Addgene is a non-profit plasmid repository dedicated to accelerating research and discovery by storing, quality-controlling, and distributing plasmid DNA constructs and related products, making these reagents more accessible to researchers worldwide. In addition, they produce instructional videos, blogs, and e-books aimed at educating the scientific.

Pathogenic bacteria that infect the human digestive system often invade or otherwise manipulate intestinal cells to replicate and spread. E.coli, Shigella, and Salmonella feature a Type III secretion system, a syringe-like device that allows bacteria to inject proteins directly into human cells. Once inside, these proteins hijack the cellular machinery in.

The protein p53 is responsible for preventing cells with damaged DNA from replicating. It can halt cell growth until the damage is repaired, or in cases of severe damage will instruct a cell to commit suicide. Mutations that inactivate p53 are commonly detected in human cancer. Recent research suggests that p53 may also play an additional and more direct.

Microtubules are one of the three major components of the cellular skeleton, involved in both maintaining cell shape and allowing transport of materials throughout the cell. They are particularly important in neurons, as they form the scaffold along which neurotransmitters are delivered within axons. Tau, a protein that normally binds to and stabilizes.

In numerous species, male and female organisms have a different number of X chromosomes. To correct this difference, gene expression throughout the entire chromosome is altered in one of the sexes in a process called dosage compensation. This is accomplished in different ways depending on the species: human females shut down nearly all genes from one of.

When there is insufficient blood supply or circulation, organs and tissues are deprived of oxygen for extended periods of time. Sudden reintroduction of oxygen sometimes results in inflammation and oxidative damage, a phenomenon called ischemia-reperfusion injury. The Ledbetter lab used cell culture and animal models to investigate the potential of the.
