• Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis & Its Experimental Steps

  by Samantha James February 26, 2020
  The principle of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis is that in the first direction, isoelectric focusing is used to separate proteins based on their isoelectric points. In the second direction, SDS-PAGE is used to separate proteins in complex protein mixtures on a two-dimensional plane. After many ...

  by Samantha James February 25, 2020
  In a recent study published in Nature Communications, scientists from Cornell University made new findings in common and fatal gastric cancer research. In the United States, the incidence of gastroesophageal cancer increased 2.5-fold from the 1970s to the early 2000s, however, from the 1950s, the nu...

• The Largest Cancer Genome Study Announced Public II

  by Samantha James February 22, 2020
  In August 1976, scientists first proposed that the development of cancer follows an evolutionary process. Since then, researchers have characterized the evolution of cancer from the perspective of random mutations and natural selection. If the mutations carried by cancer cells are highly adaptive, s...
