DNA methylation is an important epigenetic regulatory mechanism in mammals, among which 5-methylcytosine (5mC) is the major form studied. 5mC is established and maintained by the DNMT family, and after sequential oxidation by the TET family, it can be removed through replication-dependent ...
Lipids are not synonymous with fats. Fats mainly refer to energy-storage lipids such as triacylglycerols, whereas lipids comprise a much broader range of structural classes, including fatty acids, glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, and sterol lipids. Different lipids participate not only in ...
Targeted protein degradation is expanding from the ubiquitin-proteasome system to the autophagy-lysosome system. AUTAC, AUTOTAC, and ATTEC can all exploit autophagy to eliminate specific targets, but they differ in cargo recognition and autophagy-recruitment mechanisms. First- and ...
Loading control antibodies are used to detect stable reference proteins and provide internal references for target protein quantification, sample-to-sample comparison, evaluation of subcellular fractions, and multiplex detection. Their applicability depends on reference protein stability, sample ...
Calcium is an essential element for bone mineralization, neuronal excitation, muscle contraction, coagulation, and cellular signal transduction. It is also a commonly measured parameter in food, environmental, pharmaceutical, biomaterial, and cellular-function research. In different samples, ...
CAR-T is an immune-cell therapy platform, whereas molecules such as CD19, CD22, CD33, and CD123 are the actual recognition targets. Beyond CAR-T, targeted leukemia research also covers aberrant kinases, oncogenic metabolites, apoptotic dependencies, transcriptional regulatory complexes, and ...
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by disruption of immune tolerance, persistent exposure of nucleic acid autoantigens, autoantibody production, and immune-complex-mediated tissue injury. Its pathology is not driven by a single immune-cell ...
Serine endopeptidases are a class of proteases that use an active-site serine residue as the nucleophile to hydrolyze peptide bonds within proteins or polypeptides. Their members participate in protein digestion, coagulation and fibrinolysis, complement activation, inflammatory regulation, ...
Calcium channel blockers regulate vascular smooth muscle contraction, myocardial excitation-contraction coupling, sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodal conduction, neurotransmitter release, and exocytosis in secretory cells by reducing Ca²⁺ influx mediated by voltage-gated calcium channels. ...
