In the realm of genetic engineering and genome editing, single guide RNA (sgRNA) plays a pivotal role, particularly in the context of CRISPR-Cas9 technology. The effectiveness of CRISPR-Cas9 hinges largely on the design and confirmation of sgRNAs, which direct the Cas9 protein to specific genomic locations. This article delves into the key aspects of designing sgRNAs, the methodologies involved ...
Chitosan is a natural, biodegradable polysaccharide derived primarily from the shells of shrimp, crabs, and fungi. Due to its biocompatibility, antimicrobial properties, and film-forming capabilities, chitosan is widely used in food preservation, water treatment, cosmetics, agriculture, and biomedical applications. 1. What is Chitosan? Chitosan is produced by the deacetylation of chitin, a ...

Introduction The BALB/C mouse is a widely used inbred strain in biomedical research, particularly in the fields of immunology, cancer research, and genetics. Among the various tissues studied, the kidney holds significant importance due to its complex structure and multifaceted role in physiological functions. A formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) block of the BALB/C mouse kidney serves as an ...
The rat thymus, an essential organ in the immune system, plays a crucial role in the development and maturation of T-cells. Investigating the thymus of rats provides valuable insights into immunological processes and disease mechanisms. One of the most effective methods for preserving and studying the cellular architecture of the rat thymus is through the use of Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded ...
Adenocarcinoma of the breast represents a significant subset of breast cancers, characterized by the malignancy of glandular tissues. This specific article focuses on the right medial segment, highlighting its histopathological features, diagnostic methods, and potential therapeutic avenues. Overview of Adenocarcinoma Adenocarcinomas in the breast typically arise from the epithelial cells lining ...
Many oncology drugs have been abandoned by pharmaceutical companies due to poor performance in phase I, II, or III clinical trials. These drugs represent untapped potential treatments for indications outside of those initially investigated. With research and development costs for a single new drug estimated between $2–3 billion, abandoned drugs represent an opportunity to bring drugs to ...
Summary When it comes to surgical precision, most surgeons know the value of excellent loupes and proper ergonomics, but lighting often gets overlooked. And yet, the right lighting setup can make a noticeable difference in clarity, comfort, and even surgical outcomes. Here are two simple but powerful lighting tips that are easy to implement and surprisingly ...
In surgical tissue recovery, focus is on controlling infection, managing inflammation, and ensuring wound closure. Beneath the surface—anatomically and biologically— the extracellular matrix (ECM) is undergoing remodeling ensure long-term tissue integrity. The ECM is a dynamic, biologically active network that orchestrates the entire process of tissue repair, remodeling, and ...
The home healthcare market is experiencing rapid growth as patients seek more convenient, comfortable care outside of hospitals. Whether managing chronic conditions, receiving post-operative care, or utilizing wearable medical devices, patients and providers alike demand medical components that are safe, reliable, and effective in non-clinical settings. Fluoropolymer tubing—PTFE, PFA, and ...
