We are excited to announce that our Sox2 Antibody is now available for purchase on our website.

Sox2 (SRY-box transcription factor 2) is a key regulator of embryonic development, stem cell pluripotency, and neural progenitor identity. As part of the core pluripotency network, Sox2 works alongside Oct4 and Nanog to maintain self-renewal in stem cells, while also playing critical roles in neural lineage specification.

Our Sox2 antibody has been validated for use in immunocytochemistry (ICC) and Western blot, demonstrating performance across multiple applications.

A big shout-out to NeuraCell Core Facility for helping us make this product a reality.

July’s monthly protein feature highlights Activin A!

As a part of the TGF-β superfamily, it plays a role in immune response, wound repair, maintenance, and differentiation. Activin A interacts with SMAD2/3 receptors and regulates self-renewal pathways. Activin A is often associated with immune cells, human embryonic stem cells, and mesenchymal progenitor cells. Because of its role, Activin A has been involved in allergies, autoimmune diseases, and cancers.

Activin A has a half-life of less than 24 hours, which can cause issues in its applications in cell culture. However, by using sustained-release products, the concentration needed to maintain cell cultures can be reduced up to 10x depending on the application. This change increases cell survival and differentiation, all while reducing feeding schedules! Take a look at the StemCultures Activin A products on the website, found at the link in our bio.

Stay tuned for future featured proteins, with VEGF appearing next! DM us for any references, questions, or additional information.

June’s monthly protein feature highlights Epidermal Growth Factor, EGF.

As a part of the EGF family of ligands, it stimulates the growth of epithelial cells which are the most abundant cell type in our body. EGF binds to EGFR/ErbB receptors which triggers pathways associated with proliferation, migration, differentiation, apoptosis, and intracellular communication during development. Although widely known for promoting proliferation in fibroblasts and epithelial cells, EGFR is also expressed in neurons, showing EGF has an impact on a wide range of cell types.

Many soluble proteins have very short half-lives in culture, which can cause issues in their applications supporting cell growth. Sustaining the release of growth factors in cultures increases cell quality and production, all while reducing feeding schedules! Controlled-release EGF helps with the production of mouse neural stem cells (Slide 4). Take a look at the StemCultures EGF products on the website, found at the link in our bio.

May’s monthly protein feature highlights Glial-Derived Neurotropic Factor, GDNF.

As a part of the GDNF family of ligands (and related to TGF-β superfamily), it promotes neuronal survival, differentiation, branching and morphogenesis, and synaptic plasticity. GDNF binds to GFRα receptors and stimulates pathways including PI3K/AKT and ERK-1/ERK-2 isoforms of MAP kinase. GDNF supports several cell types including, dopaminergic neurons, noradrenergic and motor neurons, and other peripheral neurons. Although widely known for its positive impact on neural cell development, GDNF has also been shown to have some effects on non-neuronal cells such as kidney cells.

GDNF has a half-life of only 45 minutes, which can cause issues in its applications in cell culture. However, by using sustained-release products, the concentration needed to maintain cell cultures is reduced from 50 ng/mL of soluble GDNF to 10 ng/mL or less of sustained-release GDNF. This change increases cell survival and differentiation, all while reducing feeding schedules! Take a look at the StemCultures GDNF products on the website (including newly added GDNF DISCs), found at the link in our bio.

Stay tuned for future featured proteins, with EGF appearing next! DM us for any references, questions, or additional information.
