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.

Actin dynamics - i.e. polymerization of G-actin to form filamentous F-actin or de-polymerization of F-actin - is a fundamental

In previous posts,  I invited you to look at versatile methods to

• Visualize actin: Focus on Actin staining and visualization
• Measure actin binding: Focus on Actin – Detection of actin binding and

Recently, a we published a series of posts focusing on research tools aiming at studying actin through biochemical assays and in fixed and living cells

In this post, I invite you to discover some state-of-the art methods to measure the activation of the most prominent small G proteins. In future posts, we'll

In my previous post Small GTPases: Measuring small G protein activation I looked at state-of the-art methods for measuring the activation of small G proteins, such as RhoA, Rac1, Cdc42, and the proto-oncogen

You suspect your protein binds to microtubules? That it might stabilize or destabilize these filamentous structures? Then this post is here to help you to find a meaningful assay to validate your assumption.

In a previous post, we looked at the importance of sample preparation methods depending on the biomarker being studied (e.g. MMPs, cytokines). Today, let's focus on cell / tissue lysates.

Tip #1

Recently, I issued a post about a method which allows measuring microtuble binding capabilities of proteins of interest. Today, I invite you to look at methods for

The unprecedented increase in antibiotic-resistant pathogens and lack of

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are reactive molecules and free radicals derived from molecular oxygen involved in cellular homeostasis. An excess of ROS production (e.g. exposure to environmental stress
