Effective services and products dedicated to various research programs targeting the microtubule cytoskeleton (oncology, etc.)
Introduction
Microtubule cytoskeleton plays several major roles in cells. It is particularly important during mitosis, when microtubule-based bipolar spindle assures chromosome partitioning between daughter cells. Failure to properly segregate chromosomes in mitosis is frequently associated with cancerogenesis and tumour progression.
Several epidemiological studies have demonstrated the potential of the Omega 3 fatty acid in the prevention of cardiovascular illness, a major cause of mortality in industrialised countries.
High Efficiency DNA engineering. Custom-made DNA vectors. Custom-made bacterial strains
Introduction
Genetic engineering aims at rearranging the DNA sequences in order to confer new properties to diverse living cells. Genetic engineering is an important component of fundemental biological research and also enables biotechnology industries to discober, better understand or even create new biological molecules or processes.
Impact of Global Change on Microbial, Vegetal and Functional Diversity in Alpine Ecosystems
As part of the French National Research Agency's (Agence Nationale de la Recherche) " BIODIVERSA call for projects, we have put together a consortium of European laboratories to study the relationship between microbial, vegetal and functional variations on a landscape scale. One of the objectives of this study is the development of a simple and standardised method for analysing ecosystem biodiversity based on on-site sampling followed by high throughput laboratory analysis.
