A focus on the Wnt Pathway
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.
Soluble and Insoluble Collagen assays - made easy!
The monitoring of ECM components during experimental approaches requires robust and user-friendly in vitro assays. In the past experimental methods (e.g. soluble collagen measurement) were laborious
Develop robust and convenient cell based assays with Gaussian Luciferase
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

Immunoassays with collagen: Tips to optimize anti-collagen antibody performance
Dr Yong Zhang, Ph.D. is a senior scientist and R&D Manager for antibody generation and assay development at Rockland Immunochemicals, Inc. who are recognised and renowned for their high quality primary
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
shRNA set with improved performances
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 expressing Lentiviral system
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 in hard-to-transfect cells
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
New Primary cell Models: a focus on Kidney cells
tebu-bio is pleased to announce their new partnership for a European distribution of Novabiosis, a US based manufacturer providing cryopreserved primary human cells for the biotechnology, pharmaceutical
COVID-19: relevant cell culture models
One of the challenges in respiratory research in general, and for COVID-19 related projects in particular, is to have access to relevant in vitro cell culture models. Human lung epithelium models are currently
