Specific cytokines & growth factors in... angiogenesis, endothelial cells
Angiogenesis is the growth process of new blood vessels from pre-existing one's. It's a normal physiological process, observed during embryonic development. But it's also a pathological process, essentially
Secretome biomarker identification: tech tips for selecting the most suitable tools
In a previous post, I mentioned that the secretome is becoming a very hot topic in the world of proteome analysis, and even a crucial study subject. Today, I'd like go a step further and shed some
Specific cytokines & growth factors in... inflammation
Inflammation is part of the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. Numerous cytokines are present within inflammatory
