Summary: This Earth Month we at InVivo Biosystems are thinking about how we utilize Earth’s resources in biomedicine – from animal systems that enable us to model a patient’s disease or gene mutation, to natural products which can act as therapeutics, we have a lot to be grateful for. Often when thinking about celebrating Earth …
Quick Guide to Natural Products: What They are and How They Impact You Read More »
Here at InVivo Biosystems we spend a lot of time thinking, and talking, about genome editing. We thought it would be fun to compile a list of our frequently used terms – so here they are, our ABCs of genetic research.
In this white paper we will discuss the advantages and limitations of zebrafish and ask: is a zebrafish model right for my research?
In this whitepaper we discuss the advantages and limitations of C. elegans, and ask the question: is a C. elegans model right for my research?
In this article we discuss the rise in gut dysbiosis, and new risk factors: microplastics, consumption of supplements, and chronic stress.
In this article, we will discuss the commonly used model organisms for microbiome research, and what insights they can provide.
Summary A recent publication by Crouzier et al. emphasized the utility of zebrafish as a model for investigating rare diseases — enabling better understanding of their underlying mechanisms, and the development of therapeutics to treat these diseases. In this article we will discuss Crouzier et al.’s publication, and InVivo Biosystems’ ongoing work to help identify …
Review of Zebrafish Models to Boost Research in Rare Genetic Diseases Read More »
This article will discuss recent findings, and how similar studies present an exciting and promising future for currently incurable diseases.
Turmeric has become a buzzword in the health community, its market size growing immensely in the past few years: approximately doubling from $50.3 million in 2017 to $97 million in 2020, and is expected to continue this growth, jumping to $191.89 million by 2028 (Grand View Research, 2021; Schultz, 2021). But what separates turmeric from other health fads like the routinely debunked ‘celery juice detox’ trend?
Summary Zebrafish models largely began as a way to research developmental biology, however, their potential to be a preclinical model of human disease quickly became apparent. While the pharmaceutical industry initially invested in zebrafish models, they have yet to widely adopt it – it’s time for that to change. George Stresinger began using zebrafish as …
