The advent of CRISPR as a gene editing tool appears to have revolutionized drug discovery and development in a very short time. CRISPR-Cas9 technology is also being utilized to target HIV, to mutate or cut out the provirus. Read about what’s new in potential treatments for HIV and the challenges facing the industry.

On the scientific horizon are possibilities of curing genetic disorders and altering disease management — all because of CRISPR. Investigating exciting approaches to reversing the effects of muscular dystrophy with the help of CRISPR is Dr. Chengzu Long at NYU. Read more about his life, his work, and where he sees CRISPR going next.

Even though antibodies are central to basic research as well as drug development and diagnostics, concerns with antibody validation remain high, and finding an antibody that works well for a specific application can be quite a challenge. Use these tips to select the best antibodies for your application.

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in the world and, due to an aging population, more and more people are diagnosed with cancer every year. Researchers are actively searching for treatment options in the form of potential biomarkers. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have piqued the interest of researchers as a relatively new source of therapeutics. Learn more about lncRNAs and see how they can be used in cancer diagnosis and intervention.

Cell analysis is a crucial first step in many experiments so a reliable, flexible, and quick cell analyzer that produces high-resolution, reproducible results is what every lab needs. See how the ZE5™ Cell Analyzer can help improve the quality of your cell analysis experiments, instill confidence in your results, and shorten the time to publish.

Introducing data normalization into your western blotting workflow may sound unnecessary but it has proven to be a great way to ensure great results. Follow along as we break down some of the main takeaways from the first chapter in Dr. Oh’s popular wester blotting webinar series, including a unique method to ease normalization woes and worries.

mRNA-FISH, single-cell RT-qPCR, and single-cell RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) have emerged as popular single-cell transcriptomics technologies. See how the Illumina® Bio-Rad® Single-Cell Sequencing Solution overcomes many of the challenges of currently available platforms by allowing high-throughput and scalable sequencing of even the most challenging sample types, including large cells and small species such as nuclei.
