EPO has a reputation with many non-scientists through bad press in the cycling/racing environment. From a researcher's point of view, Erythropoietin or EPO is a 34 KDa glycoprotein known as the main

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

In a recent video posted on "Cambridge University's YouTube channel", Professor Gillian Griffiths and co-workers prove how the Life Science Community can benefit from modern and innovative cell 

The transition from non-invasive phenotype to invasive phenotype of tumor cells marks the switch from a benign tumor to a more malignant form of cancer. Understanding the mechanisms underlying this hallmark

Methylation of DNA plays a crucial role in transcriptional regulation, imprinting, and chromatin

Lipodystrophies are disorders characterized by complete or selective loss of adipose tissue from various regions of the body. They might lead to severe metabolic disorders. The development of reliable

Nucleosomes are basis units of DNA packaging in eukaryotic cells. A core particle (mono-nucleosome) consists of a segment of DNA called core DNA (147 bp in length)

Acid-Sensing Ion Channels (ASICs) are neuronal voltage-insensitive cationic channels which are activated by extracellular protons. They belong to the ENaC/Deg superfamily of ion channels. Up to now 6

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

We have been closely following the interesting case of the discontinuation of tobacco acid pyrophosphatase (TAP) and the efforts of the world's RNA biologists to find a suitable alternative. Our previous

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

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 used as a cancer
