E3 Ligases: RING- or HECT-mediated ubiquitination?
A large number of cellular processes are regulated by the reversible conjugation of Ubiquitin (UB) proteins to substrates. UB-related research tools (including E1-, E2 and E3 Ligases) are now commercially
mTOR revisited
The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway is an intracellular signaling pathway important in regulating the cell cycle. It is directly related to cellular quiescence, proliferation, cancer, and
IL-1 family quantified simultaneously...at last!
The IL-1 family has long been known as a key player in the effector role of macrophages in innate defence against tumours and infections. It plays an important role in the field of natural / innate immunity
Vive la différence! To pool or not to pool...
In a previous post on whether samples should be pooled or not for proteomic profiling, we discussed this approach, which can be quite cost-wise, while still allowing to see the main biomarkers differentiating
New Glycan Array - Sweet 17? Sweet 100!
Glycocalyx, literally meaning 'sugar coat', is an extracellular polymeric coating surrounding many prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells that consists of glycoproteins, glycolipids, proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans.
Discovery of new biomarkers... 3 tips regarding controls
One of the recurrent questions that we get at the Biomarkers team at tebu-bio is on what controls should be included in a given experiment. Either if the experiment is done by researchers in their lab,
miRNAs: potent biomarkers in cancer research?
A recent paper by Kojima, M. et al. has found
Interferons - the first line of defense against viral infections
Interferons (IFNs) are low molecular weight proteins that belong to the class of glycoproteins known as cytokines. IFNs are part of the non-specific immune system and are an important first line of defense
How sample preparation can affect your biomarker studies (I)
In previous posts, we have discussed about whether samples should be pooled, how much (and if) they should be diluted, and how biologicals can affect the final results...and the biomarkers that you find.
Oxygen and miRNAs in Cosmetology and Dermatology
A recent review by Nadim et al. casts some light on a Cosmetology and Dermatology, where circulating biomarkers, though studied to a certain extent so far, are yet unknown for many skin models. (1)Â
