Human Plasma and Serum as Cell Culture Stimuli — A Practical Guide for Researchers
Traditional in vitro cell culture relies on simplified stimuli — single cytokines, LPS, synthetic growth factor cocktails — that were never designed to replicate the full complexity of human blood. A growing body of peer-reviewed evidence now demonstrates that applying human plasma or serum directly to cultured cells produces more physiologically relevant and translationally meaningful […]

ciPTEC Zelllinie
19% aller Phase-III-Versagen in der Arzneimittelentwicklung sind auf Nephrotoxizität zurückzuführen. Nur 2% davon werden präklinisch erkannt — mit dem Standardmodell HK-2. Diese Lücke kostet die pharmazeutische Industrie jährlich Milliarden und verzögert sichere Medikamente für Patienten. Der Grund ist biologisch eindeutig: HK-2-Zellen exprimieren weder OAT1 noch OAT3 noch OCT2 — die Transporter, die für den Großteil […]
HEK293 vs. Sf9 Vesicles for ABC Transporter Assays — Which System Delivers More Reliable DMPK Data?
When selecting an ABC transporter vesicle kit for in-house DMPK screening, one question consistently surfaces in DMPK departments and preclinical safety teams: should you use vesicles derived from HEK293 cells or from Sf9 insect cells? Buy ABC transporter vesicle kits (HEK293-derived) Request a quote for P-gp, BCRP, BSEP and MRP vesicle kits for in vitro […]
