Periodontitis, also generally called gum disease or periodontal disease, begins with bacterial growth in the mouth and may end, if not properly treated, with tooth loss due to destruction of the tissue

The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway is an intracellular signaling pathway important in regulating the cell cycle. It is directly related to cellular quiescence, proliferation, cancer, and

Glycocalyx, literally meaning 'sugar coat', is an extracellular polymeric coating surrounding many prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells that consists of glycoproteins, glycolipids, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans.

Chronic Mucosal Inflammation is the hallmark of common airway diseases (ex.  Allergic Rhinitis and asthma). Lipoxin B₄(LXB₄) is an endogenous mucosal protective mediator decreasing such diseases.

We have been closely following the interesting case of the discontinuation of tobacco acid pyrophosphatase (TAP) and the efforts of the world's RNA biologists to find a suitable alternative. Our previous

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,

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

The Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) are an important family of cell-surface receptors transmitting extracellular stimuli (ex. NGF, PDGF, FGF, EGF, Insulin...) into intracellular protein-tyrosine kinase

For about 5 years now, there has been a renewed interest for mRNA molecules and their numerous applications. Mature mRNAs can be transfected into cells (ex. in mammalian cells) for various purposes

Early in 2015, researchers of The University of Queensland Diamantina Institute (Australia) have shown a very sensible approach to the discovery of new biomarkers associated to transition from non-metastatic

Stem Cells: a great tool for biomedical research! From the embryo at a very early stage of development, stem cells have two important capabilities: to multiply to infinity by simple division and to give
