The reprogramming cell and regenerative medicine

Reprogramming somatic cells into pluripotent stem cells mature is one of the top scientific advances of recent years. The generation of iPS cells specific to a patient may have applications in cellular therapy. Three years ago, researchers at the University of Tokyo (Japan) first introduced the technique of transformation of adult cells in other mouse that had the potential of embryonic, 1 thus opening a new alternative to obtaining pluripotent cells without being embryonic stem cells. Later, U.S. researchers obtained human iPS cells for the first time. (more...)

How does a DNA molecule encoding a protein?

Translation: The plant cell responsible for the synthesis of proteins is the ribosome. The specific molecules that will move the amino acids (building blocks of proteins) following the guidelines issued by the mRNA is the tRNA. Each tRNA has a specific anticodon (composed of three bases). (more...)

PROPERTIES OF DNA

DNA strands that form the helix have opposite orientations: one is in the direction 5′-3′y its complement in the 3′-5 ‘. The breaking of hydrogen bonds by heat, alkali or various chemical, produces the physical separation of the two strands of DNA in a process called denaturation. The heat denaturation is complete at 90 ° C and excess alkali pHs 11.3. In both cases the process is reversible, and the disappearance of the denaturing agent occurs renaturation of the molecule, ie the re-acquisition of lost-helical structure. ‘

Other MSI Technologies

In addition to RCATTM and MDA MSI has exclusively licensed from Yale University the worldwide rights to two technologies: allele frequency distortion (AFD) and multiparametric fluorescent in-situ hybridization (MFISHTM). These additional technologies increase opportunities to develop new platforms, products and services.
