The transition from non-invasive phenotype to invasive phenotype of tumor cells marks the switch from a benign tumor to a more malignant form of cancer. Understanding the mechanisms underlying this hallmark

In a previous post, I discussed Caspases as pharmaceutical targets - how to screen for inhibitors?

Today I would like to concentrate on Caspase inhibitors/modulators, which allow for in-depth characterisation

ELISAs are widely used in biomarker-related studies, especially when a high number of samples is involved, and only a few biomarkers need to be quantified. That said, incubations can be somehow cumbersome,

In a recent video posted on "Cambridge University's YouTube channel", Professor Gillian Griffiths and co-workers prove how the Life Science Community can benefit from modern and innovative cell 

Cell death can be caused by external factors such as infection or trauma - a process which is call necrosis. On the other hand, cell death can be mediated by intracellular programs - in this cases we talk

Flow cytometry, even if somehow a "classical" technique, is still very valuable in Immunology. Uses of flow cytometry vary from cell identification & sorting based on membrane molecules, characterisation

A lot of compounds are known and available to modulate (inhibit or activate) the most prominent mode of programmed cell death - Apoptosis. In a recent post, I summarized methods to detect early Apoptosis

In a previous post, I introduced several models to study the cardiac human system. This first post introduced human aortic, brachiocephalic, carotid artery and coronary artery cells isolated by Cell Applications

Caspases (cysteine-dependent aspartate-directed proteases) belong to the family of cysteine proteases and are involved in networks controlling cell death (apoptosis and necrosis) and inflammation.

Actin and Tubulin, as the major cytoskeleton structures, are crucial components of a plethora of

The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway is an intracellular signaling pathway important in regulating the cell cycle. It is directly related to cellular quiescence, proliferation, cancer, and

In this post, I'd like to  introduce human aortic, brachiocephalic, carotid artery and coronary artery cells isolated by Cell Applications Inc. In a future post, I'll be highlighting human internal
