We have been closely following the interesting case of the discontinuation of tobacco acid pyrophosphatase (TAP) and the efforts of the world's RNA biologists to find a suitable alternative. Our previous

Microtubules are key components of the cytoskeletal structure of eukaryotic cells. Composed of alpha- and beta- tubulin sub-units, microtubules are dynamic entities

Statins are HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, well-known  medications for treating Hypercholesterolemia. Simvastatin is a member of this "Statin family" and controls

For about 5 years now, there has been a renewed interest for mRNA molecules and their numerous applications. Mature mRNAs can be transfected into cells (ex. in mammalian cells) for various purposes

RIPA buffer is one of the most useful protein extraction buffers and maintains most native structures of proteins. Nevertheless, RIPA buffer is not convenient enough to extract membrane proteins and membrane-associated

This protocol is based on experiences using the StepOnePlus™ Real-Time PCR System

Our body is made up of trillions of cells grouped together to form tissues and organs. The genes present in the nucleus of every cell tell it when to grow, work, divide and die.

Normally, our cells follow

In medicine, biotech and pharmacology, drug discovery is the entire process to discover new candidate medications.

The process is long and complex, the budget needed is expansive and the skills required
