Back to dilution of samples. After our post on whether samples should be diluted or not, let's discuss today about how much they should be diluted.

Case # 1 - ELISA or simplex

The term Autophagy was introduced by Christian de Duve during the Ciba Foundation Symposium on Lysosomes - which was held in London in February 1963. In 1974 he was honoured with

Cell death can be caused by external factors such as infection or trauma - a process which is call necrosis. On the other hand, cell death can be mediated by intracellular programs - in this cases we talk

ELISAs are widely used in biomarker-related studies, especially when a high number of samples is involved, and only a few biomarkers need to be quantified. That said, incubations can be somehow cumbersome,

In a previous post, I discussed Caspases as pharmaceutical targets - how to screen

Epothilone B is a bioactive microtubule-stabilizing small molecule. This blood-brain barrier permeable coumpound belongs to the most popular potent cytoskeletal modeling molecules for in vitro

Originally identified as an active molecule against the Borrelia species, Borrelidin has since been described as a selective inhibitor of threonyl tRNA synthetase (ThrRS). More recent research

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated in 2008 that 1.4 billion adults worldwide were overweight and of these 500 million were obese with risks for developing type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardio-vascular

Chronic pain of varying types including inflammatory pain, cancer pain and neuropathic pain is an increasing health problem for which there are inadequate therapeutic options.
Many new targets for

Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is important in many biological processes such as wound repair, tissue hydration and inflammation. HA is also a potential biomarker for diseases such as osteoarthritis, liver cirrhosis

Gene expression is regulated by different mechanisms. One of them is the binding of

Corticosterone is a glucocorticoid secreted by the cortex of the adrenal gland in response to stimulation by adrenocorticotropic hormone. Corticosterone is a major indicator of stress in non-human mammals.
