6 popular Microtubule agents used in in vitro tubulin assays
Microtubules are key components of the cytoskeletal structure of eukaryotic cells. Composed of alpha- and beta- tubulin sub-units, microtubules are dynamic entities
Neuromuscular diseases: A new application for Statins?
Statins are HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, well-known  medications for treating Hypercholesterolemia. Simvastatin is a member of this "Statin family" and controls
Following your proteins - anti-tag antibodies (I)
When producing recombinant proteins, one can follow the purification process either by antibodies detecting the target protein specifically, or by adding a tag to it, thus using antibodies detecting not
Antibody purification troubleshooting tips
Antibody-based techniques are widely used in Life Science laboratories. Antibody purification is often required to raise purity yield of antibody production batches or to reach publication-grade
3 tips for IHC troubleshooting
The sensitivity and specificity of the primary and secondary antibodies used together with the IHC procedure used, are critical to avoid biased results. Several factors can cause false-positive or false-negative

Anti-Tag antibodies you can rely on: a focus on GFP and RFP
My colleague Ana introduced in a previous post (3 years ago already!) a selection of the most popular anti-tag antibodies among the research community. I must say that they remain extremely popular, showing
STING: key player in drug development?
Recent articles have highlighted the role the STING cell signalling pathway may be playing in drug development, whether via its inhibition to control innate immunity and inflammation (Nature Biotechnology,
Immunoassay development: reliable sources of quality reagents
We understand how crucial it is to have access to sustainable, quality sources of reagents when developing and/or producing the same immunoassays over long periods of times. Over the years, we've established
Immunotherapy for breast cancer: Types and effectiveness
Our body is made up of trillions of cells grouped together to form tissues and organs. The genes present in the nucleus of every cell tell it when to grow, work, divide and die.
Normally, our cells follow
