Cell biology guides
The complete guide to studying cell death
Distinguishing between different forms of non-apoptotic cell death can be challenging, especially as many share similar morphological features. However, the distinct regulatory pathways involved with each provide distinct protein markers that can be used for their detection. Find out how to identify necroptosis, pyroptosis and ferroptosis.
Guide to cell health assays
The analysis of cell viability, cytotoxicity, cell cycle state, cell proliferation, and cell death is critical to most cell-based studies. Understand your options, and choose the right assay to fit your experimental needs with this comprehensive guide.
The cell proliferation guide
Cell proliferation can be used to assess normal cell health, to measure responses to toxic insult, or as a prognostic and diagnostic tool in several cancers. The available markers typically look at DNA levels or synthesis, cellular metabolism, or proliferation-specific proteins. This guide highlights the most common methods to mark and score cell proliferation.

Ion channels
Ion channels are integral membrane proteins that selectively allow ions to flow across the cellular membrane. Ion channels play an important role in various cellular and physiological processes, including cell division and migration, secretion, programmed cell death, volume regulation, and electrical signaling.
Join Hannah Bishop for this two-part webinar series to learn everything you need to know about ion channels. In part one, she outlines an introduction to ion channels, and in part two, she discusses major ion channel targets within four disease areas, such as epilepsy, pain, stroke, and cardiac arrhythmias.
