In a previous post on tumour microenvironment (TME) and glycosylation, we indicated that new tools for studies on glycosylation of proteins were being developed. We are happy to announce that they are

ISG15 ubiquitin-like modifier (ISG15) functions intracellularly as a Ubiquitin homologue and a cytokine. ISG15 induces production of IFN-gamma and augments NK/lymphokine-activated killer cell proliferation

As discussed in previous posts, use of new tools allows the finding of new disease-related biomarkers. Today, we want to put our spotlight on esophageal cancer.

A recent alliance between Quansys Biosciences

A previous post explained how samples obtained from patients treated with mAbs can show interference with WB & ELISA methods. More rarely, we can also find other interference effects caused by different

Hyaluronic acid (HA), or hyaluronan, is an ubiquitous, very high molecular mass polysaccharide that has applications in a variety

Cell culture under oxygen controlled conditions: an improvement towards more predictive results

Oxygen concentration in tissues is a key factor for cell and organ survival. In normal conditions, partial

Adenoassociated viruses (AAV) are small (20-30 nm), ssDNA, non-enveloped and replication-defective viruses that infect human and other primate species, but which, up to now, have not been reported as being

The word "cancer" groups a series of diseases of different origin and different prognosis, with differentiated molecular mechanisms causing their onset and progression. Hence, discovery of novel biomarkers

Profiling tools have an increasing interest for identifying new biomarkers. Different tools are available, from classical gene profiling on DNA chips, RT-qPCR arrays, Protein arrays for secretome or

Lentiviruses are robust tools for cell line engineering and development. As opposed to models that only infect dividing cells, lentiviral vectors are ideal for long term gene delivery into dividing and

Neurotrophins are important biomarkers in Neurobiology, including stem cell development to neural lineages. BDNF and NGF are the ones being studied in most cases. However, it has been found that neurotrophins

Free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules that are generated by normal cellular processes, environmental stress, and UV irradiation. ROS react with cellular components,
