Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology is a fundamental tool in molecular biology to rapidly amplify DNA sequences. PCR technique is based on the principle of enzymatic replication of nucleic acids and is one of the…
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a quick, simple, and the most accurate molecular test to create unlimited copies of DNA from just one original strand. PCR technology has revolutionized genetic testing and has become…
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was invented by Kary B. Mullis in 1985 for which he was also awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1993. In 1993, the first FDA-approved PCR kit came to market…
Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a laboratory technique that rapidly amplifies tiny amounts of biological samples to millions or even billions of copies of a targeted nucleotide sequence. The entire process of PCR is automated…
Since its introduction, 3D cell culture has revolutionized cancer research by providing an efficient and modifiable research platform, that recapitulates in vivo like cell structure, function, gene expression and tissue microenvironment, all of which are…
Tumors derive from an abnormal growth of cells that occurs when cells continue to divide more than they should or when they do not enter programmed cell death. Tumors can be either benign or malignant.…
Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models have gained more popularity over the last decade due to the advantages of better mimicking the in vivo microenvironment and tissue microarchitecture. However, applications of 3D cell culture models in…
Magnetic 3D bioprinting uses magnetic fields to manipulate the positioning of magnetic nanoparticles or magnetized cells during the 3D printing process. The process of magnetic 3D bioprinting involves the following steps (1,2): 1. Preparing the…
Cancer is one of the most threatening diseases and leading cause of death worldwide (1). Intra- and intertumoral heterogeneity is often responsible for metastasis formation, treatment failure, and therapy resistance. The increase in the cost…
The rather low success rates in new drug development and the increased costs suggest that alternative and robust strategies are required to improve early drug discovery. Two-dimensional (2D) monolayer cultures do not provide a true…
