Exosomes as a trigger for signaling
Extracellular vesicles in general, or exosomes in particular, are becoming a hot topic for research, especially in cancer. They seem to have different roles in tumour progression or can be used as
From osteoarthritis to bladder cancer... hyaluronic acid is not just cosmetics!
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
A focus on ATX-LPA signaling research tools
Autotaxin (ATX) is a secreted lysophospholipase D involved in the release of the lipid mediator LPA. Many research tools have been developed to study ATX-LPA signaling.  In this post, I invite you

Your complete tool box to facilitate your Immunotherapy research
Developing new therapeutic agents to boost the immune system and avoid the escape of diseased cells from the natural defenses is the common goal of all researchers in Immunotherapy. To greatly reduce time
Lipid-Ligand interaction tools: lipids are not scary intermediates anymore
The first time a cell biologist discovers that there might be a lipid involved in their favourite pathway, it's a bit like finding a wall across the road (just the same situation as when a lipidomist
Where to find a sensitive Hyaluronic Acid (HA) quantitative assay
Hyaluronic acid (also called HA or Hyaluronan) is a glycosaminoglycan with elevated viscosity, enabling tissues (eye, skin, joint and synovial fluid...) to resist to physical and mechanical constraints
