Oxidative stress can lead to diverse pathophysiological changes in the body. Neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson and Alzheimer are linked to oxidative stress, as well as several cancers and diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fragile X syndrome, heart and blood vessel disorders, heart attack, heart failure, and atherosclerosis (for an overview see Fig. 1). In this post, let’s look at some convenient kits to measure the anti-oxidative potential of your samples!

Propelled into the spotlight by the COVID-19 pandemic, mRNA has become a biological entity of great interest in drug discovery – yet mRNA vaccines are just the promising beginning, leading to more and more discoveries and applications. mRNA demonstrates high potential to cure numerous other diseases, as we invite you to discover in this post – let’s take a look at a number of other mRNA based applications with active R&D, establishing mRNA beyond a current trend.

With the great success of the SIR-probes for efficient labeling of the cell Cytoskeleton, DNA and Lysosome, Spirochrome have just launched a series of 10 new live cell fluorescent tools : The SPY^TM probes.

Developed by Epicypher and available in Europe through tebu-bio, CUTANA CUT&RUN and its sister technology CUT&TAG are quickly becoming the preferred approaches for Chromatin Mapping experiments over the classical method ChiP-Seq. To supplement these advances, EpiCypher is also leading the way for the validation of highly specific antibodies to histone PTMs for chromatin profiling assays. Let’s see how these new antibodies are validated.
