Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is important in many biological processes such as wound repair, tissue hydration and inflammation. HA is also a potential biomarker for diseases such as osteoarthritis, liver cirrhosis

Gene expression is regulated by different mechanisms. One of them is the binding of Transcription

Corticosterone is a glucocorticoid secreted by the cortex of the adrenal gland in response to stimulation by adrenocorticotropic hormone. Corticosterone is a major indicator of stress in non-human mammals.

A few months ago I read a very nice blog post from our friends at TriLink Biotechnologies giving the chemist's perspective on the excitement surrounding "Click Chemistry" and how it can be used to make

The neuropeptides, Oxytocin and Vasopressin, were isolated and synthesized by Vincent du Vigneaud at Cornell Medical College in 1953, work for which he received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1955.

The determination of serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is currently the most widely used screening test for the evaluation of kidney function. The test is frequently run along with the serum creatinine test,

G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCR) and ion channels are important targets in drug development. Both target classes represent membrane proteins which require convenient and robust cell-based assays for

For one year now,  SiR-Actin and SiR-Tubulin, the second generation of tools to stain actin and tubulin in living cells, have been available on the market - and although it may sound like an overstatement,

In their most recent publication "SiR-Hoechst,

PGE₂ is a potent lipid mediator involved in maintaining homeostasis but also in the promotion of acute inflammation or immune

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

Classically, it was known that CD4⁺ T cells, upon activation and expansion, develop into different T helper cell subsets with different cytokine profiles and distinct effector functions to effect the
