9 pathway-specific screening assays in Immunotherapy
8 criteria for selecting your ELISA kits
Biomarkers specialists are often asked to select an ELISA kit for researchers: with thousands of ELISA references available on the market, the choice can be tricky regarding proteins for which several
miRNAs: potent biomarkers in cancer research?
A recent paper by Kojima, M. et al. has found
Interferons - the first line of defense against viral infections
Interferons (IFNs) are low molecular weight proteins that belong to the class of glycoproteins known as cytokines. IFNs are part of the non-specific immune system and are an important first line of defense
How sample preparation can affect your biomarker studies (I)
In previous posts, we have discussed about whether samples should be pooled, how much (and if) they should be diluted, and how biologicals can affect the final results...and the biomarkers that you find.
Oxygen and miRNAs in Cosmetology and Dermatology
A recent review by Nadim et al. casts some light on a Cosmetology and Dermatology, where circulating biomarkers, though studied to a certain extent so far, are yet unknown for many skin models. (1)
Pharma/biotech industry outsourcing trends in Biomarker studies
A recent article by E. Langer (E. Langer, “Another In-House Operation Gets Outsourced” (2015) Pharmaceutical Technology 39 (6)) describes the growing
Intracellular Calcium measurement with Fluo-8
G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCR) and ion channels are important targets in drug development. Both target classes represent membrane proteins which require convenient and robust cell-based assays for
Live Cell Imaging: User results with SiR-Actin & SiR-Tubulin
For one year now, SiR-Actin and SiR-Tubulin, the second generation of tools to stain actin and tubulin in living cells, have been available on the market - and although it may sound like an overstatement,
Secretome profiling - now quantitative!
For secretome biomarker profiling, several solutions, including arrays allowing to screen up to 1,000 factors, have been available for some time now. These profiling solutions, however, were semi-quantitative
