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

The determination of serum blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is currently the most widely used screening test for the evaluation of kidney function. The test is frequently run along with the serum creatinine test,

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

PGE₂ is a potent lipid mediator involved in maintaining homeostasis but also in the promotion of acute inflammation or immune

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 the

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

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 a number of tumours.

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 purpose by genetic,

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

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

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

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) wound around
