Sircol for soluble and insoluble collagen assays!
Measuring soluble collagen in biological samples is a straightforward experiment which can be done with the Sircol soluble collagen assay using Sirius Red dye (Sircol dye) in a convenient manner (we explored
Activation of RhoA, Rac1 and Cdc42 - New G-LISA Trial kits
Small GTP-binding proteins such as RhoA, Rac1, and Cdc42 are involved in regulating cell signalling pathways and impact a wide range of cellular processes, functions, and morphology. They bind and hydrolyze
Writing - Erasing - Reading Epigenetics: Targeting Erasers in Drug Discovery
DNA and Histone proteins are targets for epigenetic modifications.
One of the roles of Epigenetics is to drive cellular differentiation from totipotent Stem cells to fully differentiated cell types,
8 new JARID1 - JMJD2 HMT assays
A lot of efforts are made to identify potent and selective inhibitors for the demethylation reactions catalyzed by members of the JMJD2 and JARID1 protein families (1, 2). Both epigenetic eraser enzyme
Where can I find the best PARPs?
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is a family of proteins which catalyze the NAD-dependent addition of Poly ADP-ribose (PAR) chains to nuclear proteins. PARPs play key signaling roles in apoptosis,
Immunotherapy Screening - CD40:CD40L pathway
In my previous blogs, I invited you to read about the relevance of the B7-1 : CD28, B7-1 : CTLA4, the BLTA:HVEM, CD47:SIRPα , the GITR:GITRL and the PD-1/PD-L1/PD-L2 pathway for immunotherapy screenings
Immunotherapy Screening - CD137:CD137L pathway
In previous blogs, I invited you to read about the relevance of the B7-1 : CD28, B7-1 : CTLA4, the BLTA:HVEM, CD47:SIRPα , the GITR:GITRL, the CD40:CD40L and the PD-1/PD-L1/PD-L2 pathway for immunotherapy
Actin staining techniques in fixed and living cells
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,
Predicting CYP induction in stable cell lines
Assessing gene transcription as an endpoint for determining induction of drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters has become the “method of choice” in the FDA’s latest draft Guidance for Industry drug
Immunotherapy Screening - IDO pathway
In previous blogs, I invited you to join me in exploring the relevance of the following pathways:
Hepatic Cellular Models
A wide range of in vitro models are used in preclinical drug testing for the investigation of ADME-Tox (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and oxicity) properties of New Chemical Entities
