How to do a Proper Cell Culture Quick Check

In order to successfully work with mammalian cell lines, they must be grown under controlled conditions and require their own specific growth medium. In addition, to guarantee consistency their growth must be monitored at regular intervals. This article describes a typical workflow for subculturing an adherent cell line with detailed illustrations of all of the necessary steps.

Fluorescent Dyes

A basic principle in fluorescence microscopy is the highly specific visualization of cellular components with the help of a fluorescent agent. This can be a fluorescent protein – for example GFP – genetically linked to the protein of interest. If cloning is impossible – for instance in histologic samples – techniques such as immunofluorescence staining are used to visualize the protein of interest.

Diseases Linked to Scaffold Proteins and Signaling

This article shows how diseases related to scaffold proteins and protein signaling can be studied in zebrafish models efficiently with a THUNDER Imager.

The Week in Memes and Tweets

Welcome to the end of the week! It’s been a rather on-brand one from the right, from swipes at Dr. Jill Biden, to kicking Rep. Ilhan Omar off the Foreign Relations committee, to Chinese balloons causing red state panic. This edition is freebie thank you to my paid supporters, but it’s available to all for this month. Note: if you’re on social security or disability income, drop me an email and I’ll turn to one of our Democracy Defenders to get you covered!
