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.
Soluble and Insoluble Collagen assays - made easy!
The monitoring of ECM components during experimental approaches requires robust and user-friendly in vitro assays. In the past experimental methods (e.g. soluble collagen measurement) were laborious
Cell-based assays with hPBMCs for cell therapy and drug discovery
Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (hPBMCs) are essential for designing cellular models to be used in cell therapy and drug discovery research programs [1-7, 12]. Being able to access reliable and
Develop robust and convenient cell based assays with Gaussian Luciferase
Cell-based assays have become a classic way to monitor cells' reactions to a treatment or a specific stimulus. They involve a reporter construction and a detection system. The classic system is Firefly

Immunoassays with collagen: Tips to optimize anti-collagen antibody performance
Dr Yong Zhang, Ph.D. is a senior scientist and R&D Manager for antibody generation and assay development at Rockland Immunochemicals, Inc. who are recognised and renowned for their high quality primary
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
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
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
