Recently, I issued a post about a method which allows measuring microtuble binding capabilities of proteins of interest

Three papers on the role of the TGF-beta pathway in different cancers have recently been published.

It was already known that this pathway is involved in processes such as cell growth,

The Wnt cell signalling pathway is a high-potential therapeutical target in cancer research. It's deeply linked to cellular fate through modulating cell proliferation, mobility, interaction, and polarity.

Early in 2015, researchers of The University of Queensland Diamantina Institute (Australia) have shown a very sensible approach to the discovery of new biomarkers associated to transition from non-metastatic

The sensitivity and specificity of the primary and secondary antibodies used together with the IHC procedure used, are critical to avoid biased results. Several factors can cause false-positive or false-negative

Trpytophan (trp) is an important and essential amino acid that has a variety of functions within the cell. In addition to being incorporated

Stem Cells: a great tool for biomedical research! From the embryo at a very early stage of development, stem cells have two important capabilities: to multiply to infinity by simple division and

Hyaluronic acid (Hyaluronan) belongs to the group of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), but unlike other GAGs like Heparan sulfate

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

Interleukin-17 (IL-17) is a family of 6 closely related cytokines, designated IL-17A-F, that play a central role in mediating inflammation, autoimmunity,

The monitoring of ECM components during experimental approaches requires robust and user-friendly in vitro assays. In the past experimental methods (e.g. soluble collagen measurement) were laborious
