Cytokines and growth factors in Bone biology
Bones are rigid organs that constitute part of the endoskeleton of vertebrates. They support and protect the various organs of the body, produce red and white blood cells and store
EndoG and ATM cell cycle checkpoint in Leukemogenesis
In a recent publication, Gole B. and Baumann C. demonstrate the role of the apoptotic nuclease EndoG in Mixed-Lineage Leukemia breakpoint cluster region (MLLbcr) destabilisation leading to MLL gene
FAQs on feeder cells for optimal human iPSC culture
Human Newborn Foreskin Fibroblasts (NuFF cells) are genuine feeder cells for Stem cell research. Mitotically inactive NuFF cells (by irradiation or Mitomycin C chemical treatment) can efficiently maintain
ATM or DNA-PKcs inhibitors synthetically lethal in BRCA- cells
Several lines of evidence show that synthetic lethal interactions targeting DNA repair pathways may have clinical applications in cancer therapy. In a recent paper, Albarakati et al. demonstrate that
Tips for Optimizing Cell Culture Conditions with Hydrogels
In a previous post on Cellular Matrices for Translational Research, I introduced HyStem hydrogels. In order to engineer a custom culture system with HyStem, simple pilot studies or optimization
Tumor growth and metastasis monitored in vivo
In vivo monitoring of tumor growth and metastasis provides a powerful means for studying cancer properties and development of effective therapies. Mouse models created with tumor xenografts, resulting
Human oligodendrocyte MO3.13 cells & Globoid cell leukodystrophy
In this paper (Role of extracellular calcium and mitochondrial oxygen species in psychosine-induced oligodendrocyte cell death), Voccoli et al. used Human oligodendrocyte MO3.13 cells to study Globoid
MDR1 activity enhancement reduces senescence markers
During the last International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC) congress (Paris, Oct. 2014), Hajem N. et al (ALES Groupe) have shown that by enhancing MDR activity of fibroblasts
Predicting CYP induction in stable cell lines
Assessing gene transcription as an endpoint for determining induction of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters has become the “method of choice” in the FDA’s latest draft Guidance for Industry drug
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
PBMCs & drug development
Use of human samples including peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in drug discovery is critical for increasing the chances of success for a small molecule screen hit. A review based on recent
HD-LCI video of HUVEC Transfection with Cytofect Kit
See human cells glow with green fluorescent protein in this time-lapse video. These images were captured over 20 hours via Lumascope 620.
