Focus on the JAK-STAT pathway...
The Janus kinase (JAK) / Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT) pathway a key regulator of cellular proliferation, differentiation, migration, apoptosis and survival. Numerous cytokines,
Specific cytokines & growth factors in... angiogenesis, endothelial cells
Angiogenesis is the growth process of new blood vessels from pre-existing one's. It's a normal physiological process, observed during embryonic development. But it's also a pathological process, essentially
Specific cytokines & growth factors in... inflammation
Inflammation is part of the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants. Numerous cytokines are present within inflammatory
Specific cytokines & growth factors in... neurobiology!
Neurobiology is the study of cells of the nervous system and their organization into functional circuits that process information and mediate behavior.
Neurotrophic factors
Neurotrophic factors are
Specific cytokines & growth factors in... hematology!
Hematology is the study of blood, blood-forming organs and blood diseases. The formation of blood cells is referred to as hematopoiesis. All cellular components of the blood are derived from hematopoietic
Specific cytokines & growth factors in... apoptosis!
Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death. Upon induction of apoptotic processes, cell undergo characteristic morphological changes (blebbing, cell shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, chromatin condensation,
Cytokines and growth factors in Bone biology
Bones are rigid organs that constitute part of the endoskeleton of vertebrates. They support and protect the various organs of the body, produce red and white blood cells and store
microRNAs: Keys to open cell biology’s secret chamber
As cell biologist, when working in labs I have in the past witnessed several “X-files” in a flask of cells along my way: all cells of an established cell line are supposed to have the same genetic background
Cytokines and growth factors in Angiogenesis
Angiogenesis is the growth process of new blood vessels from pre-existing one's. It's a normal physiological process, observed during embryonic development. But it's also a pathological process, essentially
microRNAs: Finding the effector - miRNA detection
Following on from my previous post in which I started to introduce a series of techniques to investigate the impact of miRNA expression on cell fate, let's take a look at the first one: miRNA detection
microRNAs: Push and observe - miRNA overexpression
In this third post of the miRNA-related series, let's take a look at miRNA overexpression.
miRNA mimics
Short RNAs are very prone to enzymatic degradation. Novel chemical technologies now allow RNA stabilization
microRNAs: Inhibiting the inhibitors - Antagomirs
Following on in our series on microRNAs (miRNA - Keys to open cell biology’s secret chamber) , in this post, we'll be taking a look at Antagomirs (which are also called anti-miRs or blockmirs). These
