Prime editing is a versatile genome editing technology that allows precise modifications of DNA (replacements, small insertions, and deletions) without introducing DNA double-strand breaks (Anzalone et al., 2019; Chen & Liu, 2023). This method uses a prime editor (typically ...
When you are running flow cytometry, you’ll need various controls to help you set up and analyze your samples. While you are probably familiar with the basics of controls in experimental design, you’ll need a few controls specific to flow as an application. These controls will ...
When analyzing your cells using flow cytometry, you are typically measuring the presence or absence of certain markers on the surface or the inside of your cells. While proteins themselves can emit intrinsic fluorescence when excited with ultraviolet (UV) light, they do so via ...
In flow cytometry, compensation is the process of correcting spillover from one fluorescent channel to another. When you label your samples with multiple antibodies, the fluorescent probes on the antibodies may have similar emission spectra, meaning they will emit fluorescent ...
FITS In vitro CRISPR screens in immune cells have identified many putative regulators of immunity. However, in vitro screens cannot faithfully model the complex spatial, cellular, metabolic, and cytokine microenvironment that exists in vivo. Over the past five years, in vivo ...
In the pursuit of knowledge and groundbreaking discoveries, the world of academia often emphasizes structured methodologies and rigorous research plans. However, amidst the organized chaos of lab research and PhD studies, there lies a hidden gem that has the potential to ...
When using flow cytometry to analyze your samples, it is necessary to set up a sequence of gates to be able to select and precisely measure your cells of interest. In many experiments you’ll be working with a heterogeneous cell population, for example from a processed piece of ...
Throughout their history, fluorescent dyes have enabled the visualization of both organic tissues and cell cultures, opening biological interiors to many inquisitive scientists. Seeing inside these specimens has offered illumination on biochemical processes that are crucial in ...
