Ras and Rho family members are small G proteins involved in the regulation of actin-dependent cell processes such as motility, growth, and intracellular trafficking. Furthermore, dysfunctions of Ras and

Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a family of proteins which catalyze the NAD-dependent addition of Poly ADP-ribose (PAR) chains to nuclear proteins. PARPs play key signaling roles in apoptosis,

In my previous blogs, I invited you to read about the relevance of the B7-1

Actin can be stained in living and fixed cells to determine and follow the structure and function of the cytoskeleton. The actin cytoskeleton is a very dynamic and labile structure in the living cell,

In previous blogs, I invited you to join me in exploring the relevance of the following pathways:

Glycosaminoglycans (or mucopolysaccharides) are long un-branched polysaccherides which consist of disaccharide repeats. The repeats usually (with the exception of Keratan sulfate) consist of on

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

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

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

Recently I reported about methods to measure:

• Collagen - Sircol for soluble and insoluble collagen assays
• Glycosaminoglycans - How to measure Glycosaminoglycans
