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
Specific cytokines & growth factors in... neurobiology!
Neurobiology is the study of cells of the nervous system and their organization into functional circuits that process information and mediate behavior.
Neurotrophic factors
Specific cytokines & growth factors in... hematology!
Hematology is the study of blood, blood-forming organs and blood diseases. The formation of blood cells is referred to as hematopoiesis. All cellular components of the blood are derived from hematopoietic
Specific cytokines & growth factors in... apoptosis!
Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death. Upon induction of apoptotic processes, cell undergo characteristic morphological changes (blebbing, cell shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, chromatin condensation,
Cytokines and growth factors in Bone biology
Bones are rigid organs that constitute part of the endoskeleton of vertebrates. They support and protect the various organs of the body, produce red and white blood cells and store minerals.
Cytokines and growth factors in Angiogenesis
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
Growth factors in cartilage biology and osteoarthritis
Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue which can rapidly grow and which is specialized to absorb and resist compression. The perichondrium, a vascularized layer, surrounds the tissue which does not
Genetically encoded fluorescent biosensors for live cell discovery
In drug discovery screening campaigns as well as in fundamental research activities, cellular parameters have to be measured and monitored in living cells regularly. Often fluorescent dyes are used to
cAMP signals visualized in live human pancreatic primary cells
In a recent publication, researchers from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine (USA) describe that Serotonin released by human beta cell inhibits glucagon secretion by alpha cells. They demonstrated
Biomolecule conjugation - how to biotinylate with reproducible results?
Biomolecule conjugation is critical to many applications such as bead-based assays, ELISA and chromatography by affinity. Unfortunately the classical methods are known to be tedious and with low
Improve MS-based biomarker determination with immunocapture
During the past decade, mass spectrometry, notably LC/MS, has become a major approach to identify and quantify proteins in patient samples. It includes analysis before treatments to find the proper biomarkers
Optogenetic tools: easily control cAMP production in cells with Light
Non-invasive manipulations of intracellular processes have recently appeared as an emerging research field. Experts in the development of biosensors for live cell discovery, Montana Molecular
