Proven Stem Cell Markers and Multiple Applications
More Bang for Your Buck!Our Stem Cell Markers remain a growth engine for Neuromics. One of the reasons that you would want to check out offerings are that we have selected markers that can be used in multiple applications.For example, many of our markers can be used for immunostaining assays to confirm your stem cells are expressing the correct proteins and then these calls can further characterized and purified by Flow Cytometry, Here's an example of  one of our Nestins being used for these two applications.Figures: (A): Nestin is present in both cell lines, .

Markers for Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells (OPCs)
Improving OPC ExpansionThe data provided in this publication demonstrates that the OPC yield from SVZ-derived cell cultures can be improved with the PDGF-BB isoform in comparison to classical bFGF-EGF, or PDGF-AA-based protocols. Additionally, it would be expected that the OPC-enriched cultures obtained from NSC/NPC exposure to PDGF-BB and heparin generate cells suitable for cell transplantation for treating demyelinating diseases.

The Importance of in vivo Like Astroglial-Neuron Co-Cultures
What We Have LearnedI have many posting on both Neuron and Astroglial Cultures. We have now evolved our solution set to include in vivo like co-cultures. These Astroglial Neuron Co-cultures are designed to mimic in vivo like behaviors. They are potent, pure and proven to work in our clients' unique neurodegenerative disease and toxicity drug discovery assays.Why is this important? The mix of Astrocytes, Glia and Neurons in your co-cultures can impact your data endpoints and lead to inaccurate conclusions. Here're examples as to how much your data can fluctuate. These are data generated from toxicity assays.We stand re...
