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

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

As part of the innate immune response, Toll-like receptor 9 recognizes unmethylated CpG nucleotide sequences, which are very common in viruses and prokaryotes and more rare in vetebrates. Scientists routinely

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

If you don't buy luxury brand clothes, why are you still buying luxury brand molecular biology kits?

Let me guess... you might use those blue and red boxed Qiagen® kits for DNA and RNA purification,

Many researchers are facing a dilemma: they want to set up a CRISPR genome editing project but they can't decide which cell line to use for genome editing. Even some of the most cost-effective genome editing

Genome editing technology enabled by CRISPR and TALEN has become mainstream. Most cell biology labs are engaged in projects to create custom cell lines with knock-outs and knock-ins, and companies such

Molecular biologists are familiar with the QuikChange® Site-Directed Mutagenesis Kit that allows rapid intoduction of a point mutant into a plasmid/vector/mammalian expression construct. Briefly, the protocol

Many labs have adopted the CRISPR genome editing technology to make knock-out and knock-in cell lines.

This technology produces first a targeted break in genomic DNA, which can then be exploited

CRISPR/Cas9 is relatively simple to

In a recent post on  Venomous toxin ion channel modulators, we looked at toxin derived peptides to manipulate a wide variety of ion channels. These toxins can be used as tools to characterize

A crosstalk between cancer and immune cells is established during cancers. The immune system is able to fight against tumour cells (see my previous post "Immunosurveillance: Crosstalk between cancer and
