Flow cytometry plays a crucial role in the biotechnology industry across various applications, including research, drug discovery, diagnostics, and bioprocessing. Flow cytometry (FCM) is an […]
Signaling Pathways of Toll-Like Receptors (TLRs) in Pro-inflammatory Cytokine Production
The immune system plays a crucial role in defending the body against invading pathogens. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a class of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) […]
DNA Ligase
DNA ligase is a crucial enzyme in molecular biology that plays a fundamental role in the process of DNA replication, repair, and recombination. Its function […]
Autophagy: A Key To Cell Life
Autophagy, from the Greek words meaning “self-eating,” is an essential cellular process involved in the degradation and recycling of damaged or unnecessary cellular components. It […]
Chaperone Proteins
Chaperone proteins, also known as molecular chaperones, play a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by assisting in the proper folding of proteins, preventing misfolding […]
Interleukins as Orchestrators of Immune Responses
Interleukins (ILs) represent a complex family of signaling molecules crucial for communication within the immune system. These proteins play a pivotal role in regulating immune […]
The TLR Signaling Pathway
The Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway is a critical component of the innate immune system, serving as the first line of defense against microbial pathogens. […]
The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway
The Janus kinase-signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK-STAT) signaling pathway is a crucial mechanism employed by cells to transmit signals from the cell membrane […]
What is Cell Theory?
In the biological sciences, cell theory was first developed in the mid-1800s when it was realised that all living organisms were made up of cells. […]
