Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells isolated from various sources that can differentiate into other cell types. In humans, these sources include: bone marrow, fat (adipose tissue), umbilical cord tissue (Wharton's jelly) or amniotic fluid (the fluid surrounding the foetus). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), or stromal stem cells, can differentiate into many cell... Continue reading
The acronym CRISPR stands for repetitive sequences in the DNA of bacteria, which function as auto-vaccines. Many human diseases are genetic in nature, caused by changes or mutations in an individual's genetic sequence or by aberrant expression of certain genes. Gene therapy aims to correct or replace the dysfunctional gene in a cell, and the... Continue reading
Stem cells - from healthy donors or patients - are often used in basic research, drug discovery and therapeutic applications, but their cultivation can be difficult. This article provides tips on how to cultivate stem cells in the laboratory to ensure reproducible and reliable results. Under the right conditions, stem cells maintain their stem cell...

August vaccination Awareness Month raises awareness and encourages everyone to make sure they are up to date with the necessary vaccinations for potentially harmful diseases. Many diseases can be easily prevented with vaccines, protecting against unseen viruses. Take the necessary precautions by calling your doctor and avoid potential harm by leading a healthy, happy life.... Continue reading
ELISA Test technology is commonly used in biomedical studies. It helps with diagnostic cases and science causes, where it is still a very popular analytic technology. It is fast, precise and easy to use. It can be automatised. It is also safe and quite cheap. What is ELISA test for? ELISA Test (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay)... Continue reading
Mononuclear cells, or Total Nuclear Cells, are mesenchymal stem cells involved in tissue regeneration and repair processes. They are primitive, non-specialised cells that have the ability to transform themselves into different types of cells in the body. Their function is to replace tissue damaged as a result of trauma or ageing. What are mononuclear cells?... Continue reading
Chromatin is a mass of genetic fabric composed of DNA and proteins that condenses to shape chromosomes all through eukaryotic mobileular department. Chromatin is placed withinside the nucleus of our cells. The primary function of this composed of DNA and proteins is to compress DNA into a compact unit that is smaller and can fit...

Monkeypox virus belongs to the genus Orthopoxvirus withinside the own circle of relatives Poxviridae. The genus Orthopoxvirus also includes smallpox virus (which causes smallpox), vaccinia virus (used in the smallpox vaccine) and bovine pox virus. Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by infection with the monkeypox virus. But while the transmissions have caused concern among... Continue reading
Northern blotting technique is a technique used to study gene expression. It is performed by the detection of a specific RNA (or isolated mRNA). The mRNA is usually represented in 5% of the total RNA sequence. This method reveals the identity, number, activity and size of the particular gene.This blotting technique can also be used...

p53 gene, known as the "genome guard", is a gene that produces a protein located inside the nucleus of cells that plays a key role in controlling cell division and death. Mutations (changes) in the p53 gene can cause cancer cells to grow and spread throughout the body. These changes have been found in a... Continue reading
