Immune checkpoint molecules play an important role in T cell functionality after TCR/MHC signaling. In fact, blockade of two B7/CD28 family checkpoint molecules, namely CTLA-4 and PD-1, have already demonstrated

Polyethylene Glycols (aka. PEGs) are biologically inert, non-immunogenic, and hydrophilic molecules. These properties make them very attractive for research and drug discovery applications (ex. Antibody-Drug

Over the past months, we have released a number of posts introducing inhibitor screening assays intended to investigate immuno checkpoint

In this post, I'd like to take a look at the current understanding of tubulin PTMs, that include tyrosination/detyrosination, Δ2-tubulin formation, acetylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, glutamylation,

There is an increasing demand for new cholesterol-lowering therapies in addition to existing treatments (e.g. targeting statins). The pharmacological inhibition of PCSK9-mediated LDLR degradation

The Silicon Rhodamine-like (SiR) technology has significantly contributed to the recent development of DNA and cytoskeletal analysis by live cell imaging.

Extracellular adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) is released by dying and damaged cells, and it acts on many immune

ADCC is a simple but important mechanism for the immune system to target diseased or infected cells. Antibodies bind to specific

Immunotherapy represents a field in Drug Discovery which is quickly developing and leading to significant progress in treatments of a number of diseases, especially cancer. The approach is based on inducing,

The term Autophagy was introduced by Christian de Duve during the Ciba Foundation Symposium on Lysosomes – which was held in London in February 1963. In 1974 he was honoured with

Today, I'd like to give you an overview about methods in actin research with validated R&D products and kits which will allow you to measure binding to actin and effects on the polymerisation dynamics

Protein biochemistry brings together a vast and varied world of methods of protein production, purification and characterization. Once you have successfully achieved the production of your protein in a
