DDI studies: New TransiPort cells for OATP1A2 and OATP2B1 transporters
Membrane transporters can have clinically relevant effects on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a drug in various organs and tissues by controlling its absorption, distribution and elimination.
Maximize metabolic activities by limiting Hepatocyte cryoinjury
I am following up on my series of posts based on the work done by Chris Bohl and collaborators at Sekisui Xenotech. Here, he looks at the effect of cryopreservation on pooled hepatocytes metabolic activities,
HDACs: Active drug targets for Immunotherapy treatment
For many pathologies such as cancer or neurological disorders, it has been found that Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) activity is disrupted, making them promising targets for drug development. Scientists
Cancer immunotherapy: explore the cytokine "milieu" with Quantibody 200 Biomarker Service
Autologous tumour cell vaccines vs. dendritic cell vaccines: What's best, and why?
Understanding the best approach for tumour vaccinations is of growing importance in the personalized cancer immunotherapy
Neurons, Astrocytes, Microglia: High Quality primary cells source
In the field of neurosciences, increasing research is being undertaken on neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, as well as on nerve injury and regeneration. One of the
Kupffer cells in co-culture models for liver inflammation studies
Kupffer primary cells are macrophages endogenous to the liver which have the ability to modulate hepatic inflammation and injury associated with various pathophysiologies and toxicities. Pro-inflammatory
Tips and Tricks: how to increase unstable protein expression in E. Coli
Recombinant protein expression and purification for therapeutic development or for in vitro studies can sometimes be a real challenge. It requires huge investments in both time and cost in order to obtain
Cardiovascular disorders: Proteomics tool for disease signature identification
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) comprehensively describes a range of pathologies of the heart and/or blood vessels. These disorders differ markedly in time-scale of development, and relative contributory
Easy single-cell isolation with Smart Aliquotor
Single-cell isolation allows genomic and transcriptomic analysis of one individual cell. It is also required to build a monoclonal cell line from rare cell isolation, that could be for example CRISPR-CAS9
Low-cost, high-throughput device for single-cell RNA sequencing
The main challenge in RNA-sequencing workflow is certainly library preparation. When it's question of single-cell isolation and so 10-100 picogram of total RNA, the challenge may become mission impossible...
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 to clinical conditions
