Measuring partial and biased agonism at GPCRs on the FDSS/μCell
Kinetic analysis to measure agonist bias Montana Molecular’s genetically-encoded, fluorescent biosensors detect multiple receptor-mediated signaling pathways in real-time, live-cell assays. The kinetics of the responses for each signaling pathway can be used to...
The Neuroscience of Nausea
Nausea is a sense of malaise that all of us know. The sensation can be so overpowering that it leads us to wonder how and why this wretched condition happens
SARS-CoV-2 Variant Pseudoviruses
At Montana Molecular, we are committed to developing validated tools and services to support COVID-19 drug discovery. 2nd generation pseudoviruses for SARS-CoV-2 variants are on the way. Emerging SARS CoV-2 VariantsIn the spring of 2020, Manaus Brazil, was...
