Cancer and immune cells crosstalk: immunoediting
Immunoediting of cytokine signals provides another area of pathways which tumours utilise to evade and potentially escape from immunological targeting. This post aims at shedding some light into the Tumour
Which Histone (De)Methyltransferase modulators to choose?
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,
2 assays to assess GEF and GAP activity
In my previous post Small GTPases: Measuring small G protein activation I looked at state-of the-art methods for measuring the activation of small G proteins,
Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) and Alzheimer
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
Versatile measurement of protein binding to microtubules
You suspect your protein binds to microtubules? That it might stabilize or destabilize these filamentous structures? Then this post is here to help you to find a meaningful assay to validate your assumption.
Deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) as pharmaceutical targets
While it is likely that all Ubiquitin-Like proteins (UBLs) will be important for drug discovery because of these associations, Ubiquitin has been the most completely validated for this
Is tumour immune evasion mediated by p53/miR-34/PDL1 interaction?
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
Tubulin polymerisation measurement - made easy!
Recently, I issued a post about a method which allows measuring microtuble binding capabilities of proteins of interest
IQF substrates for true isopeptidase/deubiquitinase activity measurement
Deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) are promising therapeutical targets, especially in oncology (see my previous post dedicated to this topic). Today, I'd like
