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
Tumour microenvironment - ameloblastomas
Following our post on tumour microenvironment and glioblastoma, we will focus today on ameloblastomas.
Ameloblastomas are benign tumours that occur in the jawbone, and invade bone.
Alternatives to the "mega-brands" of molecular biology
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,
Biomarkers of micronutrient malnutrition
Unfortunately, and still in the XXIst century, micronutrient (MN) malnutrition is a problem in all countries, in all segments of society. While part of the world starves, another part is obese. And a balanced
New biomarkers in periodontal disease
Periodontitis, also generally called gum disease or periodontal disease, begins with bacterial growth in the mouth and may end, if not properly treated, with tooth loss due to destruction of the tissue
Kit-Free Site Directed Mutagenesis Protocol
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

Depending on the phase where your biomarker-related research program is,
8 criteria for selecting your ELISA kits
Biomarkers specialists are often asked to select an ELISA kit for researchers: with thousands of ELISA references available on the market, the choice can be tricky regarding proteins for which several
Cytokine signature in airway inflammation with arrays
Chronic Mucosal Inflammation is the hallmark of common airway diseases (ex. Allergic Rhinitis and asthma). Lipoxin B4(LXB4) is an endogenous mucosal protective mediator decreasing
Pharma/biotech industry outsourcing trends in Biomarker studies

STAT3 signaling effects on IL-15 derived dendritic cells
The role of STAT3 signaling in the activity of dendritic cells (DC) has been recently revealed in a publication by Okada et al.
Evolutions in Molecular Cloning to save time and make life easy
As with this painted representation of (surrealist!) DNA, to a certain extent, molecular cloning is an art.
Unfortunately for newcomers, or fortunately for experts, it's required for many downstream
