microRNAs: Push and observe - miRNA overexpression
In this third post of the miRNA-related series, let's take a look at miRNA overexpression.
miRNA mimics
Short RNAs are very prone to enzymatic degradation. Novel chemical technologies now
microRNAs: Inhibiting the inhibitors - Antagomirs
Following on in our series on microRNAs (miRNA - Keys to open cell biology’s secret chamber)
microRNAs: Target detection
Leading on from my previous posts (see below) exploring microRNA detection, overexpression and inhibition, this time, let's spend a moment on target detection.
miTarget databases
Focus on the Hypoxia Regulation Mechanism
The cellular and physiological effects resulting from hypoxia-dependent networks have been clearly shown to impact a number of human pathological states, including ischemic disease, diabetes, pulmonary
New tools to fight against Pneumococcus
Pneumococcus, or scientifically speaking, Streptococcus pneumoniae, is a pathogen responsible for a number of illnesses, including pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, meningitis and bacteremia.
Gateway® cloning technology: Is it as easy as they say?
Molecular biology experts have been telling us for a while that the Gateway® cloning vectors are easy-to-use, saving them significant time and effort.
Basically, the technology allows you to start
3 Reasons to use fresh TLR9 agonists
As part of the innate immune response, Toll-like receptor 9 recognizes unmethylated CpG nucleotide sequences, which are very common in viruses and prokaryotes and more rare in vetebrates. Scientists routinely
Novel biomarkers in gastric cancer
The word "cancer" groups a series of diseases of different origin and different prognosis, with differentiated molecular mechanisms causing their onset and progression. Hence, discovery of novel biomarkers
What's new in qPCR?
We know molecular biologists spent a lot of time setting up their qPCR protocols and aren't about to change the way they do things. We also know they are technically savvy and like keeping up with the
Tumour microenvironment - ameloblastomas
Following our post on tumour microenvironment and glioblastoma, we will focus today on ameloblastomas.
Ameloblastomas are benign tumours that occur in the jawbone, and invade bone.
Alternatives to the "mega-brands" of molecular biology
If you don't buy luxury brand clothes, why are you still buying luxury brand molecular biology kits?
Let me guess... you might use those blue and red boxed Qiagen® kits for DNA and RNA purification,
