Focus on the AKT cell signaling pathway...
AKT (Protein Kinase B or PKB), is a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase with known key involvement in glucose metabolism, apoptosis, cell proliferation, transcription and cell migration.

How is Amylo-Glo a brighter, longer lasting and higher definition Amyloid plaque marker?
In a previous post I discussed 3 new unique research tools for analyzing Amyloid peptide in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Today, I'd like to come back to the unique properties of the Amylo-Glo® fluorescent
Bioactive small molecule sourcing - when quality meets expectations
Bioactive small molecules facilitate numerous types of Life Science research approaches (enzyme substrates, activators and inhibitors, cell signaling modulator, cell culture...). Accessing reasonably

Focus on 6 cytokine growth factors for cell culture!
Cytokines and growth factors are signaling molecules that control the activities of cells through intercellular communication. Numerous families of diverse molecules are categorized as cytokines and/or
5 reliable research tools to study ERG, USP9X and DUB inhibitor in prostate cancer
In a recent paper published in PNAS, Wang et al. show that the inhibition of the deubiquitinase USP9x by the small molecule WP-1130 is able to induce degradation of the transcription factor E-twenty-six
Stellate cells - models for liver studies
Introduction
Hepatic stellate cells (HSC, also known as perisinusoidal cells or Ito cells), are liver-specific mesenchymal cells found in the space of Disse. HSC maintain interactions with sinusoidal endothelial
6 tips for thawing hepatocytes
Cryopreserved hepatocytes contain the major hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes required to study the four categories of xenobiotic biotransformation: hydrolysis, reduction, oxidation and conjugation. Cryopreserved
Return of SIRT1 deacetylase - Why is SIRT1 so attractive in Drug discovery and Stem cell research?
Mutant or wild-type: 7 effective means to screen and profile Human EZH2 Methyltransferase
Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase EZH2  is a methyltransferase involved in transcriptional gene regulation. Together with with EED, RbAP48, SUZ12 and AEBP2, EZH2 forms a 5-member complex that adds
Main factors for different cell types...
In my previous post, we focused on 6 cytokine growth factors for cell culture. This time, we will try to find the best factor for each main cell type.
