Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptors (PPARs) are ligand-activated transcription factors of the Nuclear Receptor superfamily. PPAR active compounds are of significant interest in multiple pharmaceutical

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

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

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

G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCR) and ion channels are important targets in drug development. Both target classes represent membrane proteins which require convenient and robust cell-based assays for

For one year now,  SiR-Actin and SiR-Tubulin, the second generation of tools to stain actin and tubulin in

In this post, I invite you to discover some state-of-the art methods to measure the activation of the most prominent small G proteins.

Histon Deactetylases (HDACs) are overexpressed and show very high activities in a number of tumor cells. Expression of HDAC1, -5, and -7 can be even

Which roles do IDO and TDO play in Immunotherapy? Immune evasion is one of the identifying hallmarks of cancer and researchers are investigating the complex mechanisms that enable cancer

A recent publication by Torres et al. has found that B7-1/CD80, EG-VEGF/PK1, IL-29, NRG1-beta1/HR
