The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) affects the development of drugs for all pathologies (brain exposure to drugs, side effects...). In the early phases of drug development, there is a strong need for stable

Three papers on the role of the TGF-beta pathway in different cancers have recently been published.

It was already known that this pathway is involved in processes such as cell growth, cell differentiation,

The Wnt cell signalling pathway is a high-potential therapeutical target in cancer research. It's deeply linked to cellular fate through modulating cell proliferation, mobility, interaction, and polarity.

Multicolour fluorochrome reagents have spurred researchers' capacity to analyze cell populations and to isolate cell subsets by flow cytometry. In this post, let's take at look at the advantages of

Protein Gene Product 9.5 (PGP 9.5) is an abundant cytoplasmic neuron and neuroendocrine-cell specific protein. Over the years, this deubiquitinating enzyme (a.k.a. Ubiquitin Carboxy-terminal Hydrolase

Cell-based assays have become a classic way to monitor cells' reactions to a treatment or a specific stimulus. They involve a reporter construction and a detection system. The classic system is Firefly

Cell-based assays, screening for pathway activation or inhibition are classically done with promoter reporter clones expressing Firefly luciferase. Brighter, more stable, more sensitive, more convenient

High quality isolation of lymphocytes is a key step in many in vitro research programs covering immunology, infectious diseases and oncology. To simplify this step, CEDARLANE® have developed an efficient

Optimal knock-down can be done by a shRNA sequence that depends on the gene expression level and the cell type. Usually, 4 shRNA should be tested to find the one inducing a minimum of 70% increase of the

ORF expression in Mammalian cells is very useful for many applications: protein production with HEK293, over-expression of tagged protein for immuno-tracking or immuno-precipitation, development of a cell

Gene knock-out, which is gene editing leading to loss of function, just requires delivering into cells the 2 CRISPR system actors: the CAS9 endonuclease and the specific guide RNA to target the gene of

Cell viability after cryopreservation is a sensitive subject as it may be dependent on the ability of mammalian cells to face the stress generated by the freeze / thaw cycles. Improving cell viability
