A crosstalk between cancer and immune cells is established during cancers. The immune system is able to fight against tumour cells (see my previous post "Immunosurveillance: Crosstalk between cancer

Histone Methyltransferases (ex. EZH1 and EZH2, and G9a) and their counter-parts (Histone demethylases like JARID1, the KDM4, and the JMJD family) have become promising targets for inhibitor screenings,

In a recent post, I concentrated on the role of HDACs in cancer: Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) and Cancer and mentioned that some HDACs are overexpressed and show very high activities in a number of tumours.

Tumour immune evasion can be mediated by a complex set of interaction involving p53, miR-34 and PDL1. This is the conclusion of a work by Cortez et al. and recently published in JCNI .

The involvement

The treatment of diseases by inducing, enhancing, or surpressing an immune response is referred to as Immunotherapy.

Knowledge about which epitopes are recognized by a blocking antibody can help researchers to develop improved antibodies

Trpytophan (trp) is an important and essential amino acid that has a variety of functions within the cell. In addition to being incorporated into the

In a recent post,  I invited you to discover a cell line provided by BPS Bioscience over-expressing the checkpoint

Cell culture models using 2D substrates have provided important conceptual advances in understanding the biology of cells. However, cells grown on flat 2D surfaces can differ substantially from physiological

Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a family of 6 closely related cytokines, designated IL-17A-F, that play a central role in mediating inflammation, autoimmunity, and

Over the past months, we have released a number of posts introducing inhibitor screening assays intended to investigate immuno checkpoint protein interactions,

There is an increasing demand for new cholesterol-lowering therapies in addition to existing treatments (e.g. targeting statins). The pharmacological inhibition of PCSK9-mediated LDLR degradation
