Metabolic pathways are upregulated in cancer cells to promote their growth and proliferation. The evidence pointing to the requirement of the amino acid serine in tumorigenesis is overwhelming. Serine

Hyaluronic acid (Hyaluronan) belongs to the group of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), but unlike other GAGs like Heparan sulfate

In a recent post,  I invited you to discover a cell

Stem Cells: a great tool for biomedical research! From the embryo at a very early stage of development, stem cells have two important capabilities: to multiply to infinity by simple division and

Stable expression in a cell lines is very useful for numerous projects. For example, it helps in Eukaryotes for optimization of protein productions and it is convenient for recurrent needs and high

Trpytophan (trp) is an important and essential amino acid that has a variety of functions within the cell. In addition to being incorporated

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

In drug discovery screening campaigns as well as in fundamental research activities, cellular parameters have to be measured and monitored in living cells regularly. Often fluorescent dyes are used to

The CRISPR-CAS9 system may well have opened Pandora's box, but it is also definitely the cornucopia of genome editing.

We can do what we want in the genome: settle a mutation, correct a mutation,

Early in 2015, researchers of The University of Queensland Diamantina Institute (Australia) have shown a very sensible approach to the discovery of new biomarkers associated to transition from non-metastatic

Knowledge about which epitopes are recognized by a blocking antibody can help researchers to develop
