One of the products that you’ve repeatedly asked us to carry atGoldBio is a Protein G Agarose resin foraffinity purification. So we’re excited to tell you that we now have a reliableand cost-effective Protein G Agarose resin ( Catalog # P-430)available for your...

To coincide with the introduction of our new Protein G antibody purification resin, we thought that we’d do a quick introduction to go over the steps and considerations you may need for antibody purification. Purified antibodies can be a powerful research tool, but...

Chances are that if your research involves affinitychromatography, then you’re probably already using or have previously usedCyanogen Bromide-activated (CNBr-activated) agarose beads to bind or purifyyour proteins, antibodies or enzymes. That’s the industry standard...

Dear Readers,Over the past month there has been quite a lot going on here at GoldBio. We added a couple new products like Protein G Agarose, the Sapphire Coomassie Kit, Agarose LE tablets and a few others. We launched our new Video Library. Now I am I am thrilled to...

In the weeks to come, we want to spend some time discussing someof our more popular and interesting growth factors and growth factor families.We begin with the Fibroblast Growth Factor family!Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) form one of the largestfamilies of growth...

For this Growth Factor Focus week, we want to take a closer look at the FGF8 subfamily of Fibroblast Growth Factors. This subfamily comprises of FGF-8, FGF-17, and FGF-18. At GoldBio, we have murine FGF-8 as well as rat FGF-18 available for your research.The FGF8...

With the launch of our growth factor product line, we thought it would be interesting to look back at the history of growth factors. Today we know that growth factors are a powerful tool that researchers can use to study the development of embryonic or induced...

For this Growth Factor Focus week, we want to take a closer look at the FGF7 subfamily of Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs). At Gold Bio, we have human, mouse and rat FGF10 as well as both human and mouse FGF7 available for research purposes. FGFs form one of the...

At GoldBio, we just love it when we can find two products whichcan be used in conjunction. It’s even better when we have both of thoseproducts available for your research! As we continue delve deeper into thepotential applications of our new line of Growth Factors, we...

The interleukin family of cytokines is one of the largest and most studied of all the growth factors. Their roles in disease, the immune system, and immune deficiency have made them superstars of cancer research and AIDS/HIV research, not to mention as possible,...

With our new lineup of growth factors, we want to make sure that the products we are selling are the best possible combination of price and performance. One of our main challenges then is to make sure that each growth factor we have is able to function correctly in a...

In the ever-evolving world of growth factors, the Cytokine class can potentially encompass nearly every single growth factor we know. Cytokines are typically small, cell-signaling proteins that are used extensively in intercellular communication. It is a family of...

Now that spring has finally sprung here in the Midwest, we’re able to take a look back at the first quarter of 2013 to see how we are doing. Over the first three months of this year, we shipped out more packages than ever before: more boxes, to more researchers, all...

In all of our recent talk about growth factors, let us not forget that, in nature, growth factors are only ever half of the equation. Receptors are proteins which are often found in the plasma membrane of a cell that receive chemical signals (molecular binding) from...

Today is a great day to do something good for the environment, but we believe that it’s also important to consider how everyday business practices impact the world in which we live. I want to take this Earth Day to point out some of the sustainability initiatives we...

The FGF1 subfamily of Fibroblast Growth Factors was the first of the FGFs to be isolated and identified around 1975 by Gospodarowicz and company. This subfamily is often called the “prototypical” FGF, comprised of 3 coding exons and exon 1 comprising the initiation...

The Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMPs) were first discovered and named by Marshall Urist in 1965 as a mix of proteins that appeared to be responsible for bone regeneration. In the decades since, these cytokines have become one of the most important families of growth...

In a remarkable paper published in the May 9th edition of Cell, two researchers at the Harvard Stem Cell Institute, Richard R. Lee M.D. and Amy Wagers PhD., determined that you can reverse cardiac hypertrophy in older mice by treating them with injections of Growth...

Ever since the beginning of our awareness of growth factors in the early 1960’s by Stanley Cohen and Rita Levi-Montalcini, EGF (Epidermal Growth Factor) has been in the forefront of medical science. EGF, along with the EGF Receptors (EGFR), has been implicated in a...

It is a still a commonly held belief that nerve damage can never be healed or repaired sufficiently to regain use. But in recent years that dogmatic view has been successfully challenged and refuted by our ever-growing understanding of growth factors, specifically the...

May is quickly coming to a close and the stresses of finals, presentations and papers are finally a thing of the past as summer graciously presents sunshine and lazy days. However, if you are like me and your senior year is fast approaching, as are the deadlines to...

It's time to make your lab more social media friendly and get on twitter. If you're trying to figure out how to set up a twitter account for your laboratory, then this is the guide for you! It's not breaking news that social media keeps taking a larger role in our...
