In recent years, research into the nervous system has advanced greatly, thanks to progress in areas like molecular biology, electrophysiology, biochemistry, high-resolution microscopy, computational neuroscience and nanotechnology. We can even understand some complex processes occurring in within a neuron. So nowadays, scientists can study several aspects of the nervous system including how it works, its… Read article →
Reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is one of the most widely used methods for gene quantification today because it offers numerous advantages. High sensitivity, accuracy, speed and specificity are the key benefits that have made it a gold standard for gene expression analysis. However, a number of critical factors are involved during the various steps… Read article →
A cascade of complex genetic and epigenetic changes regulate tumor formation and progression. Gene expression analyses can shed light on these changes at a molecular level and identify the key genes and associated pathways involved in cancer. Often the samples used in cancer research are FFPE samples, which pose a significant challenge in terms of nucleic acid… Read article →
Strategies to counter tumor heterogeneity are high on the wish list of oncologists and cancer researchers. Within a single tumor, cells can differ in size, proliferation rate and ability to metastasize. Most significantly for physicians and patients, they can also differ in their sensitivity to chemotherapy. How can we best understand and investigate this aspect… Read article →
The original nano-machines I was quite excited to hear the announcement that the 2016 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to a group of 3 European scientists for developing “nano-machines,” a technological breakthrough which crafted the path for the world’s first smart materials. Sir Fraser Stoddart, Bernard Feringa and Jean-Pierre Sauvage developed the world´s smallest… Read article →
