Epigenetics Writers - Readers - Erasers: Targeting Writers in Drug Discovery
Epigenetic modifications target DNA and Histone proteins.
One of the roles of Epigenetics is to drive cellular differentiation from totipotent Stem cells to fully differentiated cell types, by regulating
H3K4me3 Histone Demethylase Fbxl10 Activity Assay
The Histone Demethylase FBXL10 (also known as NDY1, KDM2B, or JHDM1B) has been reported to demethylate histone H3K4me3.  By removing active Methyl Epigenetic marks on the chromatin, this "Epigenetic
Sircol for soluble and insoluble collagen assays!
Measuring soluble collagen in biological samples is a straightforward experiment which can be done with the Sircol soluble collagen assay using Sirius Red dye (Sircol dye) in a convenient manner (we explored
Choose your complement!
The complement system helps the ability of antibodies and phagocytic cells to clear pathogens from an organism. It is part of the innate immune system that is not adaptable and does not change over the
Writing - Erasing - Reading Epigenetics: Targeting Erasers in Drug Discovery
DNA and Histone proteins are targets for epigenetic modifications.
One of the roles of Epigenetics is to drive cellular differentiation from totipotent Stem cells to fully differentiated cell types,
8 new JARID1 - JMJD2 HMT assays
A lot of efforts are made to identify potent and selective inhibitors for the demethylation reactions catalyzed by members of the JMJD2 and JARID1 protein families (1, 2). Both epigenetic eraser enzyme
Epigenetics Writers - Readers - Erasers: Targeting Readers in Drug Discovery
DNA and Histone proteins are targets for epigenetic modifications. While DNA is only methylated, histones can be targets for diverse modifications such as methylation, acetylation, ubiquitination, phosphorylation
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
The TRPV1 Pain Receptor activates T cells
The Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) ion channel family participates in numerous functions of the Nervous System. A recent publication tends to indicate that TRP might also be of interest for therapeutical
Immunotherapy Screening - GITR:GITRL pathway
In previous blogs, I invited you to read about the relevance of the B7-1 : CD28, B7-1 : CTLA4, the BLTA:HVEM, CD47:SIRPα , and the PD-1/PD-L1/PD-L2 pathway for immunotherapy screenings and discussed
3 Reasons to use fresh TLR9 agonists
As part of the innate immune response, Toll-like receptor 9 recognizes unmethylated CpG nucleotide sequences, which are very common in viruses and prokaryotes and more rare in vetebrates. Scientists
