Epilepsy In Vitro Assay

In Vitro assays play a vital role in studying epilepsy by providing a controlled environment to investigate various aspects of the disease. Creative Biolabs, a leading company in the field of neuroscience research, offers a comprehensive range of Epilepsy In Vitro Assays, to facilitate advancements in epilepsy research.

Our Epilepsy Assay Models

At Creative Biolabs, we offer a variety of In Vitro assay models to mimic different aspects of epilepsy pathology. These models allow researchers to explore different cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in the disease progression. Some of our commonly used In Vitro assay models include:

Primary Neuronal Cultures

Primary neuronal cultures provide a physiologically relevant system to investigate epileptic mechanisms. These cultures can be derived from different brain regions, such as the hippocampus or cortex, and are maintained In Vitro to study network activity, excitability, and synaptic plasticity associated with epilepsy.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell (iPSC)-Derived Neurons

iPSC-derived neurons offer a unique opportunity to study epilepsy using patient-specific cells. By reprogramming somatic cells, such as skin fibroblasts, into pluripotent stem cells, researchers can differentiate them into neurons that carry the genetic background of individuals with epilepsy.

Organotypic Brain Slices

Organotypic brain slices provide an ex vivo model that maintains the cellular architecture and functional connectivity of the brain. These slices can be prepared from different brain regions and allow for the investigation of epileptic phenomena, such as interictal activity, seizure initiation, and propagation.

3D Brain Organoids

Brain organoids, derived from pluripotent stem cells, represent a more advanced model for epilepsy research. These 3D structures mimic the complexity of the human brain and allow for the study of cellular interactions, network formation, and the development of epileptic activity.

Our Epilepsy Assays

Our Epilepsy In Vitro assays allow researchers to investigate the cellular and molecular mechanisms of epilepsy, identify potential therapeutic targets, and evaluate the efficacy of new drugs. To gain comprehensive insights into epileptic mechanisms, it is crucial to select appropriate readouts that capture relevant aspects of the disease. Our various readout options for Epilepsy In Vitro Assays, including:

Electrophysiological Recordings

Our assays incorporate state-of-the-art electrophysiological techniques, such as patch-clamp recordings and multi-electrode array (MEA) systems. These methods enable the measurement of neuronal activity, including action potentials, synaptic transmission, and network oscillations.

Calcium Imaging

Calcium imaging is a powerful tool for monitoring changes in intracellular calcium levels, which are closely associated with neuronal excitability and synaptic activity. Our assays utilize advanced calcium imaging techniques to visualize and quantify calcium dynamics in epileptic conditions.

Hippocampal Slice Assay

This assay involves the preparation of thin brain slices, typically from the hippocampus, a brain region commonly associated with epilepsy. The slices are then maintained in an oxygenated artificial cerebrospinal fluid solution, allowing researchers to study the cellular and network activity that leads to epileptic seizures.

Biomarker Analysis

This includes the measurement of neurotransmitters, cytokines, growth factors, and other relevant biomolecules involved in epileptic processes. These analyses provide valuable insights into the molecular pathways underlying epilepsy.
