Precise modification of faulty genes for repair has been one of the most important goals in medicine. It is now finally within the realm of possibility thanks to the gene editing tool CRISPR. This microbial adaptive immune system can copy and cut…

Brief animation showing how a primary and secondary antibody are used to detect C-fos, an immediate early gene transcribed as a result of recent neural activity. To see why and how C-fos is made please watch the companion video Cfos neural activity

This animation shows how electrical impulses generated by neurons (action potentials) lead to the expression of C-fos by the cell nucleus. C-fos is thus considered an immediate early gene product of recent neural activity. It is widely used in…
