The influenza season in Europe is over... until next year. Influenza remains one of the most important public healthcare problems, especially in risk groups.

Corticosterone is a glucocorticoid secreted by the cortex of the adrenal gland in response to stimulation by adrenocorticotropic hormone. Corticosterone is a major indicator of stress in non-human mammals.

In a recent post on  Venomous toxin ion channel modulators, we looked at toxin derived peptides to manipulate a wide variety of ion channels. These toxins can be used as tools to characterize

Histon Deactetylases (HDACs) are overexpressed and show very high activities in a number of tumor cells. Expression of HDAC1, -5, and -7 can be even

Which roles do IDO and TDO play in Immunotherapy? Immune evasion is one of the identifying hallmarks of cancer and researchers are investigating the complex mechanisms that enable cancer

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 and

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
