PD-L1 and Lung Cancer Research: Pathways to Promising Immunotherapies

admin April 24, 2013

  Lung cancer remains a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide due to its oft advanced stage at discovery, in combination with its difficult-to-treat and complex nature. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), for example, classifies some 85 per cent of lung cancer cases, and tumors in this category can harbor mutations in any of several… Continue Reading »

Antibody Comparison Sites: How to Find Your Perfect Antibody Faster

admin January 18, 2013

Antibodies are indispensable biomedical research tools underpinning an ever-increasing number of bioassays. As such, it is hard to find a life science publication lacking any antibody-based technique in the present literature. A wealth of biotechnology companies exist to provide these essential laboratory resources in pre-made form (reducing costs and acquisition times significantly). From hundreds of smaller vendors… Continue Reading »

Unlocking Human MND Models:Do Skin Cells Hold the Key?

admin November 30, 2012

A matter of decades ago, the idea of turning a humble skin cell into a live, firing nerve cell would have seemed impossible; perhaps deemed the result of reading too many science fiction novels. Yet in a paper published earlier this year in PNAS, an international collaboration of researchers has done exactly this — essentially… Continue Reading »
