3D Bioprinting With Neuromics ISOKine Proteins
Along with our often-featured human cells, media, and antibodies, Neuromics offers a large selection of recombinant proteins. We'd like to focus on ISOKine recombinant proteins, which use a unique technology for their production. Furthermore, one was used in a newly released study.
Researchers from the Department of Developmental BioEngineering at the University of Twente used our ISOKine Human Fibroblast Growth Factor basic (bFGF) recombinant protein (cat. PR80001) in 3D bioprinting research published earlier this month. The bFGF was used to supplement media for the culture of human mesenchymal stem cells. The scientists introduced a dual cross-linkable hydrogel with the potential to produce engineered tissues, drug discovery models, and lab-grown meat. Read the full study here.

ISOKine plant-based proteins are highly purified, endotoxin-free, and produced in an eco-friendly manner. They are all produced in barley grain (Hordeum vulgare), meaning they are free from animal and human components, antibiotics, and contaminants. The proteins are perfect for use in stem cell culture.

A Collection of Products for Cancer Researchers
At it's heart, Neuromics is a neuroscience company, featuring a variety of reagents perfect for any neuroscientist. However, the applications of our offerings certainly don't stop there - check out the hundreds of publications to see for yourself. Today, we'd like to highlight the products we have available for cancer researchers.
To start, we'd like to point to some research with repurposed neuroscience tools. Glioblastoma research published last month demonstrates our Primary Human Neurons (cat. HNC001) and Human Brain Astrocytes (cat. HMP202) both have applications in cancer research as well. The researchers used our cells to compare the expression of GPC2 in healthy neurons and astrocytes with cancerous tissue when looking at a potential target for therapy. In addition to our cells, the researchers also used media and other culturing products supplied by Neuromics. Check out the full publication here.
