CRISPR / Cas9 method: The cutting edge technique
introduction This simple and fast method of changing genes has revolutionized the scientific world. The CRISPR / Cas9 method allows very fast and specific genome editing. This technique has already been used successfully in many model organisms (yeast, plant, zebrafish, Drosophila, nematode and mouse) and also works very well in human cell lines. As a result, it…
What is oxidative stress?
Oxidative stress in a living organism is a chemical state in which oxidative species overcome antioxidative systems due to an imbalance between the two parts. The oxidizing species, among which the free radicals stand out, perform important functions such as the elimination of pathogenic bacteria, the regulation of arterial pressure and the transmission of signals. If free…
