1. NEW Video: Novel In Vivo Reprogramming Technology for Brain Repair

Gong Chen, Professor and Verne M. Willaman Chair in Life Sciences, Department of Biology, Pennsylvania State University, USA, discusses his lab’s innovative research into in vivo reprogramming for brain repair. The technology may have a broad range of applications, including neural repair after brain or spinal cord injury and neurodegenerative disease. Watch video>>

2. Application Note: Drug Extraction from Rat Brain

In this case study, the Precellys and Minilys homogenizers are used to reliably extract drugs from soft tissues for DM&PK testing. Comparable drug levels were extracted in a fast, cross-contamination free and highly reproducible process. Download application note>>

3. Product News: ReNeuron to use Cellmate Automated Cell Culture for Stem Cell-based Stroke Therapy

Learn how the TAP Biosystems’ Cellmate automated cell culture system will be used by ReNeuron to automate T-flask processing of its CTX neural stem cell therapy to treat patients disabled by the effects of stroke and critical limb ischemia. Product information>>

4. Application Note: DRAQ7™, a Unique Far‐Red Viability Dye Used as a Measurement of Cell Viability in Patient-Derived Glioblastoma Stem Cells

Reliably assay cell health in 2D or 3D at end-point or in real-time using BioStatus’s far-red cell viability probe, DRAQ7™. This application note demonstrates the use of DRAQ7 for the analysis of patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells cultures. Download application note>>

5. Application Note: Corning® PureCoat™ Amine Supports Cell Attachment and Differentiation of Neural Cells

Many researchers self-coat vessels to enhance neural cell attachment, a time-consuming process which may result in lot-to-lot and plate-to-plate inconsistencies, often leading to experimental rework. This application note reports that Corning PureCoat amine supports both neural cell attachment and differentiation. Download application note>>

6. Application Note: Confocal Raman Imaging in Life Science - Living Cells and Tissues

Learn how the WITec Raman-AFM Microscope systems provide flexibility to adjust imaging technique, while software enables comprehensive evaluation of the acquired data and the generation of depth profiles and 3D images. A case study demonstrates how Raman imaging, with the WITec alpha500, can be used for successful large-area scanning of a hamster brain cross section.  Download application note>>
