Cell adhesion is a complex process involved in migration/invasion, embryogenesis, wound healing and tissue remodeling. Cells adhere to the extracellular matrix, forming complexes with cytoskeleton components that can affect cell motility, differentiation, proliferation, and survival.

The Cas9 protein (CRISPR associated protein 9) has gained attention as a genome engineering tool to cause site-directed double strand breaks in DNA. Resulting DNA breaks can inactivate genes or introduce heterologous genes through non-homologous end joining and homologous recombination, respectively, in many model organisms. Both gene deletion and gene replacement have been demonstrated using the CRISPR/Cas9 system in human cells.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a synthetic compound belonging to the group of diphenylmethane derivatives. BPA is used in the synthesis of polymer plastics, including some polycarbonate resins, epoxy resins, and polysulfones. BPA-based plastics have been used in a wide range of consumer goods, and epoxy resins created from BPA have been used to coat pipets, the interior of food cans, and to make thermal paper used in sales receipts. Because BPA has estrogen-mimicking properties, as it binds both estrogen receptors ERa and ERß (although at a much lower rate than estradiol), some businesses have stopped using BPA. Cell Biolabs` Bisphenol A (BPA) Competitive ELISA Kit provides a convenient method to measure BPA concentrations in a variety of sample types. Each kit provides sufficient reagents for up to 96 assays, including standards and unknown samples.
