Each year Genprice Inc. organizes a recruitment competition for a student to whom we grant an internship for one year in our Laboratory in San Jose. The project is proposed and directed by our PhD Maria Yordanova. Application conditions: - Student in the field of biology or biotechnology. - Last year graduate student. - Concern...

Each year Genprice Inc. organizes a recruitment competition for a student to whom we grant a scholarship of $ 2,500 per year to support him in covering the costs of his studies. Application conditions: - Student in the field of life sciences. - First year graduate student. - Cconcern only accredited partner institutions of Genprice...

Zinc is an essential trace element that is crucial for development growth, and the maintenance of function. Its influence reaches all organs and cell types, surrounding hundreds of transcription factors and enzymes, and representing an integral component of approximately 10% of the human proteome. Zinc deficiency is common, affecting up to a quarter of the...

A heterologous or recombinant protein is a protein produced by a cell whose genetic material has been modified by genetic recombination. A gene encoding a protein of interest is introduced into the genome of the producing species (bacteria, cultured mammalian cells, transgenic animals, etc.). Recombinant proteins can be purified and used for therapeutic, industrial or...

Biotin is a component of the B-complex vitamins that has been widely used in over-thecounter supplements. The effects of biotin on thyroid function tests (TFTs) have been recently reported by multiple authors. We report here a case of a patient who presented with TFTs consistent with hyperthyroidism and a positive radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) scan...

HCV disease is among life threatening general medical issues around the world, with more than 170–200 million HCV infected individuals worldwide including around 17 million patients from Pakistan . Liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma is being caused by HCV. 27% of liver cirrhosis and 25% of hepatocellular carcinoma cases are caused mere due to Hepatitis...

To specialize stem cells more than 350 clinical trials are underway to test tissue self-repair. The few hundred researchers gathered at the beginning of October in Marseille, at the 5th congress of the International Society of Plastic and Regenerative Surgeons, see little limit to its future applications. For its organizer Guy Magalon, a pioneer of...

GFP Green fluorescent protein was isolated in jellyfish, Aequorea Victoria. The protein consists of 238 amino acid residues that fluoresce green when exposed to UV light. This method makes it possible to study proteins in their natural environment: the living cell. The gene for GFP was successfully inserted into E. coli bacteria in 1994 and...

Nucleic acid amplification is a widely used method for the diagnosis and management of infectious diseases. The interpretation of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) results varies depending on the pathogens detected, the site of infection and the clinical presentation. For some infections, PCR tests are now considered a reference method while for others they are only...

Seroconversion is the transition from seronegativity for a pathogen, here HIV, to a state of seropositivity. She signs the infection. The body and its immune system were exposed to the virus and reacted by secreting specific antibodies.

Gentaur stands for Genetics,genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms and laboratory equipment for exclusive use by public or private research organizations. The application of science and technology to living organisms, as well as its components, products and models, to modify living or non-living materials for the production of knowledge, goods and services. Thus, you...

A scientist says he has been successful in helping to bring the world's first genetically modified babies. that binoculars were born after they modified their embryos using CRISPR technology. The manipulation involved removing the CCR5 gene, which plays a crucial role in many forms of HIV.

Monoclonal antibodies are identical because they are produced by a clone of plasmocytes. Monoclonal antibodies are widely used in biology and medicine, both as diagnostic tools and for therapeutic purposes.

Monoclonal antibodies or also known as (MAB) or (moAb) are identical antibodies that are produced in a laboratory from a single clone of B cells. The B cells that are used are also identical, and that is why these antibodies have specifity, and they recognize only one specific antigen, and bind to the same epitope.

Polyclonal antibodies (PA or pAbs ) are produced by different type of B cells lineages. Therefore, this type of antibodies has different structure even if they bind to the same antigen, just slightly different region (epitope).

A US team of scientists managed to publish the genome of reptiles for the first time with the Crispr gene editing tool, creating mini-lizards albino. The manipulation could improve our understanding of sight problems in humans, hope the researchers.
