Erythropoietin - active EPO for... hematologists!
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
Hepatic Cellular Models
A wide range of in vitro models are used in preclinical drug testing for the investigation of ADME-Tox (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and oxicity) properties of New Chemical Entities
How to measure Glycosaminoglycans and Proteoglycans?
Glycosaminoglycans (or mucopolysaccharides) are long un-branched polysaccherides which consist of disaccharide repeats. The repeats usually (with the exception of Keratan sulfate) consist of on amino sugar
Live cell imaging in action: Killer T-cells hunt their target

Flow cytometry intracellular staining
Intracellular Flow Cytometry enables the identification and analysis of signaling and functional markers within cells from samples containing heterogeneous cell populations. Many cell types can
IL-1 family quantified simultaneously...at last!
The IL-1 family has long been known as a key player in the effector role of macrophages in innate defence against tumours and infections. It plays an important role in the field of natural / innate immunity
New drug for Sickle Cell Disease targets Leukocytes
Leukocytes adhere to blood vessels as a mechanism to enter tissue where there is inflammation. Inadvertently, they pile up sickle cell red blood cells.
Mutations in the hemoglobin gene can render a person

The influenza season in Europe is over... until next year. Influenza remains one of the most important public healthcare problems, especially in risk groups.
Vive la différence! To pool or not to pool...
In a previous post on whether samples should be pooled or not for proteomic profiling, we discussed this approach, which can be quite cost-wise, while still allowing to see the main biomarkers differentiating
Blood as a cells highway
For years, we already knew that a lot
