Neuroregenerative effects of microtubule stabilizing Epothilone B
Epothilone B is a bioactive microtubule-stabilizing small molecule. This blood-brain barrier permeable coumpound belongs to the most popular potent cytoskeletal modeling molecules for in vitro
Mechanism of action for angiogenesis inhibitor Borrelidin discovered
Originally identified as an active molecule against the Borrelia species, Borrelidin has since been described as a selective inhibitor of threonyl tRNA synthetase (ThrRS). More recent research
20S Proteasome inhibitors and Leptin against obesity
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated in 2008 that 1.4 billion adults worldwide were overweight and of these 500 million were obese with risks for developing type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cardio-vascular
Pharmacological agents which alleviate Pain

Many new targets for
O-Glucuronide synthesis made easy
6 popular Microtubule agents used in in vitro tubulin assays
Microtubules are key components of the cytoskeletal structure of eukaryotic cells.
How to modulate ion channels
Ion channels play an important role in perception and transmission of pain sensations. Furthermore, dysfunctions of certain ion channels are involved in neuronal disorders, such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's
Neuromuscular diseases: A new application for Statins?
Statins are HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors, well-known medications for treating Hypercholesterolemia. Simvastatin is a member of this "Statin family" and controls
Which Histone (De)Methyltransferase modulators to choose?
Histone Methyltransferases (ex. EZH1 and EZH2, and G9a) and their counter-parts (Histone demethylases like JARID1, the KDM4, and the JMJD family) have become promising targets for inhibitor screenings,
How sample preparation can affect your biomarker studies (II)
In a previous post, we looked at the importance of sample preparation
Montelukast improves learning & memory in aging brain
Montelukast is a marketed drug used for asthma treatment and to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies. It is known to function as a leukotriene receptor antagonist.
Ion Channels and Cancer Immunology
Ions channels are pore-forming membrane proteins that control ion transit across the cell membrane to various stimuli. It was shown that deregulation or dysfunction of channels are clearly linked to many
