Research spotlight
Single-cell transcriptomics has provided a powerful new way to identify and characterize the various cell types that comprise complex tissues and organs. In this video, Dr. Bosiljka Tasic (Allen Institute for Brain Science) discusses a method she and her team developed to investigate the most complex organ of all: the mammalian brain.
Constant genetic variation is the norm for influenza, making vaccine research challenging. Instead of designing primers for each of the eight influenza RNA segments, a clever team of researchers identified a single primer pair, then relied on In-Fusion Cloning for accurate, fast, and standardized subcloning. Learning how to cut the time from outbreak to vaccine: That's Good Science!
Alzheimer's disease research
Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects ~5.8 million adults and is the sixth leading cause of death in the US alone. Over 400 AD clinical trials are currently underway, investigating the possibilities of immunotherapy, our microbiome, and inflammation as prospective therapeutic targets. We have a variety of best-in-class products that can help your AD research move forward.
