In previous blogs, I invited you to join me in exploring the relevance of the following pathways:

A wide range of in vitro models are used in preclinical drug testing for the investigation of ADME-Tox (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and oxicity) properties of New Chemical

The term Autophagy was introduced by Christian de Duve during the Ciba Foundation Symposium on Lysosomes - which was held in London in February 1963. In 1974 he was honoured with

Actin and Tubulin, as the major cytoskeleton structures, are crucial components of a

Caspases (cysteine-dependent aspartate-directed proteases) belong to the family of cysteine proteases and are involved in networks controlling cell death (apoptosis and necrosis) and

A lot of compounds are known and available to modulate (inhibit or activate) the most prominent mode of programmed cell death - Apoptosis. In a recent post, I summarized

Cell death can be caused by external factors such as infection or trauma - a process which is call necrosis. On the other hand, cell death can be mediated by intracellular programs - in this cases we talk

In a previous post, I discussed Caspases as pharmaceutical targets - how to screen

The transition from non-invasive phenotype to invasive phenotype of tumor cells marks the switch from a benign tumor to a more malignant form of cancer. Understanding the mechanisms underlying this hallmark

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

Ubiquitination is a common post translational protein modification that occurs through an isopeptide linkage between the C-terminus of ubiquitin and the ε-amino group of a lysine residue on the target
