Transfection of DNA and RNA
Transfection is the process of introducing foreign nucleic acids, such as DNA or RNA, into cells. This technique is widely used in molecular biology and biotechnology research for the study of gene function, gene regulation, and protein expression, as well as for the development of gene therapies and vaccines. There are several methods available for…

Cationic Lipid-Based Reagent
Cationic lipid-based reagents are widely used in molecular biology and biotechnology for the delivery of nucleic acids, such as DNA or RNA, into cells. This process is known as transfection. Cationic lipid-based reagents are particularly popular because of their relatively low toxicity, ease of use, and versatility compared to other transfection methods, such as viral…

Endoplasmic Reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an interconnected network of membrane-bound sacs and tubules found within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It plays a crucial role in protein synthesis, folding, and transport, as well as lipid metabolism and calcium storage. The ER can be classified into two main types based on their structure and function: rough…
