Are there DNA targets in your lab that are difficult to genotype using standard PCR or sequencing?Do you ever need to genotype a single sample, and you don’t want to wait to batch sam...
Tumors often evade immune destruction by adapting and circumventing immune checkpoints to create resistance. This adaptive immunity can be reversed to stimulate the endogenous immune re...
The most important job of automated biology is to produce results that moves your research forward. If automation only executes a program of pre-determined set of steps, the researcher is lef...

In healthy liver, quiescent hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) participate in the homeostasis of extracellular matrix and store vitamin A. After injury, HSCs activate and participate in the wound-...
Over the last 15 years, human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC) technologies have progressed from academic curiosities into tools with the promise to underpin commerce, leading to real progress in...
Precision medicine requires success in two intertwined aspects: precision therapy and personalized medicine. Precision therapy is being able to effectively treat the right disease; to have th...
As millions of people all over the world get their genome sequenced, physicians and researchers as well as the individuals themselves will want to ask questions of these data. To ask question...
In vitro translation (IVT) using mammalian cell extracts is a quick and convenient alternative to in vivo mammalian protein expression. Thermo Fisher has developed IVT systems from two mammal...
