DNA MICROARRAYS

StratiCELL is renowned for its integrated gene expression profiling services, which range from single gene analysis by qRT-PCR to complete transcriptome profiling via DNA microarrays. Services also include the selection of the best in vitro models and assays, biological material collection, RNA extraction, quality assessment, quantification of gene expression levels and data analysis with a comprehensive biological interpretation focusing on cell and tissue functions directly related to the specifics of skin biology. Whole transcriptome analysis is based on the use of DNA microarrays to monitor the gene expression patterns of the entire genome and to provide deep insights into the mechanisms of action of a test product. This technology is essential for the identification and characterisation of a large number of genes/pathways that are either up-regulated or down-regulated by the test product under specific conditions (healthy or sensitive skin, exposed to UV or pollutants, etc.).
