i-Fect siRNA Transfection Successes

Meeting your Gene Expression Analysis Requirements.

I have posted many success stories resulting from use of  Neuromics'  Neuromics' i-FectTM siRNA Transfection Kit. It has been 3 months since my last posting so here I would like to post some recent highlights.

Here I feature customer publication demonstrating:
  1. Down regulation of Neuroligin 2-data showed unexpected upregulation and pronociceptive effects of the “inhibitory” NL2 in neuropathic pain, suggesting a functional shift of NL2 from inhibition to excitation that changed the synaptic ratio toward higher excitation.
  2. Role of IGFPB5 for survival of neurons in post-natal development.
  3. HDAC role in Anxiety and Alcoholsim
Here're the publications:
