Recent advances in Stem Cell culture: Encapsulated Stembeads growth factors
During my daily discussions with researchers involved in in vitro iPS and Embryonic Stem cell cultures, I am always amazed by the passion that drives them. However, the more I go in depth with them in
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
microRNAs: Portraying a cell - miRNA profiling
Well, in the previous posts leading up to this final one in the series, we looked at microRNA detection, overexpression, inhibition, and target detection. I'd like to finish by going over miRNA profiling.
Cell counting made easy!
After you've read this post, I hope that you'll agree that what the title of the post announces is the right assumption. How? Read on!
I invite you to take a look at Cyto-X, which is a ready-for-use
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
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
Cas9 mRNA optimized for genome editing
CRISPR/Cas9 is relatively simple to implement, as the researcher fully controls the experimental design of the tools, from the sgRNA sequence to the Cas9 protein.
Pharma/biotech industry outsourcing trends in Biomarker studies
A recent article by E. Langer (E. Langer, “Another In-House Operation Gets Outsourced” (2015) Pharmaceutical Technology 39 (6)) describes the growing
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.
Angiogenin favours liver cancer (HCC) growth & expansion
A publication earlier this year by Bárcena et al. shows that angiogenin plays a crucial role in the onset and development of liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma or HCC).
Angiogenin was the first
