Benzyl-activated Streptavidin Magnetic Beads
2026-08-28
Benzyl-activated Streptavidin Magnetic Beads (SKU: K1301) support magnetic capture of biotinylated proteins, peptides, antibodies, sugars, oligonucleotides, and nucleic acids from complex samples. They are suited to purification, immunoprecipitation, interaction assays, and screening workflows, but require caution for covalent-capture designs, live-cell applications, and downstream assays sensitive to BSA or sodium azide.

Engineered Klotho mRNA Reverses iMSC Senescence
2026-08-26
This study developed an ARCA-capped, pseudouridine-modified, polyadenylated Klotho transcript delivered by hyperbranched poly(β-amino ester)s to restore cellular function in aged and Klotho-deficient induced mesenchymal stem cells. The treatment rapidly recovered Klotho expression and improved senescence-associated, mitochondrial, oxidative, and calcium-homeostasis phenotypes, while producing little effect in young cells.
