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
The Rat Effectively Models Signature Cytokines of T Helper Cells(Post)Understanding the immune system's intricacies requires models that accurately reflect its complexity. The rat, as a model organism, plays a crucial role in immunological research, particularly in
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
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
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
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
What is CAR T-cell therapy?(Post)CAR T-cell therapy CAR (Chimeric Antigen Receptor) T-cell Therapy is a type of cancer treatment. CAR T-cells are made in the laboratory and they have an artificially created receptor on the
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
High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase(Page) Immune-Checkpoint Inhibition in Cancer Prevention(Post)Harnessing Immune-Checkpoint Inhibition for Cancer Prevention Immune-checkpoint inhibition (ICI) has emerged as a pivotal strategy in cancer therapy, particularly in the context of tu

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
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,
Cancer Research Club - RCSI(Post)Our Cancer Research Club symposium series continued on Wednesday afternoon, at Royal College of Surgeons (RCSI), Dublin, Ireland. The Bouchier-Hayes lecture theatre was at maximum capacity w
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
