Research tools aimed at exploring mitochondria are becoming more and more popular and cover multiple experimental applications. They go from primary antibodies validated for immuno-assays (see 

Expression systems - removing their contaminants

CHO, E. Coli and Pichia are useful expression systems for drug production. This can be for proteins, enzymes or antibody productions. Research and development

Due to its involvement in many cellular processes such as normal ageing, tumor suppression, chronic diseases and many more, cellular senescence has gained increasing attention since its first description

Nipah Virus Infection (NiV) is an emerging infectious disease of public health importance in the South-East Asia Region (source: World Health Organization). Along with Hendra virus (HeV), NiV is part

Involved in many physiological processes (apoptosis, aging, cell signalling..) and numerous diseases (cardiovascular disorders, to cancer and neuro-degenerative diseases…), Mitochondria have become more

Establishing meaningful SYBR Green-based qPCR assays

SYBR Green qPCR with Standard Curve Protocol

Note from the Author:
This protocol is based on experiences using the StepOnePlus™ Real-Time PCR System

All human and living beings have mitochondria. These are tiny cellular organisms present in nearly every cell of an individual. They are located more precisely inside the cells, in their nucleus. The main

Understanding cellular senescence and oxygen consumption rate

A recent paper published in Science reported a 50% reduction in mortality and improved immune response in old mice infected with SARS-CoV-2

Relationship between antitumor effects and active oxygen
