Proteins: are essential nutrients for the human body. They are one of the building blocks of body tissue and can also serve as a fuel source. As a fuel, proteins provide as much energy density as carbohydrates: 4 kcal per gram; in contrast, lipids provide 9 kcal per gram.
Cancer is a multifactorial disease, and its genesis and progression are extremely complex. The scope of precision oncology is rapidly expanding to address previously undruggable targets. The...
Tumor phenotypes are dictated not only by the neoplastic cell component, but also by the tumor microenvironment (TME), which is inherently immuno-suppressive, is equipped to hamper effector...
RNA plays important and diverse roles in biology, but molecular tools to manipulate and measure RNA are limited. We demonstrate that RNA-targeting CRISPR effector Cas13 can be engineered for...
The CRISPR/Cas genome editing system has revolutionized nearly every aspect of the life science industry. Until recently, the most used formats for this technology have been plasmids, mRNA,...
CRISPR-based genome editing has accelerated biological research and holds great potential for studying and treating human diseases. The CRISPR-Cas9 system requires a Cas9 nuclease and a guid...
Genome editing with an expanded CRISPR-Cas tool set increases the opportunity to make intentional, targeted changes in the genome. Furthermore, improved specificity of genome editing and abi...
A repeat expansion in the C9orf72-SMCR8 complex subunit (C9orf72) represents the most common genetic cause of two fatal neurodegenerative diseases: frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrop...
CRISPR experiments are a powerful tool which are easy to carry out, however it is more difficult to determine the outcome of these experiments, and to ensure that only the desired targets we...
Cas9 based therapeutics have the potential to revolutionize the treatment of genetic diseases. However, safe and effective methods for delivering Cas9 protein, gRNA and donor DNA need to be...

There are many methods of nucleic acid isolation. Each technology offers different approaches of purification of the template. However, it is important to control carry over of “proces...
For more than a century, breakthroughs in biological sciences have relied on the ability to study cells outside of respective organisms. While majority of cell culturing is still performed u...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer-delimited pieces of cells that are released from the plasma membrane as "ectosomes" and from the endosomal system as "exosomes.&...
Extracellular ligands bind to receptors on the cell surface leading to receptor internalization. Once internalized into small vesicles, the vesicles fuse with an organelle known as the sorti...
Suspension by day, imaging by night: how to efficiently manage your system and optimize utilization Presented By: Jared K. Burks, PhD Mass cytometry, be it suspension or imaging, opens the d...
Intestinal organoids are self-organizing, 3D structures derived from either pluripotent stem cells or from primary tissues with the abiltiy to recapitulate some of the spatial architecture a...
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized vesicles containing active proteins, lipids, and different types of genetic material such as non coding RNA species, related to the characteristics...
Cell culture continues to be a critical tool for most life science research and applications. From HeLa to iPSCs and 3D to organoids, culture methods have become more advanced and techniques...
Come join us for a live chat with Bernd Bodenmiller. When you enter the meeting room you can raise your hand to be unmuted by our moderator to ask your questions or just introduce yourself a...
