New hope for Ras inhibitors
Ras belongs to the family of small G-proteins and plays an important role in several signal transduction pathways involved in normal cell growth and differentiation. Over 30 years ago three isoforms of
Immunotherapy - BLTA:HVEM, CD47:SIRPα in drug discovery
The treatment of diseases by inducing, enhancing, or surpressing an immune response is referred to as Immunotherapy. T-cell activation and inactivation requires the coordination of various co-inhibitory
Proteasome inhibitor approved by FDA for Myeloma retreatment
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Velcade (Bortezomib) for the retreatment of adult patients with Multiple Myeloma who had previously responded to Velcade therapy and relapsed at
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
Tumour microenvironment - glycosylation
Cancer research is increasingly focusing on the tumour microenvironment (TME). Several studies have shown that tumours depend on external signals for maintenance and expansion. It is therefore needed to
How to probe motor-domains of kinesins?
In the past, molecular motor proteins like kinesins have been investigated with macromolecular approaches. Recent research on kinesins has been focused on resolving how kinesin is regulated by intramolecular
Activation of RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42 - New G-LISA Trial kits
Small GTP-binding proteins such as RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42 are involved in regulating cell signalling pathways and impact a wide range of cellular processes, functions, and morphology. They bind and hydrolyze
2 new Actin and Tubulin live cell imaging stains - without transfection!
Cytoskeletal live cell imaging is extremely powerful when investigating cellular processes such as cytokinesis, motility and organelle transport and organization. The current experimental
Measure antioxidative capacities of your samples
Free radicals and Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules generated by normal cellular processes, environmental stress, and UV irradiation. ROS react with numerous cellular components
Where can I find the best PARPs?
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a family of proteins which catalyze the NAD-dependent addition of Poly ADP-ribose (PAR) chains to nuclear proteins. PARPs play key signaling roles in apoptosis,
