microRNAs: Target detection
Leading on from my previous posts (see below) exploring microRNA detection, overexpression and inhibition, this time, let's spend a moment on target detection.

microRNAs: Portraying a cell - miRNA profiling
Well, in the previous posts leading up to this final one in the series, we looked at microRNA detection, overexpression, inhibition, and target detection. I'd like to finish by going over miRNA profiling.
How to probe motor-domains of kinesins?
In the past, molecular motor proteins like kinesins have been investigated with macromolecular approaches. Recent research on kinesins has been focused on resolving how kinesin is regulated by intramolecular
Activation of RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42 - New G-LISA Trial kits
Small GTP-binding proteins such as RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42 are involved in regulating cell signalling pathways and impact a wide range of cellular processes, functions, and morphology. They bind and hydrolyze
Tumor growth and metastasis monitored in vivo
In vivo monitoring of tumor growth and metastasis provides a powerful means for studying cancer properties and development of effective therapies. Mouse models created with tumor xenografts, resulting
miRNA mediates gene expression through HDL particles
A recent study published in Nature Communications is the first to report how a mature microRNA (miR-223) actively controls the gene expression of a cell in which it was not originally transcribed. High
Tumour microenvironment and miRNA biomarkers
In previous posts, we have seen the role of inflammation and glycosylation
Gateway® cloning technology: Is it as easy as they say?
Molecular biology experts have been telling us for a while that the Gateway® cloning vectors are easy-to-use, saving them significant time and effort.
Basically, the technology allows you to start
Actin staining techniques in fixed and living cells
Actin can be stained in living and fixed cells to determine and follow the structure and function of the cytoskeleton. The actin cytoskeleton is a very dynamic and labile structure in the living cell,
What's new in qPCR?
We know molecular biologists spent a lot of time setting up their qPCR protocols and aren't about to change the way they do things. We also know they are technically savvy and like keeping up with the
Next generation of lentiviral particles
Lentiviruses are robust tools for cell line engineering and development. As opposed to models that only infect dividing cells, lentiviral vectors are ideal for long term gene delivery into dividing and
