How to easily screen adenosine A2AR agonists and antagonists
Recently, BPS Bioscience have released a new Adenosine A2A Receptor (A2AR / ADORA2A) Functional Recombinant Cell Line for screening A2AR agonists and antagonists. An excellent means to efficiently evaluate
4 Tips to boost mRNA in vitro transcription and optimize mRNA delivery
Over the last years, mRNA-based experimental approaches have been successfully used in a broad range of research applications (genome editing, gene replacement, vaccine, immunotherapy, cellular reprogramming...)
How to make Post Translational Modification characterization easier
Signal-Seeker assays (Cytoskeleton Inc.) provide researchers with the most comprehensive reagents enabling highly sensitive and specific detection of the key Post Translational Modifications (PTMs)
Pluripotent Stem Cells and iPSC Research: Quality and Innovative Products
Since the discovery of reprogramming factors in 2006 and the boom of CRISPR gene editing strategies, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) have emerged as new cellular models. The development of 3D cell
10 Human Immune Checkpoint biomarkers quantified simultaneously
Immune checkpoint molecules play an important role in T cell functionality after TCR/MHC signalling. Blockade of two B7/CD28 family checkpoint molecules, CTLA-4 and PD-1, have already demonstrated excellent
HDACs: Active drug targets for Immunotherapy treatment
For many pathologies such as cancer or neurological disorders, it has been found that Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) activity is disrupted, making them promising targets for drug development. Scientists
Cancer immunotherapy: explore the cytokine "milieu" with Quantibody 200 Biomarker Service
Autologous tumour cell vaccines vs. dendritic cell vaccines: What's best, and why?
Understanding the best approach for tumour vaccinations is of growing importance in the personalized cancer immunotherapy
3D cell culture validation - impact of physioxic conditions on TIMP-1 expression
When compared to 2D conventional cell culture systems, experimental data obtained with 3D cell culture models have been shown in many instances to be more biologically relevant, closer to clinical conditions
CAR T-Cell therapy: new hope for Immunotherapy and Cancer treatment
Personalized treatment for cancer reached a new milestone with the FDA approval of CAR T-cells for treatment of leukemia and lymphoma. There is now rapid growth in research on the therapeutic uses of
Luciferase promoter reporter clones
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
Achieve success with RNA-based CRISPR-CAS9 knock-out
RNA-based CRISPR-CAS9 gene editing is a vector-free approach that is required for therapeutic perspectives. However, from a practical point of view, what appears as a major challenge to engineer primary
How to produce high yield capped mRNA
Messenger RNA can be used for protein expression into the cells. The delivery of mRNA is the delivery of a new function that can activate a biological process. In the particular case of the CAS9 mRNA,
