Lentiviral vectors have proven invaluable for introducing genetic material into mammalian cells, either in culture or whole animals. Lentiviruses, derived from a replication incompetent HIV vector, infect most cell types, including neurons.

In 2013, what many called one of the most important advances for neuroanatomy was published in the journal Nature. CLARITY, a new method developed by scientists at Stanford University, was found to produce structurally sound and transparent tissues that are ready for multiple rounds of antibody labeling and imaging.

Worthington's Tissue Dissociation Guide assists researchers with selecting enzymes, developing and optimizing protocols and better understanding the process of enzymatic primary cell isolation and tissue dissociation.

Have you ever thought, “Optical splitters—great idea but so hard to use!” They hold out the promise of more efficient multi-wavelength imaging, but need careful alignment. The slightest bump of the microscope table or stomp in the neighboring lab can disrupt the setup.

α-Synuclein is a small, pre-synaptic protein enriched in neural tissue. Evidence suggests it has a role in membrane trafficking and integration of synaptic signaling processes. Dysfunctional regulation of α-Synuclein is tightly associated with several neurodegenerative disorders, including multiple-system atrophy, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.

Worthington's 2015-16 Catalog and Product Guide is now available and features new enzymes and biochemical and primary cell isolation kits for applications in life science research, diagnostics and biotechnology.

The Eppendorf µCuvette G1.0 is optimally designed for accurate and reliable measurements of microvolumes of concentrated molecules, like proteins and nucleic acids. Users can easily pipette samples as small as 1.

mHypoA-POMC/GFP-1-4  (CLU500-CLU503) and mPitA-POMC/GFP-1 (CLU504).

Company will introduce new products for their UltraMicroscope and TriM Scope microscopy products at the SfN 2014 annual meeting.

Lena Biosciences introduces a robust and easy to use SeedEZ 3D cell culture drug screening system supporting consistent yet complex 3D cell culture, co-culture and multilayered tissue models with immune and inflammatory components.
