Updated: 2010-08-23 15:56:55
Improvements in automation and acquisition time have made the microscope a viable platform for performing hundreds of concurrent parallel experiments. Using these sorts of tools, it is now possible to run high-throughput screens for protein function and interaction in living cells, examining dynamic cellular processes to distinguish between primary and secondary phenotypes, and to [...]Guest Lecturer in Biology vaccany available at Bangalore

Updated: 2010-08-17 18:18:15Immunoprecipitation is a commonly used technique for isolating and purifying a protein of interest. An antibody for the protein is incubated with a cell extract, and the resulting antibody/antigen complex is pulled out of solution. The method used for preparation of the cell extract can be critical for the experiment’s success. The [...]Biochemistry - Fifth Edition

Updated: 2010-08-10 11:13:13Single patient Clinical Trial are not new idea, FDA did not focus since such trial canot prove the efficacy and safety of medicine over a large pool of patient with sufficient data. But I was forced to re-think after reading the article http://www.technologyreview.in/biomedicine/12537/ why cant we use the the concept mentioned in to overcome the [...]High Yield Recombinant Protein Production
Updated: 2010-08-09 19:52:53Producing recombinant proteins in bacterial hosts is a widely-used laboratory procedure. But generating a large yield of protein is often challenging. Getting enough raw material for experiments can be a time-consuming and frustrating process. In the August issue of Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, Jianjun Wang and colleagues present a method for Preparation [...]Zinc Finger Nuclease Deletions
Updated: 2010-08-02 15:55:08Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) are artificial restriction enzymes made by fusing an engineered zinc finger DNA-binding domain to the DNA cleavage domain of a restriction enzyme. ZFNs can be used to generate targeted genomic deletions of large segments of DNA in a wide variety of cell types and organisms. In the August issue [...]Imaging Lipids in Living Cells
Updated: 2010-07-21 15:52:13While it is possible to analyze the global lipid composition of a cell, a deeper understanding of what lipids are doing within that cell is more difficult to come by. Though the lipid components may be known, finding their exact position, how dynamically they change location, and how rapidly they are metabolized presents an [...]Zebrafish Electroporation
Updated: 2010-07-12 21:53:22The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has rapidly become a favored model organism for studying developmental biology. One of the most commonly used methods for genetic manipulation in the zebrafish is the delivery of plasmids or oligonucleotides to cells within the living embryo via electroporation. When cells are exposed to brief electrical fields, transient membrane destabilization [...]Drosophila Immunohistochemistry
Updated: 2010-07-06 21:54:49Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press’ new Drosophila Neurobiology laboratory manual covers the three main approaches taught in the CSHL course: studying neural development, recording and imaging the nervous system, and studying behavior. The featured electrophysiology paper is part of the recording/imaging section, while the second featured article in the July issue of Cold Spring [...]
