Profiling of secretome biomarkers - pancreatic cancer
Following a post on tools for discovery of secretome biomarkers in biological samples, a recent publication by Torres et al. depicts how some of these tools (i.e. antibody arrays) can be used to find new
Tips for Optimizing Cell Culture Conditions with Hydrogels
In a previous post on Cellular Matrices for Translational Research, I introduced HyStem hydrogels. In order to engineer a custom culture system with HyStem, simple pilot studies or optimization
Tumour microenvironment - glioblastoma
Factors released by tumour cells can have an impact on the outcome of cancer in a patient, and they can be used as diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers. A deeper study on the tumour microenviroment (TME)
Useful tip for better zebrafish whole-mount IHC staining
The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is a common vertebrate model organism in scientific research for studying vertebrate development, gene function, and regenerative abilities. Interestingly, this convenient
Antibody arrays: a matter of species
Research is never easy. That's why we either like doing it or supporting it.
That said, it's easier for some researchers than others. If you are working on human, mouse or even rat models, you have quite
6 Tips for a successful ELISA
ELISA are immunoassays widely used in biomarker detection and validation. They have been used in research and clinical settings for more than 40 years, and they allow to quantify, in a simple way, thousands
Glycosylation studies in the inflammasome
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
Novel biomarkers in gastric cancer
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
Direct access to Biomarker Profiling identification tools
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
Diluting samples for proteomics – biomarker profiling case studies (I)
To dilute or not to dilute biological samples? And if yes, how much? That's the question!
Following our post on whether samples should be pooled or not when performing studies for Biomarker discovery,
Biomarker profiling: Diluting samples case studies (II)
Back to dilution of samples. After our post on whether samples should be diluted or not, let's discuss today about how much they should be diluted.
Case # 1 - ELISA or simplex assays
Most ELISA manufacturers
