Venomous toxin ion channel modulators
Ion channels are proteins with pore-forming abilities. Their selective capabilities to let ions cross the cell membrane involves them in crucial cellular functions (controlling membrance potential, the
Cas9 mRNA optimized for genome editing
CRISPR/Cas9 is relatively simple to
Pharma/biotech industry outsourcing trends in Biomarker studies
A recent article by E. Langer
How to easily obtain a highly purified untagged recombinant protein
Isolation of highly purified untagged proteins is crucial in today's R&D programs. Up to now, recombinant protein production approaches were often based on the use of "tags" to make protein purification
Ion channel over expressing cell lines for inhibitory screening
In a recent post on Venomous toxin ion channel modulators, we looked at toxin derived peptides to manipulate a wide variety of ion channels. These toxins can be used as tools to characterize
How to modulate ion channels
Ion channels play an important role in perception and transmission of pain sensations. Furthermore, dysfunctions of certain ion channels are involved in neuronal disorders, such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's
STAT3 signaling effects on IL-15 derived dendritic cells
The role of STAT3 signaling in the activity of dendritic cells (DC) has been recently revealed in a publication by Okada et al.
Which endotoxin testing assay in bioproduction?
Pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device industries apply restrictive quality systems in their bio-production processes. Among the numerous parameters controlled daily by scientists, I have selected
Angiogenin favours liver cancer (HCC) growth & expansion
A publication earlier this year by Bárcena et al. shows that angiogenin plays a crucial role in the onset and development of liver
Neuromuscular diseases: A new application for Statins?
Statins are HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, well-known medications for treating Hypercholesterolemia. Simvastatin is a member of this "Statin family" and controls
