Trpytophan (trp) is an important and essential amino acid that has a variety of functions within the cell. In addition to being incorporated

Stem Cells: a great tool for biomedical research! From the embryo at a very early stage of development, stem cells have two important capabilities: to multiply to infinity by simple division and

Hyaluronic acid (Hyaluronan) belongs to the group of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), but unlike other GAGs like Heparan sulfate

For humans, IFN-α consists of a group of proteins that are greater than 85% homologous by amino acid sequence.  A lot of individual human IFN-α subtypes have been identified and many have

Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a family of 6 closely related cytokines, designated IL-17A-F, that play a central role in mediating inflammation, autoimmunity,

The monitoring of ECM components during experimental approaches requires robust and user-friendly in vitro assays. In the past experimental methods (e.g. soluble collagen measurement) were laborious

Over the past months, we have released a number of posts introducing inhibitor screening assays intended to investigate immuno checkpoint

In this post, I'd like to take a look at the current understanding of tubulin PTMs, that include tyrosination/detyrosination, Δ2-tubulin formation, acetylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, glutamylation,

Multicolour fluorochrome reagents have spurred researchers' capacity to analyze cell populations and to isolate cell subsets by flow cytometry. In this post, let's take at look at the advantages of 5 optimized

There is an increasing demand for new cholesterol-lowering therapies in addition to existing treatments (e.g. targeting statins). The pharmacological inhibition of PCSK9-mediated LDLR degradation

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

Extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) is released by dying and damaged cells, and it acts on many immune
