Our reagents have a long history of enabling neurodegenerative disease research. Some of the highlights include our Human 3D Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) Model (cat. 3D45002) being used in Alzheimer's research and our Rabbit Polyclonal GFAP antibody (cat. RA22101) being utilized in a Parkinson's disease study. Then, we see there is a just-released study that will be immediately added to the highlight reel.
Researchers from the Mayo Clinic used our Premium US Origin Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) (cat. FBS001) to culture HEK293E cells and primary human dermal fibroblasts in a new publication. The investigators focused their research on PINK1, a protein involved in mitophagy. They set out to build a method to sensitively detect and quantify PINK1 protein expression, which previously did not exist.
The scientists developed a sandwich ELISA to measure PINK1 levels in various cells. The research will have major implications for further understanding the involvement of PINK1 in neurodegenerative diseases, especially Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. You can read the full paper here.
Our selection of products with applications in neurodegenerative disease research includes a wide selection of antibodies, human cells, and FBS options. Furthermore, you can see all the ways that customers are implementing our reagents in their projects here.
