General description

Fatty Acid-Albumin - complexes have been employed as alternative sources of lipids in the development of serum-free media. Fatty acids bind to serum proteins in high proportions. Such proteins may release beneficial fatty acids and bind those that are inhibitory. Linoleic acid, a precursor of prostaglandins bound to BSA is beneficial to the growth of a variety of cell types (e.g., BHK, hybridoma). It also improves its stability and solubility in culture media.

Application

Linoleic Acid-Albumin from bovine serum albumin is used in the cell line culture and cell differentiation medium.

Chronic liver diseases are associated with excessive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins. This so-called fibrosis can progress to cirrhosis and impair vital functions of the liver. We examined whether the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) class III inhibitor Crenolanib affects the

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a promising melanocyte source as they propagate indefinitely and can be established from patients. However, the in vivo functions of human iPSC-derived melanocytes (hiMels) remain unknown. Here, we generated hiMels from vitiligo patients using a three-dimensional
