eBook: Stem Cell Analysis

Advances in Western Blotting Technologies

Stem cell and regenerative medicine offer new therapeutic hope for a range of diseases
with limited treatment options—from cancer to neurodegenerative diseases to an array of developmental disorders. This potential is supported by a wealth of basic science research into the biology of stem cells and the signaling pathways that either uphold their pluripotent state or drive cell-type-specific differentiation.

Protein analysis plays an important role in stem cell research, and for most researchers, Western blotting is a key component of their toolbox. From verifying pluripotency and identifying lineage-specific cell types to identifying key modulators of cell signaling pathways, to evaluating disease models and therapeutic approaches, the right protein analysis techniques can help you achieve success. In this eBook, we examine technological advances in Western blotting and protein analysis that are at the forefront of stem cell research. Learn how automated Western systems and Single-Cell Westerns can advance your stem cell research.

Topics Covered:
• Protein analysis techniques for stem cell research
• Stem cell culture and differentiation: cell type identification
• Stem cells and analysis of signaling pathway manipulations
• Protein analysis in disease models and therapeutic strategies
