Disease Model Inducers

In addition to exploring signaling pathways, small molecules are also used as a means to an end: to create a cell or animal model system for further research or drug screening. Focus Biomolecules offers small molecule tools to induce model systems such as: Streptozotocin (diabetes, Alzheimer’s); Kainic acid (neurodegeneration); Bleomycin sulfate (pulmonary fibrosis); and many others to create cancer or stem cell models.
