Targeted Protein Degradation: The Next Frontier in Oncology Drug Discovery(Post)
For decades, cancer drug development has focused on blocking proteins—inhibiting enzymes, antagonizing receptors, disrupting signaling pathways. Yet this approach leaves a vast landscape of disease-d
Icatolimab: Revolutionizing the Fight Against Cancer via CD47 Targeting(Post)Quick Facts About IcatolimabWhat is Icatolimab?Icatolimab is a monoclonal antibody designed to target CD47, a protein that cancer cells use to evade immune detection.How does Icatolimab
The Role of Tumor Suppressor Genes in Cancer: Knudson Hypothesis & Oncogenes(Post)Cancer Biology · GeneticsTumour Suppressor Genes: Roles, Examples & CancerTumour suppressor genes are the brakes on cell growth — they restrain proliferation, repair damaged DNA and trigger apoptosis
CD4 T-Helper Differentiation: Th1, Th2, Th17, Treg and Tfh(Post)The antigen tells a CD4 T cell to respond; the cytokine tells it what kind of response to make. A naive CD4⁺ T cell leaving the thymus is uncommitted. Within about seventy-two hours of engaging TCR/C
Troubleshooting high ELISA concentrations(Post)QUICK ANSWER If your ELISA returns sample concentrations that are orders of magnitude too high, the assay itself is usually fine — the error is almost always in data analysis. The most
What are the stages of Parkinson's disease?(Post)What is Parkinson’s disease? Parkinson's disease can be seen as a neurodegenerative disease because it is associated with the loss of nerve cel
VEGF: Inflammation and Tumourigenesis(Post)What is VEGF? Vascular Endothelial Growth Factors (VEGFs) are a group of homodimeric polypeptides, and are master regulators of vascular development, maintenance and a

Leukemia Inhibitory Factor: An Overview (Post)Leukemia Inhibitory Factor and JAK-STAT Signalling Pathway Leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) is a cytokine that belongs to the interleukin-6 (IL-6) family of cytokines. Other members of
What Are Oligodendrocytes? Functions, Markers & Disease Links(Post)Neuroscience · Glial CellsOligodendrocytes: Myelination, Lineage Markers and DiseaseOligodendrocytes are the myelinating glia of the central nervous system. A single oligodendrocyte can wrap segments
CD25 and Tregs: Understanding the Role of Regulatory T Cells in Tumor Immunity(Post)Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a crucial role in maintaining immune balance by suppressing excessive immune responses that could lead to tissue damage. However, in the context of cancer,
PD-1/PD-L1 Checkpoint Signalling: Pathway, Function and Assays(Post)PD-1 does not switch a T cell off; it moves the threshold. Engagement of PD-1 by PD-L1 recruits a single phosphatase into the immunological synapse, and that one recruitment event is enough to collap
Unconventional T Cells: Already Armed, and No MHC Required(Post)Most immunology is written as though a T cell must first be told what to look for. Three lineages did not read that memo. γδ T cells, invariant NKT cells and MAIT cells leave the thymus with their ef
