Göttingen, Germany — Western Blot is widely used in research to separate and identify proteins. In this technique a mixture of proteins is separated based on molecular weight through gel electrophoresis. The content of the gel is then transferred to a membrane producing a band for each protein. The protein of interest is then detected […]

San Diego, CA — The Hippo pathway is a highly conserved signaling pathway that relays signals from the cell membrane to the nucleus to negatively regulate TEAD-mediated transcription. Increased TEAD transcription can result in increased tumor growth. Alternatively, TEAD transcription leads to regenerative proliferation. Therefore, Hippo pathway activators could serve as cancer therapeutics, while Hippo […]
