Focus on the AKT cell signaling pathway...
AKT (Protein Kinase B or PKB), is a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase with known key involvement in glucose metabolism, apoptosis, cell proliferation, transcription and cell migration.
Enhance phospho-protein identification and recovery for Western blot
Protein phosphorylation analysis is more and more used for cell signaling studies. This post-translational modification regulates the function of numerous proteins in both physiological and disease-related
Focus on 6 cytokine growth factors for cell culture!
Cytokines and growth factors are signaling molecules that control the activities of cells through intercellular communication. Numerous families of diverse molecules are categorized as cytokines and/or
Main factors for different cell types...
In my previous post, we focused on 6 cytokine growth factors for cell culture. This time, we will try to find the best factor for each main cell type.
1 simple way to rapidly quantify Collagen: Sircol Collagen Assay
Collagen is a structural protein expressed in mammalian tissues (ex. skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilages, blood vessels...). Together with Elastin and Keratin, Collagen fibres give connective
Proteome, secretome, kinome… What’s it all about?
Proteome is referenced as the result of expression of the whole genome. With the recent developments of genomics, one could consider that this analysis is enough to decipher any biological mechanism...
How to select Hyaluronic Acid (HA) quantitative tests?
Hyaluronic acid (also called HA or Hyaluronan) is a glycosaminoglycan with unique characteristics. HA possesses elevated viscosity, enabling tissues (eye, skin, joint and synovial fluid...) to resist
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
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
