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
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
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
Fluorescence microscopy: how to improve your Live Cell Imaging
For more than 2 years now, the Silicon Rhodamine-like (SiR) technology has allowed the live cell imaging field with fluorescence microscopy to evolve significantly.

Human Islets for Research - Which factors affect their quality?
The islets of Langerhans are the regions of the pancreas that contain its endocrine (i.e., hormone-producing) cells. Discovered in 1869 by German pathological anatomist Paul Langerhans, the islets of Langerhans
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
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
3 new types of Gastrointestinal (GI) Epithelial primary cells
Gastrointestinal (GI) primary cells represent a powerful approach for the in vitro study of the physiopathology of this unique tissue. Researchers have now identified intimate
