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

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

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

The Receptor Tyrosine Kinases (RTKs) are an important family of cell-surface receptors transmitting extracellular stimuli (ex. NGF, PDGF, FGF, EGF, Insulin...)

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

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.

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

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
