Aging is a time-dependent decline of the body’s functional capabilities and is an inevitable course of life (as shown in the image below, extracted from the Wall Street Journal). The rate of aging though is highly variable among individuals.
World’s First Pseudogene Transcription Analysis qPCR Kits
Pseudogenes have garnered substantial interest in current cell biology and pathology studies, as their transcription has been shown to be much more common and functionally important than previously thought. Pseudogene transcription analysis has garnered substantial interest in current cell biology
Not All Primary Cells are Created Equal
Primary cells, which are isolated directly from tissue, show normal cell morphology and maintain many of the important markers and functions seen in vivo. Primary cells, though, have a finite lifespan and limited expansion capacity, so it is critical to use primary
Novel Molecular Insights into Classical and Alternative Activation States of Microglia
ScienCell’s Mouse Microglia Used in Recent Microglial Activation Research Published in Molecular & Cellular Proteomics Journal Microglia are a type of macrophage-like glial cell in the central nervous system (CNS) and they function as the brain’s primary immune defenders. Upon activation, microglia may act as scavengers, remove tissue
Neurological Disease Therapy through Regulation of Reactive Oxygen Species Levels
ScienCell’s Rat Hippocampal Neurons Used in Recent Neurological Disease Therapy Research Published in Scientific Reports Journal Neurons are dynamically polarized cells responsible for electrochemically transmitting information throughout the nervous system. Scientists have characterized hundreds of neuron types based on location, morphology and gene expression. In general, there
Hidden Treasure in “Junk DNA”
3 Reasons Why You Should Take “Pseudogenes” Seriously in Your Research Protein-coding DNA, or “functional” genes, only accounts for up to 2% in the human genome. Until recently, the remaining 98% have been referred to as “junk DNA” for their
Welcome to the 3rd Dimension
Cell culturing is a widely used technique to grow cells outside of their natural environment using artificial environments and controlled conditions that has become indispensable to scientific research. The applications of cell culturing are innumerable and there are many ways
World Brain Day – Tools for Neurology Research
World Brain Day is annual initiative of the World Federation of Neurology. This year, on 22nd July, it was focused on Stroke prevention and treatment. In partnership with our global network of Life Science suppliers, we are pleased to bring
Why You Should Take “Pseudogenes” Seriously in Your Research
Protein-coding DNA, or “functional” genes, only accounts for up to 2% in the human genome. Until recently, the remaining 98% have been referred to as “junk DNA” for their putative noncoding feature. The name itself implies that junk DNA is
3D Cell Culture
Sciencell’s newest line of in vitro cell culturing products utilizes extracellular matrix to provide 3-dimensional scaffolding for a more physiologically relevant growing environment. Sciencell currently offer the following vascular biology-focused kits, however their R&D department is currently working on developing
