Studying Apoptosis In Tumors

April 27, 2010 – 5:19 am

I have featured Gary Johnson here.
I value my partnership with his compant, ICT. They provide our customers with potent and research proven Apoptosis Kits and Methods. Here we feature publications referencing our MitoPT™ Kits. These Kits easily assess changes in mitochondrial membrane potential. Changes in mitochondrial membrane potential can correlate with cytochrome c release and the initiation of [...]

Delivering 27mer DsiRNAs to Mice DRGs

June 23, 2009 – 10:20 am

DsiRNA was delivered in mice via IT injection using i-Fect. This added further support to the idea that the very potent DsiRNA coupled with a cationic delivery system that works in neurons is a very effective way to study the role of various genes in CNS function.
