Tumor cell line panels for targeted research
ATCC
ATCC announces the addition of ATCC Tumor Cell Panels to its
product offering for aid in cancer research, drug discovery, biomarkers and
pathway analysis. Through use of the COSMIC database, 20 genes associated with
tumorigenesis--including TP5E, CDKN2A, BRAF and KRAS--were assessed and tumor cell
lines in the ATCC collection that carried those mutations were identified, with
key cells lines parceled into easy-to-order, cost-effective panels. |

Kit for measurement of glycolytic activity in cells
Seahorse Bioscience
Seahorse Bioscience announces the addition of the XF
Glycolysis Stress Test Kit to its product portfolio for the assessment of
glycolysis and glycolytic capacity in cells. When glycolysis takes place, cells
in culture release protons and acidify the culture medium. When the XF
Glycolysis Stress Test Kit is used with the XF Analyzer, it measures, in
real-time, the change in proton concentration of the medium that surrounds the
cells as a measurement of glycolytic activity. |
