The presence of circulating tumour cells (CTC’s) has been shown to be of diagnostic relevance for patients with early and advanced breast cancer (BC). The usefulness of CTC assessments depends upon accurate cell counts and the corresponding analysis of molecular

Microtubules and the Assembly of the Inflammasome Complex
Inflammasomes are assembled from a pattern-recognition receptor, the adapter protein Asc and caspase-1 to process interleukin-1b (IL-1b) and IL-18 in response to microbial components or damage-associated signals. Recently, it was shown that microtubules might have a central role in the
Can you solve our brainteaser?
Chuck caught himself an alligator in the swamp and took it over to Larry’s place to weigh it. It turned out that the tail alone weighed 80 pounds. The head weighed as much as the tail and half the body,
Flagellin – A TLR5/NLRC4 Agonist
Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) recognises flagellin from both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Activation of the receptor stimulates the production of proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, through signalling via the adapter proteins MyD88, TIRAP and TRIF. Flagellin is the subunit protein
Pam3CSK4 – a TLR1/2 Agonist
Toll-like receptor 1 (TLR1) recognises pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPS) with a specificity for Gram-positive bacteria. TLR1 recognises peptidoglycan and triacyl lipoproteins in concert with TLR2. Pam3CSK4 is a selective agonist to the TLR1/TLR2 heterodimer complex. It is a cell permeable
