Pluripotent Stem Cells and iPSC Research: Quality and Innovative Products
Since the discovery of reprogramming factors in 2006 and the boom of CRISPR gene editing strategies, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC) have emerged as new cellular models. The development of 3D cell
Live Cell Imaging - Watch SiR-Tubulin stained Human Osteosarcoma cells in action
As you may already know, Spirochrome have developed a broad range of Live Cell Imaging probes for the staining of DNA, Lysosome, F-Actin and Microtubules.
Based on the use of the Silicon rhodamine-like
HDACs: Active drug targets for Immunotherapy treatment
For many pathologies such as cancer or neurological disorders, it has been found that Histone Deacetylase (HDAC) activity is disrupted, making them promising targets for drug development. Scientists
Luciferase promoter reporter clones
Cell-based assays, screening for pathway activation or inhibition are classically done with promoter reporter clones expressing Firefly luciferase. Brighter, more stable, more sensitive, more convenient
Achieve success with RNA-based CRISPR-CAS9 knock-out
RNA-based CRISPR-CAS9 gene editing is a vector-free approach that is required for therapeutic perspectives. However, from a practical point of view, what appears as a major challenge to engineer primary
How to produce high yield capped mRNA
Messenger RNA can be used for protein expression into the cells. The delivery of mRNA is the delivery of a new function that can activate a biological process. In the particular case of the CAS9 mRNA,
How to obtain reliable DNA and RNA quantitation
The iQuant kits developped by ABP Bioprobes provide accurate quantitation of DNA and RNA with a wide range including high sensitivity. They are useful for NGS applications, qPCR analysis, and in vitro
Lympholyte®: The ideal tool for simple and viable lymphocytes isolation
High quality isolation of lymphocytes is a key step in many in vitro research programs covering immunology, infectious diseases and oncology. To simplify this step, CEDARLANE® have developed an efficient
shRNA set with improved performances
Optimal knock-down can be done by a shRNA sequence that depends on the gene expression level and the cell type. Usually, 4 shRNA should be tested to find the one inducing a minimum of 70% increase of the
ORF expressing Lentiviral system
ORF expression in Mammalian cells is very useful for many applications: protein production with HEK293, over-expression of tagged protein for immuno-tracking or immuno-precipitation, development of a cell
Primary cells: ready-to-use, QC tested media
In a previous post, I introduced a complete panel of ready-to-use specialized media for smooth muscle primary cells culture. Produced by Cell Applications, a GMP certified manufacturer of primary cells
Gene knock-out in hard-to-transfect cells
Gene knock-out, which is gene editing leading to loss of function, just requires delivering into cells the 2 CRISPR system actors: the CAS9 endonuclease and the specific guide RNA to target the gene of
