Genome Editing in Stem Cells: outsource or do-it-yourself?
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
Hepatic Cellular Models
A wide range of in vitro models are used in preclinical drug testing for the investigation of ADME-Tox (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and oxicity) properties of New Chemical Entities
Using CRISPR to knockout an essential gene
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
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
CRISPR genome editing: which cell line to choose?
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 to produce
miRNAs: potent biomarkers in cancer research?
A recent paper by Kojima, M. et al. has found
All GeneCopoeia products and services available from tebu-bio

Oxygen and miRNAs in Cosmetology and Dermatology
A recent review by Nadim et al. casts some light on a Cosmetology and Dermatology, where circulating biomarkers, though studied to a certain extent so far, are yet unknown for many skin models. (1)
Rat liver tritosomes in the endosome-lysosome pathway
Rat liver tritosomes are hepatic lysosomes that have been loaded with Tyloxapol (Triton WR 1339), a non-ionic surfactant. Tyloxapol is taken up by hepatocytes through endocytosis and is trafficked to lysosomal
New findings in the TGF-beta pathway
Three papers on the role of the TGF-beta pathway in different cancers have recently been published.
It was already known that this pathway is involved in processes such as cell growth, cell differentiation,
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.
