Antibiotics and microbial metabolites - revisited
What are metabolites?
Microorganisms live in a world of chemical signals. They use small molecular weight compounds, known as metabolites, to regulate their own growth and development, to encourage other
6 active compounds to rediscover rare bacterial metabolites
Microbial metabolites are a source of unequalled elements for in vitro assays. Sometimes  neglected, these active molecules naturally provide a large spectrum of structural diversity for Drug discovery
Microbial K-Ras Inhibitors
Small molecules known to modulate biological activies of the K-Ras oncogene are predominantly of synthetic origin (ex. Salirasib). Nevetheless, various publications have recently demontrated the biological
3 solutions for optimal cryopreservation of mammalian cells and tissues
Cell viability after cryopreservation is a sensitive subject as it may be dependent on the ability of mammalian cells to face the stress generated by the freeze / thaw cycles. Improving cell viability
Why replace fluorescent markers with lanthanide nanoparticles to improve detection?
According to the WHO (World Health Organization), early diagnosis of diseases is one of the key factors in the world to save lives and reduce the cost of treatment. Faced with these recommendations, in
