Return of SIRT1 deacetylase - Why is SIRT1 so attractive in Drug discovery and Stem cell research?
Mutant or wild-type: 7 effective means to screen and profile Human EZH2 Methyltransferase
Histone-lysine N-methyltransferase EZH2  is a methyltransferase involved in transcriptional gene regulation. Together with with EED, RbAP48, SUZ12 and AEBP2, EZH2 forms a 5-member complex that adds
Main factors for different cell types...
In my previous post, we focused on 6 cytokine growth factors for cell culture. This time, we will try to find the best factor for each main cell type.

PARP and Top1 inhibitors most beneficial in endonuclease-deficient cancer cells
The synergistic combination of Poly(ADP-ribose) polymerases (PARP) and Topoisomerase I (Top1) inhibitors most beneficial on endonuclease-deficient cancer cells in cancer therapies ?
This is one of the
3 monoclonals to discriminate free Ubiquitin from linear and polyubiquitin chains
Ubiquitin (Ub) is an 8 kDa  highly conserved polypeptide, commonly expressed in eukaryotic cells. Ub is added to lysine residues of the target proteins. This post-translational modification (known
1 simple way to rapidly quantify Collagen: Sircol Collagen Assay
Collagen is a structural protein expressed in mammalian tissues (ex. skin, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilages, blood vessels...).  Together with Elastin and Keratin, Collagen fibres give connective
Celastrol inhibits NF-kB pathway in Multiple Myeloma
Celastrol is a biologically active substance initially described in the traditional Chinese medicine. Celastrol (or (9ß,13α,14ß,20α)-3-Hydroxy-9,13-dimethyl-2-oxo-24,25,26-trinoroleana-1(10),3,5,7-tetraen-29-oic
Proteome, secretome, kinome… What’s it all about?
Proteome is referenced as the result of expression of the whole genome. With the recent developments of genomics, one could consider that this analysis is enough to decipher any biological mechanism...
Focus on the JAK-STAT pathway...
The Janus kinase (JAK) / Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT) pathway a key regulator of cellular proliferation, differentiation, migration, apoptosis and survival. Numerous cytokines,
IP3-mediated STIM1 oligomerization requires intact mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake by Deak et al.
Deak AT et al. decipher the mechanisms by which mitochondria contribute to Ca2+ intracellular signaling. In their recent paper (1), they show that mitochondrial "Ca2+ buffering" close to the Endoplasmic
Distinctions between homogeneous bulk cancer cell tumors vs. Cancer Stem cell driven tumors by Pr. Clarke
Professor Alan Clarke, (Director of the European Cancer Stem Cell Research Institute) has recently given an overview of how Cancer Stem cell tumors differ from the conventional "homogenous bulk cancer
How to select Hyaluronic Acid (HA) quantitative tests?
Hyaluronic acid (also called HA or Hyaluronan) is a glycosaminoglycan with unique characteristics. HA possesses elevated viscosity, enabling tissues (eye, skin, joint and synovial fluid...) to resist
