Most therapeutic agents kill tumor cells by damaging DNA. Evidence shows that cancer cells increase their capacity to repair DNA by overexpressing DNA repair proteins. Increased DNA repair that may remove DNA lesions before they become toxic to cancer
This report describes an equivalent volume measurement method using optical microscopy for estimating the mean volume of nominally 100 um diameter spherical droplets. The droplets are the aqueous phase of proprietary water in oil emulsions used in a
Oxidative stress in a biological system is often defined as a redox imbalance within cells or groups of cells within an organism. Reductive-oxidative (redox) imbalances in cellular systems have been implicated in several diseases such as cancer. To better
Cell membranes, composed primarily of lipid bilayers, are dynamically active structures. While the relationship between heterogeneity of dynamics and biological function is becoming increasingly appreciated, the dynamical characteristics of lipid membranes
Different genomic technologies have been applied to cell line authentication, but only one method (short tandem repeat profiling) has been the subject of a comprehensive standard (ASN-0002). Here we discuss the power of this document, and why standards

Introduction DNA repair proteins may be used as biomarkers in disease etiology and therapy. Thus, the accurate determination of DNA repair protein expression and genotype in human tissues is of fundamental importance. Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1

Oxidatively induced DNA damage is repaired in vivo by various mechanisms involving numerous DNA repair proteins. If not repaired, DNA damage may lead to mutagenesis, which is a fundamental part of the molecular basis of all cancers. Due to the unique

Cell therapy products (CTPs) need quantitative, validated, and robust assays to support informed decision making during their development, manufacturing, and regulation. These products, the materials involved in their production and the methods for
Oxygen- and nitrogen-derived reactive species are constantly generated in living organisms by endogenous and exogenous sources. Reactions of reactive species such as free radicals with DNA cause the formation of multiple mutagenic and cytotoxic lesions
