CELLS - How to Study Endothelial Cells of The Cardiovascular System In Vitro
Endothelial cells (ECs) are specialized cells that line the inner surface of blood vessels, forming a continuous single-cell layer. They are, therefore, part of the blood vessel wall and play a crucial role in controlling the exchange of substances between the bloodstream and surrounding tissues [1]. ECs are further sub-specialized based on their location in the circulatory system, such as arteries, veins, capillaries, and lymphatics. In this blog article, we explore the functions of ECs, focusing on ECs of the cardiovascular system. Specifically, we will examine how to study ECs in vitro in angiogenesis, barrier formation, under flow, and inflammation.

DLC coating multiplies useable life of surgical instruments
When applied to surgical instruments, Diamond-Like Carbon coating dramatically increases the life of the instrument. Because DLC-coated surgical instruments are incredibly durable and resistant to wear from chemicals, moisture and atmospheric conditions, they have a much greater useful lifespan.

Electrophysiology: Cardiac Electrophysiology – Mapping Systems
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for 17.3 million deaths per year. This number is expected to grow to more than 23.6 million by 2030 (1). Cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death are the cause of more than 60% of those CVD deaths (2). Well, what could be the possible solution to this global issue mentioned above?

Health Monitoring in IVC racks - SENTINEL
Certain infectious agents are not readily detected by sentinel animals exposed to soiled bedding. Therefore, this method can potentially be a poor indicator of the actual infection status of an animal rack. Through research performed at Charles River and collaborations with Allentown, Inc., Charles River qualified the PCR testing of Exhaust Air Dust (EAD™) samples collected from the Allentown Sentinel™ unit.
