Proliferating cancer cells expressing the Fucci cell cycle sensor. Red is G1 of the cell cycle and green is S through M. The movie shows 2 days of imaging with our #Incucyte S3 from @EssenBioScience. #CellBiology
Looking for a CRO with experience in #iPSC derived cell models for pre-clinical research? Censo Bio provides customised #assays and compound screening services in #neuroinflammation & #neurodegeneration to support clients #drugdiscovery programmes.
We will be presenting our poster (178) at the @FENS virtual conference tomorrow at 10.30am. Come speak to us and learn more about what we do! #iPSC#microglia#neuroinflammation
One day until the #FENS2020 virtual conference! Censo will be presenting a poster on #iPSC derived #macrophages/#microglia for disease modelling on the 12th and 14th of July (poster 178). Looking forward to some great science! #FENS2020poster https://t.co/CZZDw4Tjhz
Censo are pleased to have been able to sponsor the prize for top student in Development, regeneration & stem cells. Congratulations to all the 2020 graduates! #EdinburghUni https://t.co/5GjJJh8mPi
Some of our #iPSC derived #sensory neurons. These provide a great platform for modeling #pain, #Friedreichs ataxia and more. Also one of our favourites to image!
Milner symposium 2020 is taking place today. We are excited to attend this virtual conference and present a poster (author Jessica Tilman) #MilnerSymp20
BIO One-on-One #Partnering starts today. Meet Censo Biotechnologies and learn more about what we do and what we can offer by setting up a partnering meeting. https://t.co/JLsg8mvRbC #BIODigital
Censo Biotechnologies are attending the ISCT 2020 virtual partnering forum (May 28 - June 4). Set up a partnering meeting today and learn more about what we do and what we can offer. https://t.co/1mWN82LN5S
#iPSC derived cells generate relevant disease models and provide a platform for #screening. This review shows the benefits of iPSC derived cells and future directions. Censo have experience with #neurons, #astrocytes and #microglia. Contact us for more. https://t.co/iqtFP0jCQq
A little bit more "phagocytosis" in action

#Macrophages and #monocytes play an important role in fighting any #infection, but can also cause damage when the inflammatory response becomes exaggerated. How could we modulate activation to limit damage while still maintaining key functions?

Very few drugs have been approved in #neuroscience in the past 10 years, highlighting the need for new #diseasemodels. #IPSC derived cells offer a reproducible and relevant model which can be scaled for #compound screening.
Only 3% of neurological drugs that went into phase I between 2010-2017 were eventually approved. The vast majority are drugs that are very similar to older symptomatic drugs, and almost none of them (maybe 1 drug) is actually treating the disease. https://t.co/wpjU4ItQkU
Amazing to see how much information and data has been generated around #COVID19. This information is so important to understand the disease and how to best prevent, treat and find a vaccine. #Science#research#medicine#pharma
The Censo team have been working on a new #celltherapy to counter any novel #coronavirus. This would not be specific to any one strain of #virus and could be stockpiled in advance. It's early stage but initial indications are that it could be effective within 12-24h #antivirals
