Quick Overview

SH-SY5Y is a human neuroblastoma cell line used in cancer and neurological research.

Detailed Summary

SH-SY5Y is a human neuroblastoma cell line derived from a neuroblastoma tumor. It is widely used in research for studying neuroblastoma and other neurological disorders. The cell line is known for its ability to differentiate into neuronal-like cells, making it a valuable model for investigating cellular processes and potential therapeutic targets. Research on SH-SY5Y has contributed to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying neuroblastoma, including the role of MYCN amplification and other genetic alterations. The cell line has been utilized in various studies involving drug screening, metabolic profiling, and the investigation of cellular responses to different experimental conditions.
