Cell death can be caused by external factors such as infection or trauma - a process which is call necrosis. On the other hand, cell death can be mediated by intracellular programs - in this cases we talk

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

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

Chronic pain of varying types including inflammatory pain, cancer pain and neuropathic pain is an increasing health problem for which there are inadequate therapeutic options.
Many new targets for

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

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

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.

Metabolic pathways are upregulated in cancer cells to promote their growth and proliferation. The evidence pointing to the requirement of the amino acid serine in tumorigenesis is overwhelming. Serine

The term Autophagy was introduced by Christian de Duve during the Ciba Foundation Symposium on Lysosomes – which was held in London in February 1963. In 1974 he was honoured with

Stauprimide is known to prime Embryonic Stem Cells (ESC) by targeting the c-Myc-activating transcription factor NME2. Its mechanism of action is linked to the inhibition of the nuclear localization

Focus Biomolecules produces a broad range of bioactive lipid mediators as well as many small molecule inhibitors of numerous lipid metabolic pathways for use as cellular

The absence of mature oligodendrocytes for the repair of demyelination lesions is a critical factor in the pathology of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and other debilitating CNS disorders
