Research Tools and Reagants

This DNA-based technology provides a novel, selectable marker gene and promoter for producing transgenic plants with heightened levels of tryptophan (Trp).
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a family of novel, synthetic nucleoside analog inhibitors of viral reverse transcriptase (RT) that could potentially offer new treatment option
Researchers in the bioengineering department at the University of Illinois have developed a highly sensitive in vivo selection method for directed evolution of homing endonucleases. The Zhao Lab has
These patent-pending optical contrast agents and molecular detection technologies were developed to enhance the ability of optical coherence tomography (OCT) to non-invasively map molecules in living specimens and diagnose disease where it starts. OCT utilizes low-coherence interferometry to measure the intensity of reflected or backscattered light to form images with micrometer resolution, is readily integrated with existing optical instrumentation and has application across a wide range of biological, medical, surgical, and non-biological specialties.
Nanoprecipitation has emerged as an attractive strategy for preparing polymer nanoparticles used in drug delivery.
Gene therapy has been called the "next big thing" in medicine for the past several years; however, its progress has been hampered by numerous difficulties in the development process such as
