EssayThe third dimension bridges the gap between cell culture and live tissue

We believe that 3D cultures will have a strong impact on drug screening and will also decrease the use of laboratory animals, for example, in the context of toxicity assays.

Nuevos controles para nuestro experimentos?

Por favor lean este articulo. Podriamos cambiar nuestros controles de carga (GAPDH, etc) para adecuarlos mejor. Por favor opinen al respecto.

Evidence Based Selection of Housekeeping Genes

For accurate and reliable gene expression analysis, normalization of gene expression data against housekeeping genes (reference or internal control genes) is required. It is known that commonly used housekeeping genes (e.g. ACTB, GAPDH, HPRT1, and B2M) vary considerably under different experimental conditions and therefore their use for normalization is limited.
Here we show novel candidate housekeeping genes (e.g. RPS13, RPL27, RPS20 and OAZ1) with enhanced stability among a multitude of different cell types and varying experimental conditions.

A multiplicity of cell death pathways

En abril de este año se llevó acabo el congreso de "The Keystone Symposium on Apoptotic and Non-Apoptotic Cell Death Pathways".
Los doctores Golstein y Guido Kroemer publicaron un artículo en donde reportan algunos de los trabajos presentados en este congreso. Les anexo la cita. Está interesante.
