Neurons Added to the Primary Cell Lineup at Cell Applications, Nov 11, 2014
SAN DIEGO, Nov 11, 2014 -- Advances in brain and CNS research continue to unravel disease mechanisms and pathophysiologies, and provide platforms for drug screening and development. Cell Applications saw the importance of helping researchers prevent, address and treat brain injuries and dysfunction, psychiatric disorders and mental deterioration.  Likewise, advances based on neuron research may improve cognition, memory, attention, navigation and bodily control. Rat Cortical and Hippocampal Neurons from CAI are available cryopreserved, freshly isolated in suspension, or pre-plated in multiwells or on coverslips.  For ultimate neuron health and function, CAI has developed complimentary Neuron Culture Medium, the Cytofect™ Neuron Transfection Kit, Neuron Coating Solution, and Freezing Medium. When cultured under the recommended conditions, the neurons arborize and form complex neurite networks in one week. The cultures can be applied for a variety of experiments including toxicity tests, immunostaining, live cell imaging, co-culturing and electrophysiology.
