Simple and effective CRISPR CAS9 gene editing for primary cells
Vector-free CRISPR-CAS9 gene editing to accelerate therapeutic applications
A few years ago, Ayal Hendel et al (doi:10.1038/nbt.3290) published results revealing that chemical alterations to sgRNA enhance
How to easily visualize and quantify cellular senescence
Due to its involvement in many cellular processes such as normal ageing, tumor suppression, chronic diseases and many more, cellular senescence has gained increasing attention since its first description
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
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
Optogenetic tools: easily control cAMP production in cells with Light
Non-invasive manipulations of intracellular processes have recently appeared as an emerging research field. Experts in the development of biosensors for live cell discovery, Montana Molecular provide an
New - you know CRISPR, now it's Prime Editing
This month, a new leap forward in gene editing has been published in Nature under the title 'Search-and-replace genome editing without double-strand breaks or donor DNA'. DOI: 10.1038/s41586-019-1711-4.
New SARS-CoV/ACE2 inhibitor assays & small molecules for drug discovery
Many initiatives led by worldwide scientific networks are currently being launched to decipher cellular mechanisms involved in SARS-CoV-2 cellular entry. For example, a recent study has identified 332
