NEIL3 Antibody Used to Investigate Mechanisms of DNA Repair

admin April 2, 2013

  Guest post by Katie Griffiths Base excision repair is a crucial mechanism involved in DNA repair and protection. The process is initiated by DNA glycosylases, which recognize and cleave damaged or incorrectly paired bases. Owing to the importance of this process, considerable study has gone into understanding the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved, and… Continue Reading »

The Protein Foxp2 is necessary for normal speech and language development in humans. However, there are many other genes involved in the neuroprocessing and motor abilities associated with speech and language. Contemporary research is uncovering such targets.

Speech and Language Associated Genes: An Overview

admin March 1, 2013

The human capacity for vocal communication is unrivaled throughout the animal kingdom, though our genetic make-up only differs from our closest relatives by a percent or two. Researchers are beginning to unravel the neurogenetic pathways that enable this unparalleled capability for speech. Initial clues have been unearthed in the identification of genes associated with developmental… 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 »

TDP-43 Staying with the subject of neuroscience and neurodegenerative disease for the moment, no top ten Proteintech list would be complete without our TDP-43 polyclonal antibody (10782-2-AP). The main reason for this of course is this antibody’s involvement in the original identification of TDP-43 as the “mystery” ubiquitinated protein aggregate in a proportion of FTD… Continue Reading »

Neurotrophin family signaling

admin June 11, 2010

The neurotrophin family of signaling factors comprise nerve growth factor (NGF), brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophins NT-3 and NT-4. These factors are involved in the differentiation and survival of neural cells. The best characterized receptors for these trophic factors are the tropomyosin-related tyrosine kinase receptors TrkA, TrkB, and TrkC, and a member of… Continue Reading »
