DATA REPRODUCIBILITY
Incretins and insulin secretagogues represent treatments of reference for type 2 diabetes & Obesity. Human Cell Design offers two assays for testing your therapeutic approaches in function of your product development stage:
- cAMP assay: Cost-effective & scalable
- GSIS (Glucose Stimulated Insulin Secretion) assay: Direct & physiological gold standard
