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

Actin can be stained in living and fixed cells to determine and follow the structure and function of the cytoskeleton. The actin cytoskeleton is a very dynamic and labile structure in the living cell,

SiR-actin and SiR-tubulin kits now contain Verapamil

Recently, we were pleased to launch highly

What are metabolites?

Microorganisms live in a world of chemical signals. They use small molecular weight compounds, known as metabolites, to regulate their own growth and development, to encourage other

The involvement of Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in cancer development has already been described (see the post "Tumour microenvironment – the dark side of PGE2). Recently, Kurtova et al. confirmed this

Many researchers are facing a dilemma: they want to set up a CRISPR genome editing project but they can't decide which cell line to use for genome editing. Even some of the most cost-effective genome editing

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 Biomarker discovery,

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.

Case # 1 - ELISA or simplex assays

Most ELISA manufacturers

The term Autophagy was introduced by Christian de Duve during the Ciba Foundation Symposium on Lysosomes - which was held in London in February 1963. In 1974 he was honoured with the Nobel price in

Actin and Tubulin, as the major cytoskeleton structures, are crucial components of a plethora of

Cell death can be caused by external factors such as infection or trauma - a process which is call necrosis. On the other hand, cell death can be mediated by intracellular programs - in this cases we talk

ELISAs are widely used in biomarker-related studies, especially when a high number of samples is involved, and only a few biomarkers need to be quantified. That said, incubations can be somehow cumbersome,
