Scientists from Queen Mary, University of London have found a new therapeutic target to combat inflammation. The research, published in the journal Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, revealed tiny organelles called primary cilia are important for regulating inflammation. The findings could lead to potential therapies for millions of people who suffer from arthritis*. Dr Martin [...]
This video demonstrates how easy it is to use Bio-Rad’s TC10 automated cell counter. Shawn shows how to use the TC10 counter to count cells in less than 30 seconds before splitting them or running an experiment. He discusses the innovative auto-focus technology and how it helps to increase accuracy and reproducibility. For product information, [...]
In a paper published yesterday in the journal Developmental Cell, scientists in Manuela Baccarini’s lab at the University of Vienna, describe the involvement of the Raf1 protein kinase in angiogenesis-mediated endothelial cell adhesion. During the process of angiogenesis, endothelial cells migrate as a collective group in order to form new blood vessels. While it is [...]
Astrocytes are characteristic star-shaped glial cells in the brain and spinal cord. They perform many functions, including biochemical support of endothelial cells that form the blood–brain barrier, provision of nutrients to the nervous tissue, maintenance of extracellular ion balance, and a role in the repair and scarring process of the brain and spinal cord following [...]
