DNA methylation and histone post-translational modifications are key epigenetic factors.

They regulate

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression and influence numerous cellular functions. Together with

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...

In a previous post, I mentioned that the secretome is becoming a very hot topic in the world of

Following our series of posts on tumour microenvironment (TME) and the role of Cox-2/PGE2 signaling, I'd like today to focus on inflammation and immunity.

TME is a dynamic milieu

Cytokines and growth factors that are produced by or have an effect on adipocytes and related peptide neuro-transmitters are central players in hunger vs. satiety balance and in eating behavior (1). Recent

Well, in the previous posts leading up to this final one in the series, we looked at microRNA detection, overexpression, inhibition, and target detection. I'd like to finish by going over miRNA profiling.

Following a post on tools for discovery of secretome biomarkers in biological samples, a recent publication by Torres et al. depicts how some of these tools (i.e. antibody arrays)

A recent study published in Nature Communications is the first to report how a mature microRNA (miR-223) actively controls the gene expression of a cell in which it was not originally transcribed. High

In previous posts, we have seen the role of inflammation and glycosylation 

In a previous post on tumour microenvironment (TME) and glycosylation, we indicated that new tools for studies on glycosylation of proteins were being developed. We are happy to announce

Cell culture under oxygen controlled conditions: an improvement towards more predictive results

Oxygen concentration in tissues is a key factor for cell and organ survival. In normal conditions,
