Free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are highly reactive molecules that are generated by normal cellular processes, environmental stress, and UV irradiation. ROS react with cellular components,

Many recombinant proteins (rec. proteins) are now commercially available. And many of them, mainly secreted soluble proteins, are biologically active, so there shouldn't be any need to look for alternatives

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,

In previous blogs, I invited you to join me in exploring the relevance of the following pathways:

EPO has a reputation with many non-scientists through bad press in the cycling/racing environment. From a researcher's point of view, Erythropoietin or EPO is a 34 KDa glycoprotein known as the

In a recent video posted on "Cambridge University's YouTube channel", Professor Gillian Griffiths and co-workers prove how the Life Science Community can benefit from modern and innovative cell imaging

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,

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

Intracellular Flow Cytometry enables the identification and analysis of signaling and functional markers within cells from samples containing heterogeneous cell populations. Many cell types can be thus

The IL-1 family has long been known as a key player in the effector role of macrophages in innate defence against tumours and infections. It plays an important role in the field of natural / innate immunity

One of the hottest news last month was the high resolution structure of the TRPA1 ion channel protein.
