10 most popular antibodies in neuroscience research
Analysis of neuronal cell fates and biological activities sometimes relies on the effective staining of a protein of interest (a.k.a. marker) with a specific primary antibody validated for immuno-assays.
How sample preparation can affect your biomarker studies (II)
In a previous post, we looked at the importance of sample preparation
Montelukast improves learning & memory in aging brain
Montelukast is a marketed drug used for asthma treatment and to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies. It is known to function as a leukotriene receptor antagonist.
Ion Channels and Cancer Immunology
Ions channels are pore-forming membrane proteins that control ion transit across the cell membrane to various stimuli. It was shown that deregulation or dysfunction of channels are clearly linked to many
3 tips for IHC troubleshooting
The sensitivity and specificity of the primary and secondary antibodies used together with the IHC procedure used, are critical to avoid biased results. Several factors can cause false-positive or false-negative
CBR-5884 - a Serine biosynthesis inhibitor for cancer research
Metabolic pathways are upregulated in cancer cells to promote their growth and proliferation. The evidence pointing to the requirement of the amino acid serine in tumorigenesis is overwhelming. Serine
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
