Researchers advance CRISPR technology to replicate human diseases with unprecedented accuracy

by  Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research Generation and validation of pdCas9a-SAM construct in Eµ-Myc lymphoma cell lines. a Schematic representation of the pdCas9a-SAM lentiviral construct. b Western blot analysis for BCL-2 in manipulated Eµ-Myc lymphoma cell lines. EMRK-1184 or MRE-721 Eµ-Myc lymphoma-derived cell lines were transduced with pdCas9a-SAM only or pdCas9a-SAM plus Bcl-2...

Human beings play host to trillions of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microorganisms that make up the human microbiome. In recent years, the mix of these resident bacteria, and the presence of specific bacterial species, has been...

What are Endosomes?

By Dr. Sanchari Sinha Dutta, Ph.D. Endosomes are membrane-bound cytosolic vesicles with three major compartments namely early, late, and recycling endosomal compartments. Endosomes are the integral parts of the endocytic process, and thereby, play crucial roles in various physiological processes, such as nutrient uptake, sorting and delivery of macromolecules, and regulation of cell surface receptors and...
