Antibody pairs - the rebirth of a classic
Antibody pairs have been used for years to detect biomarkers in biological samples. They are a convenient and price-wise alternative to ready-to-use ELISAs, especially when they are used on a routine basis
New tools to fight against Pneumococcus
Pneumococcus, or scientifically speaking, Streptococcus pneumoniae, is a pathogen responsible for a number of illnesses, including pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, meningitis and bacteremia.
Sex and the City-okines
The trend lately is to add "omics" to most of the research projects. Genomics, Proteomics, Metabolomics...there is no end. The latest trend seems to do "sexomics" studies. Meaning to study the differences
Novel biomarkers for esophageal cancer
As discussed in previous posts, use of new tools allows the finding of new disease-related biomarkers. Today, we want to put our spotlight on esophageal cancer.

Tumour microenvironment - ameloblastomas
Following our post on tumour microenvironment and glioblastoma, we will focus today on ameloblastomas.
Ameloblastomas are benign tumours that occur in the jawbone, and invade bone. This type of tumour
Biomarkers of micronutrient malnutrition
Unfortunately, and still in the XXIst century, micronutrient (MN) malnutrition is a problem in all countries, in all segments of society. While part of the world starves, another part is obese. And a balanced
IL-1 family quantified simultaneously...at last!
The IL-1 family has long been known as a key player in the effector role of macrophages in innate defence against tumours and infections. It plays an important role in the field of natural / innate immunity
Invasion of influenza A
The influenza season in Europe is over... until next year. Influenza remains one of the most important public healthcare problems, especially in risk groups.
More data with chemiluminescence imaging platform
Depending on the phase where your biomarker-related research program is, imaging of protein or antibody arrays has different requirements. For R&D purposes
Keep cool... corticosterone and stress
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.
Pharma/biotech industry outsourcing trends in Biomarker studies
A recent article by E. Langer (E. Langer, “Another In-House Operation Gets Outsourced” (2015) Pharmaceutical Technology 39 (6)) describes the growing
STAT3 signaling effects on IL-15 derived dendritic cells
The role of STAT3 signaling in the activity of dendritic cells (DC) has been recently revealed in a publication by Okada et al.
