• Japanese researchers succeed in making generations of mouse clones
  

  Using the technique that created Dolly the sheep, researchers from the RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Kobe, Japan have identified a way to produce healthy mouse clones that live a normal lifespan and can be sequentially cloned indefinitely. In an experiment that started in 2005, the team more

• Ibuprofen Decoy

  Enzymes can be efficient biocatalysts for organic synthesis, but often only work on a small range of specific substrates. Yoshihito Watanabe and colleagues at Nagoya University and RIKEN (Japan) have tricked enzymes into catalyzing reactions between molecules of choice, they report in Chemistry—An A more

• New study sheds light on genetics of rice metabolism
  

  A large-scale study analyzing metabolic compounds in rice grains conducted by researchers at the RIKEN Plant Science Center (PSC) and their collaborators has identified 131 rice metabolites and clarified the genetic and environmental factors that influence their production. The findings provide a na more

• Optimization of Transfection Conditions for Gene Expression, siRNA Knock-Down, and Live Cell Imaging Using FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent
  

  The experimental method of introducing foreign mole­cules into cells is an important tool to facilitate studies in various biological fields. Transfection using lipophilic methods (liposomes or other cationic species) is a convenient means of introducing many different types of molecules (plasmid DNA, RNA, siRNA, and miRNA) into eukaryotic cells [1,2]. However, the optimal condition for incorporation depends on the type of transfection reagent and the cells being used, resulting in variable transfection efficiency and the extent of cell damage caused by transfection. more
