Caenorhabditis elegans Overexpression Model Development Service
At Creative Biolabs, we are at the forefront of innovative research and development in the field of neuroscience. With over 20 years of experience, we specialize in providing cutting-edge services for the development of C. elegans overexpression models for studying neurological diseases. Our expertise lies in utilizing the powerful genetic toolkit of C. elegans to engineer transgenic strains that overexpress specific genes of interest.
C. elegans Overexpression Models for Neurological Diseases
By introducing and overexpressing disease-related genes in C. elegans, we can artificially increase the expression levels of specific genes associated with neurological disorders. This enables researchers to study the effects of gene alterations on neuronal function and behavior. We can selectively upregulating target genes associated with diseases such as:
- Alzheimer's
- Parkinson's
- Huntington's
- Dementia
- Depression
- Epilepsy
- Motor disorder
- Pain
- Anxiety
- Neuropathic
- Neurodegeneration
Workflow for Generating Overexpressed C. elegans Models
Our C. elegans overexpression model development service follows a meticulously designed workflow to ensure the generation of reliable and reproducible models.
