Actin can be stained in living and fixed cells to determine and follow the structure and function of the cytoskeleton. The actin cytoskeleton is a very dynamic and labile structure in the living cell,

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

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

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

Depending on the phase where your biomarker-related research program is, imaging of protein or antibody arrays has different requirements. For R&D purposes

Actin serves as one of the major cytoskeleton structures. It is a crucial component involved in a plethora of processes in cell biology:  stabilizing the cell shape, cell movements (e.g. cell migration)

Actin can exist in two forms: Globular subunit (G-actin) and Filamentous polymer (F-actin). Both forms of actin interact with a plethora of proteins in the cell. To date there are over 50 distinct classes

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

A recent article by E. Langer (E. Langer, “Another In-House Operation Gets Outsourced” (2015) Pharmaceutical Technology 39 (6)) describes the growing

The role of STAT3 signaling in the activity of dendritic cells (DC) has been recently revealed in a publication by Okada et al.
