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

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

Cytokines and growth factors that are produced by or have an effect on adipocytes and related peptide neuro-transmitters are central players in hunger vs. satiety balance and in eating behavior (1).

Leading on from my previous posts (see below) exploring microRNA detection, overexpression and inhibition, this time, let's spend a moment on target detection.

miTarget databases

There are many online

Well, in the previous posts leading up to this final one in the series, we looked at microRNA detection, overexpression, inhibition, and target detection. I'd like to finish by going over miRNA profiling.

Following a post on tools for discovery of secretome biomarkers in biological samples, a recent publication by Torres et al. depicts how some of these tools (i.e. antibody arrays) can be used to find new

In vivo monitoring of tumor growth and metastasis provides a powerful means for studying cancer properties and development of effective therapies. Mouse models created with tumor xenografts, resulting

A recent study published in Nature Communications is the first to report how a mature microRNA (miR-223) actively controls the gene expression of a cell in which it was not originally transcribed. High

In previous posts, we have seen the role of inflammation and glycosylation in the tumour microenvironment (TME). All these are mainly factors at the protein level causing the tumour cells to evade the

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a common vertebrate model organism in scientific research for studying vertebrate development, gene function, and regenerative abilities. Interestingly, this convenient

Research is never easy. That's why we either like doing it or supporting it.

That said, it's easier for some researchers than others. If you are working on human, mouse or even rat models, you have quite
