In a recent post on  Venomous toxin ion channel modulators, we looked at toxin derived peptides to manipulate a wide variety of ion channels. These toxins can be used as tools to characterize

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

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

Rat liver tritosomes are hepatic lysosomes that have been loaded with Tyloxapol (Triton WR 1339), a non-ionic surfactant. Tyloxapol is taken up by hepatocytes through endocytosis and is trafficked to lysosomal

Tumour immune evasion can be mediated by a complex set of interaction involving p53, miR-34 and PDL1. This is the conclusion of a work by Cortez et al. and recently published in JCNI .

The involvement

If you're studying human pulmonary function and pathophysiology, you need access to validated, highly characterised, human airway cellular models. A large collection of these cells is available

The Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) affects the development of drugs for all pathologies (brain exposure to drugs, side effects...). In the early phases of drug development, there is a strong need for stable

The treatment of diseases by inducing, enhancing, or surpressing an immune response is referred to as Immunotherapy.

Transporters have become increasingly important in drug development due to the major role they play in absorption, distribution and excretion of endogenous

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

In a recent post,  I invited you to discover a cell line provided by BPS Bioscience over-expressing the checkpoint

Cell culture models using 2D substrates have provided important conceptual advances in understanding the biology of cells. However, cells grown on flat 2D surfaces can differ substantially from physiological
