Introduction The BALB/C mouse is a widely used inbred strain in biomedical research, particularly in the fields of immunology, cancer research, and genetics. Among the various tissues studied, the kidney holds significant importance due to its complex structure and multifaceted role in physiological functions. A formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) block of the BALB/C mouse kidney serves as an ...
Matrix Gla Protein (MGP) is a small, vitamin K-dependent extracellular matrix protein that plays a critical role in the regulation of vascular calcification and bone development. As a natural inhibitor of pathological mineralization, MGP has attracted significant attention in cardiovascular and skeletal biology research. The development of recombinant MGP protein has enabled researchers to study ...
Tissue cross-reactivity studies play an essential role in the understanding of immune responses, particularly in the context of autoimmunity, transplant rejection, and vaccine development. These studies aim to identify whether antibodies or T cells generated against a particular antigen react with similar proteins found in different tissues, which can lead to unintended effects and complications. ...

Breast cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the cells of the breast. It can occur in both men and women but is more common in women. Breast cancer can develop in different parts of the breast, including the tubes that carry milk to the nipple or the lobules that produce milk. The exact cause of breast cancer is not completely understood, but factors such as genetics, hormone situations, ...
Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histones are crucial for protein structure regulation, playing key roles in gene expression regulation, DNA repair, cell signaling, and more. These PTMs of histones can be achieved by adding or removing different chemical groups or proteins, thus affecting chromatin structure and function. Here are some common types of histone PTMs. 1. Acetylation The ...
