Cell Signalling: Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK pathway research tools
The Ras-Raf-MEK-ERK Pathway is an important cell signalling route with many implications for cancer biology and therapeutic development. Dis-regulation of some of this pathway's proteins expression and
Simple and effective CRISPR CAS9 gene editing for primary cells
Vector-free CRISPR-CAS9 gene editing to accelerate therapeutic applications
A few years ago, Ayal Hendel et al (doi:10.1038/nbt.3290) published results revealing that chemical alterations to sgRNA enhance
Cell signalling: Where to find multiplex arrays for glycobiology studies
How do you detect 300 specific glycan binding proteins in one experiment? Well, in this post we'll answer this question by introducing the new Glycan Array, developed by RayBiotech for your cell signalling
Develop robust and convenient cell based assays with Gaussian Luciferase
Cell-based assays have become a classic way to monitor cells' reactions to a treatment or a specific stimulus. They involve a reporter construction and a detection system. The classic system is Firefly
10 Human Immune Checkpoint biomarkers quantified simultaneously
Immune checkpoint molecules play an important role in T cell functionality after TCR/MHC signalling. Blockade of two B7/CD28 family checkpoint molecules, CTLA-4 and PD-1, have already demonstrated excellent
Cardiovascular disorders: Proteomics tool for disease signature identification
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) comprehensively describes a range of pathologies of the heart and/or blood vessels. These disorders differ markedly in time-scale of development, and relative contributory
3D cell culture validation - impact of physioxic conditions on TIMP-1 expression
When compared to 2D conventional cell culture systems, experimental data obtained with 3D cell culture models have been shown in many instances to be more biologically relevant, closer to clinical conditions
Evolutions in Molecular Cloning to save time and make life easy
As with this painted representation of (surrealist!) DNA, to a certain extent, molecular cloning is an art.
Unfortunately for newcomers, or fortunately for experts, it's required for many downstream applications
How is inflammation quantification evolving?
Inflammation is involved in many fields including cosmetology, drug discovery (including RNA-based vaccines), and diagnostic index development, as well as being linked to almost every disease such as HIV,
Multiplex profiling in one single blot: 15 species models to choose from
In a previous post, I introduced the C-series multiplex profiling technology from Raybiotech, a smart way to multiplex your western blot while saving time and sample volume, and decreasing the cost of
Establish if a treatment modulates immune response, even in a conflicting background
In a recently published study, researchers sought to elucidate if 2 treatments modulated immune response or not, despite the available evidence being conflicting. The method that made the difference and
