Low-cost, high-throughput device for single-cell RNA sequencing

23/07/2018 by Dimitri Szymczak, PhD Leave a Comment

The main challenge in RNA-sequencing workflow is certainly library preparation. When it’s question of single-cell isolation and so 10-100 picogram of total RNA, the challenge may become mission impossible… Today, we’re pleased to present a smart and simple device, to solve both single cell isolation and to help with library preparation.

EpiCypher2018 – Biological and Clinical Frontiers in Epigenetics

28/05/2018 by Sara Pierre Leave a Comment

Following the success of the previous EpiCypher meetings, we’re pleased to announce this year’s meeting by one of our partners EpiCypher.

EpiCypher2018 - Biological and Clinical Frontiers in Epigenetics - tebu-bio

EpiCypher2018: Biological and Clinical Frontiers in Epigenetics will feature keynote addresses by Dr. C. David Allis and Dr. Kristian Helin.

Dr. Allis is the Joy and Jack Fishman Professor and Head of the Laboratory of Chromatin Biology and Epigenetics at The Rockefeller University. Dr. Helin is a Professor at the University of Copenhagen and the director of the Danish National Research Foundation’s Centre for Epigenetics.

The plenary session talks will cover broad aspects of epigenetics and chromatin biology, ranging from basic molecular mechanisms to therapeutic efforts. There will be discussions around the elucidation of novel mechanisms, new tools, and other breaking topics in epigenetics and chromatin research.

AIM Biochips – 3D cell culture platform for Immunotherapy and T Cell therapy studies

18/05/2018 by Frédéric Samazan Leave a Comment

As mentioned in a previous post the DAX Biochips from AIM Biotech are an innovative and versatile microfluidic platform, allowing researchers to more easily develop 3D cell culture models, to work as close as possible to what occurs in the human body, but under in-vitro conditions.

Due to its innovative structure (as seen in this general AIM Chips flyer), a broad range of applications have already been validated on this model (Cellular Migration-Invasion Analysis / Angiogenesis studies / Metstasis Modeling System), but what’s new is that now Immunotherapy and T-Cell Therapy studies can be performed on this technology.

New: Nipah Virus G Protein and antibodies for developing specific NiV ELISA test

06/04/2018 by Philippe Fixe, PhD Leave a Comment

Nipah Virus Infection (NiV) is an emerging infectious disease of public health importance in the South-East Asia Region (source: World Health Organization). Along with Hendra virus (HeV), NiV is part of a new genus designated Henipavirus. Fruit bats have been identified as the natural reservoirs. Nevertheless, pigs, horses, goats, sheep, cats and dogs can also be infected and transmit the virus.

Symptoms of NiV infection are similar to influenza and in some cases can lead to encephalitis. The case fatality rate is high (40-70%) and there is no specific treatment. While able to bind with cellular EphrinB2, NiV G Protein (NiV-G) exhibits the antigenic epitopes and conformation necessary for specific antigen–antibody recognition. For this reason, Meridian Life Science have recently developed new Nipah virus glycoprotein (NiV-G) products suitable for the R&D projects of NiV using ELISA tests. [Read more…]

Find high performing monoclonal antibodies for your Renin-specific ELISA tests

30/03/2018 by Philippe Fixe, PhD Leave a Comment

Released by the kidneys, Renin is an enzyme which belongs to the Renin-Angiotensin system (RAS) and is involved in blood pressure homeostasis.

In healthcare, Renin assay blood tests can be performed to find the cause of high blood pressure (hypertension). When tested alongside with Aldosterone measurements, one can obtain a complete understanding of an individual’s hormone balance.

In preclinical and fundamental research, a Renin ELISA test therefore becomes of interest to monitor this biomarker in various disease states particularly when analyzed together with other biomarkers like Aldosterone and Cortisol. Different disorders can then be differentiated such as Primary and Secondary Hyperaldosteronism, Cushing syndrome, and Addison’s disease (adrenal insufficiency)… [Read more…]

Where to find antigens and antibodies for Enterovirus-specific Assay development

26/03/2018 by Philippe Fixe, PhD Leave a Comment

Enteroviruses are common human viruses causing rather mild symptoms. However many different species and serotypes (incl. Echoviruses, Polioviruses, Coxsackieviruses A and B) can cause serious illness (like EV71 & Coxsackie A16 with Hand Foot and Mouth Disease or EV70 with acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis, neurologic dysfunction and permanent polio-like paralysis).

In this brief post, you will discover recent Antigen & Antibody developments made in this field by Meridian Life Sciences.
