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
Secretome biomarker identification: tech tips for selecting the most suitable tools
In a previous post, I mentioned that the secretome is becoming a very hot topic in the world of proteome analysis, and even a crucial study subject. Today, I'd like go a step further and shed some
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
Focus on the Hypoxia Pathway...
Hypoxia in tumors is closely associated with tumor aggressiveness and resistance to radio- and chemotherapeutic treatment. Therefore, reliable markers for hypoxia represent both valuable diagnostic markers
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,
Adipokines in obesity and glucose homeostasis
Obesity is the abnormal increase in adipose tissue mass. This phenomenon increases the likelyhood of a number of diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, obstructive sleep
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
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
Tumour microenvironment - inflammation and immunity
Following our series of posts on tumour microenvironment (TME) and the role of Cox-2/PGE2 signaling, I'd like today to focus on inflammation and immunity.
TME is a dynamic milieu influenced by numerous
