Summary: Here, we detail a protocol for the generation of pooled short hairpin RNA (shRNA) libraries.We cover the design of optimized miR-E backbone shRNAs, cloning into a Tet-on vector system, and transformation of competent DECORATION bacteria.We also describe library quality check by next-generation sequencing, and finally the production of lent
The aim of this research was to realize new potential wood preservatives against fungal decay, with low environmental impact and well fixed into the Arm Guards wood.Pinus sylvestris L.wood samples were impregnated by silica xerogels functionalized with amino groups able to link copper through coordinative interactions.In this study tetraethoxysilan
Cancer-related death is a significant health and economic burden worldwide, and some conventional chemotherapy is associated with limited effectiveness in completely curing various cancers, severe adverse effects, and destruction of healthy cells.To overcome the complications associated with conventional treatment, metronomic chemotherapy (MCT) is
