Novel biomarkers in gastric cancer
The word "cancer" groups a series of diseases of different origin and different prognosis, with differentiated molecular mechanisms causing their onset and progression. Hence, discovery of novel biomarkers
Direct access to Biomarker Profiling identification tools
Profiling tools have an increasing interest for identifying new biomarkers. Different tools are available, from classical gene profiling on DNA chips, RT-qPCR arrays, Protein arrays for secretome or
Diluting samples for proteomics – biomarker profiling case studies (I)
To dilute or not to dilute biological samples? And if yes, how much? That's the question!
Following our post on whether samples should be pooled or not when performing studies for Biomarker discovery,
Biomarker profiling: Diluting samples case studies (II)
Back to dilution of samples. After our post on whether samples should be diluted or not, let's discuss today about how much they should be diluted.
Case # 1 - ELISA or simplex assays
Most ELISA manufacturers
Discovery of functional serum biomarkers
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies, and the leading cause of cancer-related fatality. Current diagnostic practices for common cancers rely heavily on imaging technologies. These
New biomarkers in periodontal disease
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
E3 Ligases: RING- or HECT-mediated ubiquitination?
A large number of cellular processes are regulated by the reversible conjugation of Ubiquitin (UB) proteins to substrates. UB-related research tools (including E1-, E2 and E3 Ligases) are now commercially
mTOR revisited
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
Differentiate between K48- and K63-specific Ubiquitination
Ubiquitination is a common post translational protein modification that occurs through an isopeptide linkage between the C-terminus of ubiquitin and the ε-amino group of a lysine residue on the target
New Glycan Array - Sweet 17? Sweet 100!
Glycocalyx, literally meaning 'sugar coat', is an extracellular polymeric coating surrounding many prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells that consists of glycoproteins, glycolipids, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans.
Cytokine signature in airway inflammation with arrays
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.
