Gateway® cloning technology: Is it as easy as they say?
Molecular biology experts have been telling us for a while that the Gateway® cloning vectors are easy-to-use, saving them significant time and effort.
Basically, the technology allows you to start with
Glycosylation studies in the inflammasome
In a previous post on tumour microenvironment (TME) and glycosylation, we indicated that new tools for studies on glycosylation of proteins were being developed. We are happy to announce that they are
3 Reasons to use fresh TLR9 agonists
As part of the innate immune response, Toll-like receptor 9 recognizes unmethylated CpG nucleotide sequences, which are very common in viruses and prokaryotes and more rare in vetebrates. Scientists
Physioxia or Hypoxia: what it's all about
Cell culture under oxygen controlled conditions: an improvement towards more predictive results
Oxygen concentration in tissues is a key factor for cell and organ survival. In normal conditions, partial
Direct access to Biomarker Profiling identification tools
Profiling tools have an increasing interest for identifying new biomarkers. Different tools are available, from classical gene profiling on DNA chips, RT-qPCR arrays, Protein arrays for secretome or
What's new in qPCR?
We know molecular biologists spent a lot of time setting up their qPCR protocols and aren't about to change the way they do things. We also know they are technically savvy and like keeping up
Alternatives to the "mega-brands" of molecular biology
If you don't buy luxury brand clothes, why are you still buying luxury brand molecular biology kits?
Let me guess... you might use those blue and red boxed Qiagen® kits for DNA and RNA purification,
Genome Editing in Stem Cells: outsource or do-it-yourself?
Many researchers are facing a dilemma: they want to set up a CRISPR genome editing project but they can't decide which cell line to use for genome editing. Even some of the most cost-effective genome editing
Discovery of functional serum biomarkers
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies, and the leading cause of cancer-related fatality. Current diagnostic practices for common cancers rely heavily on imaging technologies. These
mTOR revisited
The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway is an intracellular signaling pathway important in regulating the cell cycle. It is directly related to cellular quiescence, proliferation, cancer, and
IL-1 family quantified simultaneously...at last!
The IL-1 family has long been known as a key player in the effector role of macrophages in innate defence against tumours and infections. It plays an important role in the field of natural / innate immunity
