  2. 13 Technical Tips for Successful Primary Cell Culture

    GFAP Expression in Astrocytes

    When working with primary cells, it is important to remember that they are not cell lines and should be treated with care. At ScienCell, we specialize in primary cell culture and we are very familiar with the common problems researchers encounter when culturing them. We have compiled a list with 13

  4. Not All Primary Cells are Created Equal.

    Not All Primary Cells are Created Equal.

    Primary cells, which are isolated directly from tissue, show normal cell morphology and maintain many of the important markers and functions seen in vivo. Primary cells, though, have a finite lifespan and limited expansion capacity, so it is critical to use low passage primary cells for your research.

  5. Primary Neurons vs Neuronal Cell Lines

    Primary Neurons vs Neuronal Cell Lines

    Neuronal cell lines are commonly used for in vitro neurobiology studies because they are more easily transfected compared to primary neurons and they proliferate, whereas primary neurons do not. Neuronal cell lines can be induced to differentiate into neuron-like cells, where they express neuronal markers

  6. Perspectives on Cancer

    Perspectives on Cancer

    Cancer is a collection of over 200 diseases where the only common denominator is rogue cells1,2.  The ways in which a cell can go rogue is so varied that cancer has its own separate biology where order and normalcy are not readily apparent.  Cancer does not even have to be solid.  Indeed, blood

  7. Science Olympics: The effects of exercise on circulation and gene regulation

    Science Olympics: The effects of exercise on circulation and gene regulation

    After watching displays of astounding athletic prowess in the 2016 Olympics, I was inspired to take a closer look at the science behind exercise training, recovery, and injury with a focus on the importance of blood vessels during exercise.

    Let’s start with some basic training: Why are blood vessels

  8. Why is basal media and supplement important in cell culture?

    Why is basal media and supplement important in cell culture?

    Choosing which media to use with your primary cells can be daunting. Whether you are replicating a formula from a publication, optimizing your own supplemented classical or nutrient media, or purchasing commercially available specialty media, it is important to understand how this choice will affect

  9. Classical Media vs Specialty Media

    Classical Media vs Specialty Media

    For decades, researchers have been culturing cells to study normal and diseased biological processes. Many of these studies use immortalized cell lines which proliferate indefinitely in culture. Immortalized cells thrive in classical media formulated with the minimum requirements for cell growth, including
