Actin-Binding Proteins (ABPs) review
Actin filaments are essential for cytoskeleton functions (cell morphology, endocytosis and trafficking, contractility, motility...). In eukaryotic cells, polymerization and depolymerization of actin
2 means to boost RNA-sequencing
RNA-sequencing (RNA-Seq) bottlenecks start with library preparation! Is it possible to prepare a RNA-Seq library in a simple and fast way? And how to avoid the bottlenecks of current RNA-sequencing
Functional Proteomics for biomarker characterisation
HSCI's researchers switch skin cells into pain-sensing neurons
In a recent publication, Dr Clifford J. Woolf's
AAV - advantages for Gene delivery in vivo
Adenoassociated viruses (AAV) are small (20-30 nm), ssDNA, non-enveloped and replication-defective viruses that infect human and other primate species, but which, up to now, have not been reported as being
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
Exosomes as a trigger for signaling
Extracellular vesicles in general, or exosomes in particular, are becoming a hot topic for research, especially in cancer. They seem to have different roles in tumour progression or can be used as
Adenovirus: weapons of mass transduction for gene delivery
Adenovirus (AV) are non-enveloped and non-integrative icosaedral viruses. Recombinant AV (genetically modified with respect to the wild-type in order to lose their capacity of replication) are widely used
Focus on apolipoproteins
Apolipoproteins, with amphipathic properties, form lipoprotein particles with phospholipids and transport hydrophobic lipids through lymphatic and blood circulations
High resolution structure of the TRPA1 channel protein
One of the hottest news last month was the high resolution structure of the TRPA1 ion channel protein.
