Fluorescent thermometer for living cells
Thousands of researchers spend time pampering their primary cells and cell lines every day, with the aim of defining their optimal cell culture conditions. Researchers are in effect trying to control
3 easy colorimetric assays to measure ECM components
Matrix components are key R&D elements in pharmaceutical and cosmetology with tremendous impacts on tissue regeneration, skin repair, wound healing, allergy
Crosstalk between cancer and immune cells: tumor escape
A crosstalk between cancer and immune cells is established during cancers. The immune system is able to fight against tumour cells (see my previous post "Immunosurveillance: Crosstalk between cancer
A new fast and sensitive PGE2 Immunoassay kit
PGE2 is a potent lipid mediator involved in maintaining homeostasis but also in the promotion of acute inflammation or immune
SUMO-tag: boost your recombinant protein expression
SUMO-tag gene fusion acts as both a chaperonin and as an initiator of protein folding in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems. Addition of this tag enables protein experts to increase the expression
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
Immunotherapy Screening – OX40:OX40L pathway
The treatment of diseases by inducing, enhancing, or surpressing an immune response is referred to as Immunotherapy. T-cell activation and inactivation requires the coordination of various co-inhibitory
Biomarkers associated to poor prognosis in pancreatic cancer
A recent publication by Torres et al. has found that B7-1/CD80, EG-VEGF/PK1, IL-29, NRG1-beta1/HRG1-beta1, and PD-ECGF expressions portend a poor prognosis for patients with pancreatic cancer, and these
IDO and TDO - Cell based & biochemical assays
Â
Which roles do IDO and TDO play in Immunotherapy? Immune evasion is one of the identifying hallmarks of cancer and researchers are investigating the complex mechanisms that enable cancer cells to evade
Angiogenin favours liver cancer (HCC) growth & expansion
A publication earlier this year by Bárcena et al. shows that angiogenin plays a crucial role in the onset and development of liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma or HCC).
Angiogenin was the first
