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

PGE₂

Classically, it was known that CD4⁺ T cells, upon activation and expansion, develop into different T helper cell subsets with different cytokine profiles and distinct effector functions to effect

Immunoediting of cytokine signals provides another area of pathways which tumours utilise to evade and potentially escape from immunological targeting. This post aims at shedding some light into the Tumour

In a recent post, I concentrated on the role of HDACs in cancer: Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) and Cancer and mentioned that some HDACs are overexpressed and show very high activities in

While it is likely that all Ubiquitin-Like proteins (UBLs) will be important for drug discovery because of these associations, Ubiquitin has been the most completely validated for this

Deubiquitylating enzymes (DUBs) are promising therapeutical targets, especially in oncology (see my previous post dedicated to this topic). Today, I'd like

Antibody-based techniques are widely used in Life Science laboratories. Antibody purification is often required to raise purity yield of antibody production batches or to reach publication-grade data.

Knowledge about which epitopes are recognized by a blocking antibody can help researchers to develop

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)

For humans, IFN-α consists of a group of proteins that are greater than 85% homologous by amino acid sequence.  A lot of individual human IFN-α subtypes have been identified and many have

The unprecedented increase in antibiotic-resistant pathogens
