Enzo Life Sciences cellular senescence assays
21 January, 2015Understanding why cells undergo senescence (biological ageing) and how it can affect complex biological processes is an important research area. Enzo Life Sciences offers a broad range of products for ageing research.
Kidney-like structure regenerated from a single cell
03 December, 2014Japanese researchers have successfully generated a kidney-like structure from just a single cell, thus making a huge leap forward in organ regeneration research.
Merck Millipore Amnis NFкB Translocation kit
25 November, 2014The Amnis NFкB Translocation kit allows researchers to study the nuclear translocation of NFкB - a transcription factor that plays a central role in regulating key mammalian cell processes, including proliferation, inflammation, immune and stress responses.
The bioprinted liver
21 November, 2014Bioprinted liver tissue containing both parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells in spatially controlled, user-defined geometries that reproduce compositional and architectural features of native tissue are making it possible to assess drug effects over timeframes much longer than those offered by 2D liver cell culture systems.
Scientists grow human tendons for the first time
07 November, 2014 by Dylan Bushell-EmblingScientists from regenerative medicine company Orthocell have succeeded in growing human tendons in a laboratory for the first time. In a collaboration with the University of Western Australia, Curtin University, Griffith University and the University of Auckland, the researchers used a bioreactor to grow the functonal human tendons.
Merck Millipore SNAP i.d. 2.0 protein detection system for immunohistochemistry
04 November, 2014Merck Millipore has introduced the SNAP i.d. 2.0 protein detection system for immunohistochemistry (IHC), which is said to streamline immunohistochemistry workflows and decrease slide handling time.
Collaboration to measure metabolism of 3D microtissue
28 October, 2014The US-based Seahorse Bioscience and Moffitt Cancer Center have received an SBIR contract, through the National Cancer Institute, to develop a reproducible method that will enable the measurement of metabolism of 3D microtissue.
Merck Millipore guava easyCyte benchtop flow cytometers
24 October, 2014Guava easyCyte flow cytometers are amenable to on-demand use in the laboratory environment and help scientists achieve insightful cellular analysis. The flow cytometry systems are easy to use and deliver complete and comprehensive cell analysis right on the benchtop.
Delivering DNA into B cells
15 October, 2014Singaporean scientists have developed a strategy to deliver foreign DNA into B cells - a group of infection-fighting white blood cells in the immune system that have proven extremely difficult to transfect without the use of dangerous viruses.
Identifying a mechanism for forming blood stem cells
20 August, 2014Scientists from the Garvan Institute of Medical Research and Monash University have uncovered a mechanism essential for forming hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) - a special group of cells in the early embryo that ultimately generate all the blood and immune cells in our bodies.
BioStatus DRAQ5 DNA dye for live and fixed cells
19 August, 2014DRAQ5 is a robust, far-red fluorescent dye that rapidly stains dsDNA and nuclei of live and fixed cells. The product is highly photo and chemically stable and easy to use, requiring no lyse, wash or RNase treatment.
Histopathology and Organ Pathology Service
06 August, 2014The Histopathology and Organ Pathology Service (HOPS) provides necropsy and histopathology services to all biomedical researchers across Australia for the evaluation and phenotyping of modified, treated or genetically engineered mice at all developmental stages.
BioStatus DRAQ7 far-red fluorescent DNA dye
22 July, 2014DRAQ7 is a non-toxic, far-red fluorescent DNA dye that only stains the nuclei in dead and permeabilised cells. The dye does not overlap with PE and homologues, making it a suitable replacement for common dyes such as propidium iodide and 7-AAD in cytotoxicity and cell viability assays.
Lonza L7 hiPSC Reprogramming and hPSC Culture System
27 June, 2014Lonza introduces its L7 hiPSC Reprogramming and hPSC Culture System for basic stem-cell research, disease modelling, drug development and regenerative medicine. The offering includes tools to simplify and streamline the stem-cell culturing and reprogramming workflow.
Promega CellTiter-Glo 3D Cell Viability Assay for 3D microtissue culture
17 June, 2014Promega has launched an assay validated for assessing the viability of cells in three-dimensional (3D) microtissue model systems. CellTiter-Glo 3D Cell Viability Assay penetrates large 3D microtissue samples to provide accurate determination of viable cells.
