Cell culture is a laboratory technique that involves the growth and maintenance of cells in a controlled environment outside of their natural context, typically in a culture dish or flask.…
A dissociation agent is a substance or a mixture of substances that is used to break down or dissociate cell aggregates or tissue samples into single-cell suspensions. The dissociation process…
Low cell viability refers to a situation where a significant number of cells in a population have lost their ability to survive and function properly. This can be caused by…
Transfection enhancers are compounds that can increase the efficiency of transfection, which is the process of introducing foreign genetic material into cells. Here are some commonly used transfection enhancers: Lipofectamine:…
Novel drugs are new pharmaceutical compounds that have not been previously approved for medical use. Here are the general steps involved in the discovery and development of novel drugs: Drug…
Recombinant proteins are proteins that are produced in host cells using recombinant DNA technology. Here are the general steps involved in producing recombinant proteins: Selection of expression system: Choose an…
Transfection experiments are a common laboratory technique used to introduce foreign nucleic acids, such as plasmids or siRNAs, into cells to study gene expression or protein function. Here are the…
Generating stable cell lines is a common practice in molecular biology research that involves integrating a foreign gene of interest into the genome of a host cell line. Here are…
Xenograft animal models involve transplanting human or non-human tissues, cells or tumors into immunocompromised animals, such as mice or rats, for the purpose of studying the behavior and response of…
Passaging cells refers to the process of transferring cells from one culture vessel to another in order to maintain or expand the cell population. This is typically done with cells…
