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

Extracellular vesicles in general, or exosomes in particular, are becoming a hot topic for research, especially in cancer. They seem to have different roles in tumour progression or can

Adenovirus (AV) are non-enveloped and non-integrative icosaedral viruses. Recombinant AV (genetically modified with respect to the wild-type in order to lose their capacity of replication) are widely used

Whatever the research domain (oncology, cardiovascular diseases, Diabetis/obesity, inflammation, autoimmune disorders...), phosphorylation study is essential when looking for activation of cell signaling

Stimulated emission depletion (STED) microscopy is an accurate process allowing super resolutive cell imaging. STED microscopy overcomes the limits of standard confocal laser scanning microscopes. In 2014,

The nucleosome core particle is the fundamental structural unit of the eukaryotic genome. It consists of a histone octamer composed of two H2A-H2B dimers and a H3-H4 tetramer wrapped by ~146 base pairs

Flow cytometry, even if somehow a "classical" technique, is still very valuable in Immunology. Uses of flow cytometry vary from cell identification & sorting based on membrane molecules, characterisation

Fibrinogen is the main protein of the blood coagulation system. It consists of two identical subunits that contain three polypeptide chains: alpha, beta and gamma. The process of blood coagulation results

Intracellular Flow Cytometry enables the identification and analysis of signaling and functional markers within cells from samples containing heterogeneous cell populations. Many cell types can be thus

In our series of posts on different signaling pathways, let's take a look today on Notch and its relevance in Acute Renal Failure (ARF).

A recent paper by Gupta

The influenza season in Europe is over... until next year. Influenza remains one of the most important public healthcare problems, especially in risk groups.
