Vitamin D Metabolism and Function
Understanding Vitamin D Metabolism & Function Vitamin D is a steroid hormone involved in the intestinal absorption of calcium and the regulation of calcium homeostasis, bone differentiation and immune response. The term "vitamin D" refers to several different forms of this vitamin. ...
Toxicology
Drug-Induced Organ Injury Toxicological side effects are a common obstacle in drug development pipelines and often manifest in site-specific damage to vital organs, including the liver, kidney and heart. Estimates of compound attrition from failure to meet safety endpoints are as high as 45% in pre...
How Should We Define Vitamin D Deficiency?
Date: July 21, 2015 Author: Bethany Bell, PhD; Senior Product Manager at ALPCO Dr. Anders Berg presented at the Northeast Laboratory Conference in October 2014 regarding a much debated topic: vitamin D deficiency and how this should be defined. Dr. Berg referenced over one thousand studies, re...

Stool-Based Biomarkers to Differentiate Between IBD and IBS
What are IBD and IBS? Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are two different gastrointestinal tract issues affecting millions of people every day. Although there is some overlap between symptoms of IBD and IBS, differences still remain in regards to pathologies, risks...
Early Detection of Diabetic Kidney Disease with Biomarkers
Introduction Over one third of diabetics will develop diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in their lifetime1. Despite the large amount of diabetics suffering from DKD, current methods for measuring and tracking kidney function may not be specific enough for diabetic systems2,3. Part III of The Common ...
BTK Inhibitors as Cancer Drug Treatments
Date: July 26, 2016 Author: Andrea Tarbet, Product Marketing Associate at ALPCO Over the past several years, the drug arsenal to combat B cell cancers has gained a mighty weapon: Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors. The origins of using BTK inhibitors as cancer drug treatments actually b...
Customer Spotlight: Measuring Functionality of Islet Microtissues
Date: July 26, 2016 Beta cell generation has gained much traction in recent years among diabetes researchers. Investigators are not only converting adipose tissue and skin cells into beta cells, they are also starting to grow beta cells in a petri dish in vitro. Swiss company InSphero has begun m...
Choosing the Relevant GLP-1 Species to Study
  A better understanding of incretins has led to tremendous therapeutic advances in the field of type 2 diabetes1. These hormones are released from the gut in response to food ingestion and lead to the stimulation of pancreatic β-cells which then release insulin in a glucose-concentration de...
Emerging Biomarker Research in NAFLD and NASH
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming the most common chronic liver disease in the western hemisphere affecting 1 in 3 adults and 1 in 10 children1.  Today, liver biopsies are the only gold standard for precise diagnosis of NAFLD2. Because of this, there are tremendous efforts on the ...
Dorothy Hodgkin’s Discovery of Insulin's 3D Structure
Nobel Prize winning British chemist Dr. Dorothy Hodgkin significantly contributed to unraveling the secrets of diabetes mellitus. She is considered a founder of X-ray crystallography, a technique used to discern the structures of organic biomolecules. Dorothy Hodgkin’s discovery of insulin's 3D...
Researching Therapeutic Drug Monitoring for IBD
Multiple classes of biologics are available for the treatment of inflammation associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which ultimately improves the quality of life for patients.  However, many challenges are associated with using biologics to treat IBD such as immunogenetic reactions and th...
An Accurate Solution to the Challenges with Measuring GLP-1
Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a gut hormone which plays an essential role in insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis1. While GLP-1 has become central to many metabolic disease research programs, various GLP-1 ELISA kits currently available on the market have been failing to meet the needs of ...
The Impact of DPP-4 on Active GLP-1 Preanalytical Variability
Active glucagon-like peptide-1 (active GLP-1) is an incretin hormone known for its pivotal role in the regulation of insulin and glucagon secretion1,2. However, research has demonstrated that the accurate quantification of active GLP-1 is difficult to achieve and has led to the widespread inability ...
The Generation and Function of Active GLP-1
The Generation and Function of Active GLP-1 Active glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is a member of the incretin hormone family and is generated as a result of post translational modifications during proglucagon processing1,2. Active GLP-1 plays a key role in the incretin effect and is vital for main...
