A recent publication in Cells, Ishikura, T. et al. (2023) demonstrated that nasal administration of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) significantly enhances olfactory epithelium regeneration in vivo. The study suggests that ADSCs promote olfactory recovery by secreting nerve growth factor (NGF) and other neurotrophic factors, which are vital for cellular regeneration (as shown in Table 4). Biosensis NGF Rapid™ ELISA Kit (BEK-2213) was highlighted as a critical tool for accurately quantifying NGF levels. With its rapid detection capabilities and high specificity, the kit plays a key role in assessing NGF's influence on regenerative processes.

Key Features of the Biosensis NGF Rapid™ ELISA Kit (BEK-2213) highlighted in the study:

• Fast and Reliable: Obtain accurate NGF measurements in under 3 hours from cell culture supernatants and brain extracts.
• Comprehensive Components: Includes a pre-coated mouse monoclonal anti-NGF capture antibody, biotinylated anti-NGF detection antibody, and HRP-conjugated streptavidin, along with a substrate (TMB) for direct colorimetric readout proportional to NGF concentration.
• Positive Control: A mouse NGF positive control is provided to ensure consistency and accuracy in assay performance.
• Accurate and Sensitive: Designed to preferentially detect mature NGF, with minimal cross-reactivity with proNGF (<0.1%).
