Mesenchymal Stem Cell Medium-animal component free (Cat. #7521) For decades, Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) has been a vital supplement for the successful culture of a
13 Technical Tips for Successful Primary Cell Culture
When working with primary cells, it is important to remember that they are not cell lines and should be treated with care. At ScienCell, they specialise in primary cell culture and are very familiar with the common problems researchers encounter
Cancer Immunotherapy: A Colourful Past and A Bright Future
cancer_immunotherapy Cancer immunotherapy is one promising cancer treatment option whereby the host’s own immune system is used to treat cancer. The therapy works by either stimulating certain immune activities, or counteracting cancer cell signals that suppress immune
Value of qPCR in the Next Generation Sequencing Era
Next generation sequencing (NGS), such as Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and RNA-Sequencing (RNA-Seq), provides a high throughput approach for DNA sequencing and gene expression analysis. It is rapidly advancing our knowledge on almost all aspects of genetic research and shedding
Primary Neurons vs Neuronal Cell Lines
Neuronal cell lines are commonly used for in vitro neurobiology studies because they are more easily transfected compared to primary neurons and they proliferate, whereas primary neurons do not. Neuronal cell lines can be induced to differentiate into neuron-like cells,
Aging and Telomere Length Quantification by qPCR
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
CnT-Prime Mesenchymal Stem Cell Medium
The new CnT-Prime MSC medium offers class-leading culture of both bone marrow and adipose-derived MSCs. The growth rates of adipose-derived MSC exceeds key competitors (see image at right), all without using plate coatings! Cells growing in CnT-Prime MSC medium also
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
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
