The Power of ISOkine Stem Cell Growth Factors
What Endotoxin, Animal and Serum Free Means to YouISOkine™ growth factors are produced in barley, bypassing the use of bacterial or animal cell systems.Why Does this Matter? Proteins produced in bacterial systems contain trace Endotoxins (toxins produced by the bacterial hosts). Studies show that these Endotoxins can compromise health of your stem cell based assays. Animal and human cell expression systems pose risk to your assays, because they may harbor pathogens.They are Low Cost and Work in the Hands of our Customers: "The ISOKine mouse LIF is an excellent product! I enjoyed dealing with Neuromics. My interactio...

Curcumin and Aging Health
Cellular Uptake Matters-Not All Curcumin Based Supplements Are Created EqualThere have been many academic publications on the miracles of Curcumin for Aging Health. Here's a description of its therapeutic properties: The desirable preventive or putative therapeutic properties of curcumin have also been considered to be associated with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Because free-radical-mediated peroxidation of membrane lipids and oxidative damage of DNA and proteins are believed to be associated with a variety of chronic pathological complications such as cancer, atherosclerosis, and neurodegenerative di...

The Roots of Anxiety Induced Pain
Conclusion: pain-induced anxiety is mediated by CRF neurotransmission in the LC through ERK1/2 signaling cascade.Figure: a) Schematic representation of the anatomical pathways implicated. Briefly, the contralateral LC indirectly receives inputs from the inflamed paw (red dashed line; ascending pathways) and, subsequently, the information is sent to corticolimbic areas. Additionally, the LC sends direct projections to the spinal cord (blue straight line; descending pathways). b) Body weight of the control and MA rats. c) Body rectal temperature of control and MA rats. d) Mechanical hyperalgesia represented by a significant ...
