nCounter® Glial Profiling Panel

Helping Your Research

Comprehensively study the role of astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes in health and disease with the nCounter Glial Profiling Panel. Decipher the complex interplay between glial cells, peripheral immune cells, and neurons that underlies neurodegenerative & neuroinflammatory disorders and neurotrauma such as stroke, spinal cord injury, and traumatic brain injury.

How It Works

The Glial Profiling panel covers comprehensive glial cell biology involved in both homeostasis and disease and can be run on its own or paired with the Neuropathology or Neuroinflammation panels.

01:

Profile 770 human or mouse genes across 50+ pathways involved in glial cell biology:

Cell stress & Damage Response
Pathways Regulating Glia
Inflammation & Peripheral Immune Invasion
Glial Cell Homeostasis & Activation
Neurotransmission

02:

Quantify the relative abundance of 5 CNS cell types and 14 peripheral immune cells

03:

Customizable with Panel Plus option – add up to 55 genes of your choice

Differential protein expression in the hippocampi of resilient individuals identified by digital spatial profiling.

Clinical symptoms correlate with underlying neurodegenerative changes in the vast majority of people. However, an intriguing group of individuals demonstrate neuropathologic changes consistent with Alzheimer disease (AD) yet remain cognitively normal (termed “resilient”).

Spatial molecular profiling of a central nervous system low-grade diffusely infiltrative tumour with INI1 deficiency (CNS LGDIT-INI1) featuring a high-grade AT/RT component.

Key points: – diffusely infiltrative low-grade tumour with SMARCB1/INI1-deficiency (CNS LGDIT-INI1) has been proposed as a new entity – we report the first case of a child with a CNS LGDIT-INI1 with a high-grade AT/RT component at the time of initial surgery – methylation profiles of both the low- and the high-grade component yielded high similarity with ATRT-MYC – spatial transcriptome analyses showed upregulation of glioneuronal markers in the low grade component underlining the concept of diffuse infiltrative behaviour of CNS LGDIT-INI1 – high-grade tumour areas displayed increased translational activity and proliferation as well as MYC pathway activation.

Co-activation of Sonic hedgehog and Wnt signaling in murine retinal precursor cells drives ocular lesions with features of intraocular medulloepithelioma.

Intraocular medulloepithelioma (IO-MEPL) is a rare embryonal ocular neoplasm, prevalently occurring in children. IO-MEPLs share histomorphological features with CNS embryonal tumors with multilayered rosettes (ETMRs), referred to as intracranial medulloepitheliomas.
