Application note: GABAA Receptors

11 December 2018 | By

SB Drug Discovery shows the validation of fluorescence and automated electrophysiology assays designed to assess agonists, antagonists and allosteric modulators of these receptors, culminating in a high-throughput electrophysiology assay suited to assessing multiple GABAA receptor subtypes on a single assay plate.

Application note: Production of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cortical neurospheres in the DASbox® Mini Bioreactor System

29 November 2018 | By

There is substantial interest in the scientific community in using human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived neural cells to study basic mechanisms of brain development, neuronal function, and drug-induced effects. In vitro-generated brain organoids are promising models, because they show a remarkable degree of maturation and can be kept in…
