3D cell culture validation - impact of physioxic conditions on TIMP-1 expression
When compared to 2D conventional cell culture systems, experimental data obtained with 3D cell culture models have been shown in many instances to be more biologically relevant, closer
Discover the world's first Intracellular Polyamine Imaging Reagent
With their polycationic properties, polyamine organic compounds are involved in various biological functions (DNA-RNA interaction, gene expression...), and can also be considered as cancer marker.
New CryostaX® Rodent Hepatocytes - largest pools available, easy-to-use pellet format
Sekisui XenoTech have announced the addition of Rodent Hepatocytes to their patented CryostaX® product line.
The CryostaX® in vitro drug discovery and preclinical drug
Human Liver Lysosomes for in vitro catabolism testing
In this post, I'd like to introduce the Human liver Lysosomes developed by Sekisui-Xenotech, which have opened up a new era in catabolism models. Read on to learn more, and also to download a case study
CAR T-Cell therapy: new hope for Immunotherapy and Cancer treatment
Personalized treatment for cancer reached a new milestone with the FDA approval of CAR T-cells for treatment of leukemia and lymphoma. There is now rapid growth in research on the therapeutic uses of
Luciferase promoter reporter clones
Cell-based assays, screening for pathway activation or inhibition are classically done with promoter reporter clones expressing Firefly luciferase. Brighter, more stable, more sensitive, more convenient
Achieve success with RNA-based CRISPR-CAS9 knock-out
RNA-based CRISPR-CAS9 gene editing is a vector-free approach that is required for therapeutic perspectives. However, from a practical point of view, what appears as a major challenge to engineer
How to produce high yield capped mRNA
Messenger RNA can be used for protein expression into the cells. The delivery of mRNA is the delivery of a new function that can activate a biological process. In the particular case of the CAS9 mRNA,
How to obtain reliable DNA and RNA quantitation
The iQuant kits developped by ABP Bioprobes provide accurate quantitation of DNA and RNA with a wide range including high sensitivity. They are useful for NGS applications, qPCR analysis, and in
Lympholyte®: The ideal tool for simple and viable lymphocytes isolation
High quality isolation of lymphocytes is a key step in many in vitro research programs covering immunology, infectious diseases and oncology. To simplify this step, CEDARLANE®
Hepatic Hyaluronan Content increased by Alcohol Consumption in Patients with Liver Steatosis
In a previous post, I introduced Sekisui Xenotech's Research Biobank, which is based on rejections from liver transplantation as opposed to post-mortem tissues, thus offering a guarantee
shRNA set with improved performances
Optimal knock-down can be done by a shRNA sequence that depends on the gene expression level and the cell type. Usually, 4 shRNA should be tested to find the one inducing a minimum of 70% increase of the
