Microtubules are key components of the cytoskeletal structure of eukaryotic cells.

Statins are HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, well-known  medications for treating Hypercholesterolemia. Simvastatin is a member of this "Statin family" and controls

Autotaxin (ATX) is a secreted lysophospholipase D involved in the release of the lipid mediator LPA. Many research tools have been developed to study ATX-LPA signaling.  In this post, I invite you to discover

Expression systems - removing their contaminants

CHO, E. Coli and Pichia are useful expression systems for drug production. This can be for proteins, enzymes or antibody productions. Research and

In a previous post, I introduced Sekisui Xenotech's Research Biobank, which is based on rejections from liver transplantation as opposed to post-mortem tissues, thus offering a guarantee

Echelon Biosciences are specialized in the development of novel assays and reagents in Lipid research, with the commitment to innovate and provide the best solutions for researchers. They have recently

Developing new therapeutic agents to boost the immune system and avoid the escape of diseased cells from the natural defenses is the common goal of all researchers in Immunotherapy. To greatly reduce time

Recent articles have highlighted the role the STING cell signalling pathway may be playing in drug development, whether via its inhibition to control innate immunity and inflammation (Nature

The first time a cell biologist discovers that there might be a lipid involved in their favourite pathway, it's a bit like finding a wall across the road (just the same situation as when a lipidomist

Hyaluronic acid (also called HA or Hyaluronan) is a glycosaminoglycan with elevated viscosity, enabling tissues (eye, skin, joint and synovial fluid...) to resist to physical and

Our body is made up of trillions of cells grouped together to form tissues and organs. The genes present in the nucleus of every cell tell it when to grow, work, divide and die.

Normally, our cells

In medicine, biotech and pharmacology, drug discovery is the entire process to discover new candidate medications.

The process is long and complex, the budget needed is expansive and the skills
