miRNA mediates gene expression through HDL particles
A recent study published in Nature Communications is the first to report how a mature microRNA (miR-223) actively controls the gene expression of a cell in which it was not originally transcribed. High
New tools to fight against Pneumococcus
Pneumococcus, or scientifically speaking, Streptococcus pneumoniae, is a pathogen responsible for a number of illnesses, including pneumonia, ear infections, sinus infections, meningitis and bacteremia.
Tumour microenvironment and miRNA biomarkers
In previous posts, we have seen the role of inflammation and glycosylation
Glycosylation studies in the inflammasome
In a previous post on tumour microenvironment (TME) and glycosylation, we indicated that new tools for studies on glycosylation of proteins were being developed. We are happy to announce
Physioxia or Hypoxia: what it's all about
Cell culture under oxygen controlled conditions: an improvement towards more predictive results
Oxygen concentration in tissues is a key factor for cell and organ survival. In normal conditions,
Novel biomarkers in gastric cancer
The word "cancer" groups a series of diseases of different origin and different prognosis, with differentiated molecular mechanisms causing their onset and progression. Hence, discovery of novel biomarkers
Direct access to Biomarker Profiling identification tools
Profiling tools have an increasing interest for identifying new biomarkers. Different tools are available, from classical gene profiling on DNA chips, RT-qPCR arrays, Protein arrays for secretome or transcriptome,
Tumour microenvironment - ameloblastomas
Following our post on tumour microenvironment and glioblastoma, we will focus today on ameloblastomas.
Ameloblastomas are benign tumours that occur in the jawbone, and invade bone.
Biomarkers of micronutrient malnutrition
Unfortunately, and still in the XXIst century, micronutrient (MN) malnutrition is a problem in all countries, in all segments of society. While part of the world starves, another part is obese. And a balanced
Discovery of functional serum biomarkers
Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies, and the leading cause of cancer-related fatality. Current diagnostic practices for common cancers rely heavily on imaging technologies. These methods
