
Since its emergence in 2019, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly spread to become the major health issue of the past two years. But it's also a research field of interest
Hepatocyte Pellets - why should you make the switch?
You may have heard about the patented CryostaX® format of hepatocyte pellets, but do you know why SEKISUI XenoTech and countless other researchers have made the switch from traditional hepatocyte
3 solutions for optimal cryopreservation of mammalian cells and tissues
Cell viability after cryopreservation is a sensitive subject as it may be dependent on the ability of mammalian cells to face the stress generated by the freeze / thaw cycles. Improving cell viability
ELISA : Quality Control and Performance Evaluation
The ELISA test (acronym of Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay) is a test principally used In immunology to detect and/or assay a protein, antigen or antibody in a biological fluid sample . It has many practical
New cancer treatment may reawaken the immune system
Cancer is a disease caused by abnormal cell growth. The cells’ genetic material is corrupted and the metabolic processes do not interact well with them anymore. They grow unchecked, mostly in the form
