How to be a Confident Speaker (Scientific)(Post)
Like needles in a haystack, interesting speakers that bring charisma and rock n roll to their talks are hard to come by. No matter what the research interests of the audience, these speakers hy
Apoptosis Pathway(Page) JAK-STAT Signalling: Cytokine Receptors, JAKs, STATs and Assays(Post)Dozens of cytokines converge on four kinases and seven transcription factors. That compression is the problem JAK–STAT has to solve, and it is why this map is drawn as receptor, kinase and STAT colum
The common characteristics of cancer | Assay Genie(Post)By Shane Houston, PhD Candidate Queen’s University Belfast Cancer is an age old adversary of the human race. This out-of-control growth of abnormal cells has been a shadow over human health t

Antigen Processing and Presentation: MHC-I, MHC-II, Cross-Priming(Post)Every T-cell response begins with a protein being taken apart. Before a CD8 or CD4 T cell can see anything, an antigen has to be degraded into peptides of the right length, delivered to the right com
Allorecognition Pathway: Transplant Rejection, DSA and GvHD(Post)Transplant rejection is the fastest, most violent adaptive immune response a body can mount — and it is a response to a molecule rather than to a pathogen. Somewhere between one and ten per cent of a
TLX as a Novel Therapeutic Target(Post)Danka Kozareva PhD Candidate, University College Cork The generation of neurons from stem cells The process of generating
Research Universities in Ireland(Post)Since I am from Ireland I thought I would give as comprehensive view as possible for Research Universities in Ireland. By now you are probably considering looking for a PhD or PostDoc positi
Investigating orthohantavirus infections with proteomics(Post)Sarah Brun Bar-Yaacov PhD Candidate, University of Liverpool Orthohantaviruses are a group of segmented negative-sense RNA viruses maintained as asympto

Th17 Cell Differentiation: Insights into Immunological Dynamics(Post)Th17 cells, a subset of T helper cells characterized by their production of interleukin-17 (IL-17), play a significant role in the immune system's response to pathogens and in the pathology of au
Mitophagy: The Cell's Cleanup Crew for Healthy Living(Post)Mitophagy, a term derived from the fusion of "mitochondria" and "autophagy," represents a vital cellular process responsible for the targeted degradation and recycling of dysfunctional mitochon
3D Organoid Cell Viability Assay: Performance Assessment in Human Colon Organoids(Post)The 3D Organoid Cell Viability Assay (AKES081) demonstrated high sensitivity and low cytotoxicity, making it ideal for long incubation studies (24-48 hours) and high-throughput applicati

NLRP3 Inflammasome & Cytokine Secretion(Post)Nod-like receptors Nod like receptors (NLRs) are a versatile family of relatively recently discovered intracellular receptors which have a br
The Leukocyte Adhesion Cascade: Integrin Signalling and Assays(Post)Every leukocyte that reaches an inflamed tissue has solved the same mechanical problem. It must stop, in under a second, against a shear flow that would otherwise sweep it past the site of infection.
Wnt Signalling Pathway in Immunity(Post)What is Wnt Signalling? The Wnt signalling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved pathway that plays critical roles in the regulation of determining cell fate, polari
PVR: Balancing Immune Activation and Suppression in Cancer(Post)PVR (Poliovirus receptor), also known as CD155, is a molecule that plays a dual role in regulating the immune response within the tumor microenvironment. While initially discovered as a r
CD27 Activation: Strengthening the Immune Army Against Cancer(Post)Harnessing the immune system to fight cancer has become a pivotal strategy in modern oncology. A key component in this fight is CD27, a receptor that plays a crucial role in T-cell activa
