CD155 is read by four different receptors, and only one of them turns the killing programme on. The nectin and nectin-like ligands induced on stressed and transformed cells are simultaneously an acti

In the intricate world of cancer biology, a silent conversation is constantly unfolding between tumor cells and their environment. For decades, we viewed this dialogue as a one-way street, with cancer

Quick answer A researcher validating two isoform assays — the Human ALT1 (HUFI00557) and ALT2 (HUFI00593) ELISA kits — spiked the ALT2 kit's standard onto the ALT1 kit's plate and saw

By Dr. Niclas Thomas “Data science” is a recent addition to the vocabulary of analytics, and can mean many different things to different people. As far as

Un plan expérimental ELISA fiable repose sur six éléments non négociables: des contrôles complets (blanc, négatif, positif, matrice), des étalons pour la courbe de calibration, une série de diluti

I'll start this post off with a story. When I was half way through my PhD and I had found my passion for science communication, I approached my supervisor for the first time to ask “Can I ha
