Hematology is the study of blood, blood-forming organs and blood diseases. The formation of blood cells is referred to as hematopoiesis. All cellular components of the blood are derived from hematopoietic

Apoptosis is the process of programmed cell death. Upon induction of apoptotic processes, cell undergo characteristic morphological changes (blebbing, cell shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, chromatin condensation,

Nucleosomes are core particles involved in DNA packaging in eukaryotic cells. They affect gene expression levels  by regulating access of DNA to transcription factors and DNA binding proteins. Nucleosome

Recombinant Histone proteins are popular research solutions in Drug discovery and Epigenetics studies. They can be used as in vitro positive controls in the analysis of post-translational Histone

As cell biologist, when working in labs I have in the past witnessed several “X-files” in a flask of cells along my way: all cells of an established cell line are supposed to have the same genetic background

Angiogenesis is the growth process of new blood vessels from pre-existing one's. It's a normal physiological process, observed during embryonic development. But it's also a pathological process, essentially

Following on from my previous post  in which I started to introduce a series of techniques to investigate the impact of miRNA expression on cell fate,

In this third post of the miRNA-related series, let's take a look at miRNA overexpression.

miRNA mimics

Short RNAs are very prone to enzymatic degradation. Novel chemical technologies now

Following on in our series on microRNAs (miRNA - Keys to open cell biology’s secret chamber)

Leading on from my previous posts (see below) exploring microRNA detection, overexpression and inhibition, this time, let's spend a moment on target detection.

The cellular and physiological effects resulting from hypoxia-dependent networks have been clearly shown to impact a number of human pathological states, including ischemic disease, diabetes, pulmonary

In the past, molecular motor proteins like kinesins have been investigated with macromolecular approaches. Recent research on kinesins has been focused on resolving how kinesin is regulated by intramolecular
