Placental stem cells could treat heart failure
13 February, 2015An international research team has found that stem cells collected from the placenta, which is generally discarded after childbirth, show promise as a treatment for heart failure.
Biological Industries MSC Go hMSC differentiation kits
04 February, 2015Biological Industries (BI) has launched innovative hMSC differentiation kits for research and stem-cell-based therapies. The serum- and xeno-free differentiation kits provide the ability to efficiently differentiate hMSC from various sources into adipocytes, chondrocytes and osteoblasts.
Merck Millipore guava easyCyte 12 flow cytometer
04 February, 2015Merck Millipore offers the guava easyCyte 12 flow cytometer, a simple and powerful benchtop method for multicolour flow cytometry. The system has been shown to detect particles as small as 0.2 μm, which is said to be a significant improvement over typical flow cytometers.

21 January, 2015Understanding why cells undergo senescence (biological ageing) and how it can affect complex biological processes is an important research area. Enzo Life Sciences offers a broad range of products for ageing research.
Kidney-like structure regenerated from a single cell
03 December, 2014Japanese researchers have successfully generated a kidney-like structure from just a single cell, thus making a huge leap forward in organ regeneration research.
Merck Millipore Amnis NFкB Translocation kit
25 November, 2014The Amnis NFкB Translocation kit allows researchers to study the nuclear translocation of NFкB - a transcription factor that plays a central role in regulating key mammalian cell processes, including proliferation, inflammation, immune and stress responses.
The bioprinted liver
21 November, 2014Bioprinted liver tissue containing both parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells in spatially controlled, user-defined geometries that reproduce compositional and architectural features of native tissue are making it possible to assess drug effects over timeframes much longer than those offered by 2D liver cell culture systems.
Scientists grow human tendons for the first time
07 November, 2014 by Dylan Bushell-EmblingScientists from regenerative medicine company Orthocell have succeeded in growing human tendons in a laboratory for the first time. In a collaboration with the University of Western Australia, Curtin University, Griffith University and the University of Auckland, the researchers used a bioreactor to grow the functonal human tendons.
Merck Millipore SNAP i.d. 2.0 protein detection system for immunohistochemistry
04 November, 2014Merck Millipore has introduced the SNAP i.d. 2.0 protein detection system for immunohistochemistry (IHC), which is said to streamline immunohistochemistry workflows and decrease slide handling time.
Collaboration to measure metabolism of 3D microtissue
28 October, 2014The US-based Seahorse Bioscience and Moffitt Cancer Center have received an SBIR contract, through the National Cancer Institute, to develop a reproducible method that will enable the measurement of metabolism of 3D microtissue.
