Ions channels are pore-forming membrane proteins that control ion transit across the cell membrane to various stimuli. It was shown that deregulation or dysfunction of channels are clearly linked to many

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

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 data.

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

Metabolic pathways are upregulated in cancer cells to promote their growth and proliferation. The evidence pointing to the requirement of the amino acid serine in tumorigenesis is overwhelming. Serine

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)

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

The main challenge when choosing a transfection reagent is that we don't know how it will work with our own cell type of interest. It is also time consuming to find the optimal conditions. Well, here's the solution:

Singlet Oxygen (1O2) fluorescent detection in living cells was limited by the lack of availability of cell membrane permeable dyes. The silicon-based far-red fluorescent probe (Si-DMA) has been especially

In the autumn of 2014, we presented new stains to conduct live cell imaging of Actin and Tubulin, which I covered in my post 2 new Actin and Tubulin live-cell imaging stains – without transfection!

Small molecules known to modulate biological activies of the K-Ras oncogene are predominantly of synthetic origin (ex. Salirasib). Nevetheless, various publications
