As discussed in previous posts, use of new tools allows the finding of new disease-related biomarkers. Today, we want to put our spotlight on esophageal cancer.

A previous post explained how samples obtained from patients treated with mAbs can show interference with WB & ELISA methods. More rarely, we can also find other interference effects

During the last International Federation of Societies of Cosmetic Chemists (IFSCC) congress (Paris, Oct. 2014), Hajem N. et al (ALES Groupe) have shown that by enhancing MDR activity of fibroblasts

Hyaluronic acid (HA), or hyaluronan, is an ubiquitous, very high molecular mass polysaccharide that has applications

The word "cancer" groups a series of diseases of different origin and different prognosis, with differentiated molecular mechanisms causing their onset and progression. Hence, discovery of novel biomarkers

Assessing gene transcription as an endpoint for determining induction of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters has become the “method of choice” in the FDA’s latest draft Guidance for Industry drug

After you've read this post, I hope that you'll agree that what the title of the post announces is the right assumption. How? Read on!

Following our post on tumour microenvironment and glioblastoma, we will focus today on ameloblastomas.

Ameloblastomas are benign tumours that occur in the jawbone, and invade bone.

To dilute or not to dilute biological samples? And if yes, how much? That's the question!

Following our post on whether samples should be pooled or not when performing studies for

Unfortunately, and still in the XXIst century, micronutrient (MN) malnutrition is a problem in all countries, in all segments of society. While part of the world starves, another part is obese. And a balanced

Use of human samples including peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in drug discovery is critical for increasing the chances of success for a small molecule screen hit. A review based on recent published

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.
