Chronic inflammation is an underlying factor in the development and progression of many of the chronic diseases of aging, such as arthritis, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and cancer.
What is endotoxin? Frequently asked questions about bacterial endotoxin contamination of in vitro cell cultures. Details about how to endotoxin test using the LAL assay, common sources of laboratory endotoxin contamination and tips on how to avoid endotoxin contamination when
Ensuring adequate cell growth is a critical part of collecting accurate data with cell cultures. Cells can be cultured in suspension, or as a monolayer that attaches to cultureware, such as a flask, dish or multiwell plate.
Identification of cell culture media samples by traditional LC methods, such as amino acid or vitamin analysis, has high costs, and requires significant analytical expertise and laboratory space.
The table was compiled to assist the researcher in selecting references most likely to contain relevant information regarding use of Percoll in various cell types.
Common Cell Culture Problems: Cell Clumping -- Cells in suspension may attach to one another and form clumps for a variety of reasons. The most common cause of cell clumping is the presence of free DNA and cell debris in
Fibronectin (FN) is a multifunctional, extracellular plasma glycoprotein produced by hepatocytes that circulates at near micromolar concentration and assembles into extracellular matrix fibrils at cell surfaces along with locally produced cellular FN.
Density Marker Beads are dyed derivatives of Sephadex™. There are ten color-coded bead types, each with a specific density. They have been specifically formulated for use in Percoll gradients and will not work with other media. Using Density Marker Beads
Lung organoids are valuable 3D models for human lung development and respiratory diseases. The 3dGRO™ differentiation protocol generates organoids from human iPSCs in 4 steps.
