The blood-brain-barrier (BBB) exists to prevent substances in the blood, like proteins and viruses, from crossing into the brain. While helpful from a biological standpoint, it makes delivering AAVs to the brain difficult. Traditionally, delivery is achieved through the use of ...
We are excited to announce the fourth edition of our popular eBook, Plasmids 101, is now available!
Viruses are simple: a genome packaged in a protein shell (Taylor, 2014). They’re so simple that we can’t even decide if they’re alive or not. Yet these simple, small particles have quite the outsized impact — and not just on the disease front.
If you’ve ever used Golden Gate Assembly for cloning, you might be familiar with the rules of thumb for designing your overhang sets. But are those rules the best way to design GGA overhang sets, particularly for high-complexity reactions?
If you study proteins, you’re probably quite interested in the canonical 20 amino acids. But in your quest to learn more about your protein of interest, you may find the available amino acids a bit…limiting. It may be time, then, to look towards genetic code expansion (GCE): ...
Addgene is excited to announce the launch of our partnership with the Institute for Protein Innovation (IPI). Together, we’ll be working to provide researchers with a collection of IPI’s well-validated and ready-to-use recombinant antibodies. The first collection, a set of ...
