VisiPaths - Signaling Pathways Visualizer and Simulator

As a special Valentines day present to all our users we'd like to introduce the beta of VisiPaths.com!

VisiPaths allows users to visualize cellular signaling pathways as they propagate through the network. The app allows the user to track

• signal transduction
• signal crosstalk
• pathways interactions
• other systems biology modeling
• and more!

Once a pathway is loaded and setup, the user can also alter any node properties, including activity and connections, and visualize the changes it causes to the signaling pathways - all in realtime.

With the ease of using a standards compliant web-app, you can modify any parts of the pathway including adding new nodes and creating new connections/interactions to test how they would affect overall signaling pathways.

All node actions can be based on a timer using delay function for each connection. This allows to see separately early (protein phosphorylation) and late (transcription) signaling events and also allows to visualize oscillations.

The app is available as a limited beta to the general public. We invite you to visit VisiPaths.com and signup for an account now.

ScienceSlides Online Improvements

With the new year we are extremely happy to announce a few ScienceSlides Online improvements that we just launched this afternoon.

• Faster and better search. With the new change you will be able to search though titles and tags of the slides, but also the reference synopsis. We hope that with this addition you'll find it easier to find the slides that you are looking for.
• Performance improvements. Faster load times - no more waiting!
• FREE Wednesday Slide download is back online with a little twist. Now we'll ask you to "pay with a tweet" before downloading to spread the word about ScienceSlides content.
• Various backbend changes to support our new VisiPaths product which we are releasing very soon. We're very excited about 2011 and can't wait to show you what we have been working on.

Stay tuned.

ScienceSlides 2010 - 13th Edition

We are happy to extend out commitment to the scientific community by announcing our updated suite of products with ScienceSlides 2010.

For this latest release, our content has been further expanded and updated. Many fields have been revised, including mTOR protein, Ion Channel physiology, Calcium Homeostasis, Cytoskeleton, mRNA processing, Growth Factor, Tumor Suppressor and Oncogene signaling, TLR and Fcgamma signaling. Significant expansion has been made in Molecular Pharmacology and Medicinal Chemistry.

As always all slides are available in PowerPoint (PPT) format which is compatible across all major operating systems and presentation tools.

October Molecular Cell Cover Design

We're pleased to announce that our cover design was picked for the October issue of Molecular Cell magazine.

The cover features 3′ end processing of replication-dependent histone pre-mRNA. Histone pre-mRNA (top wire) is cleaved 5 nucleotides after the stem loop by CPSF-73, represented by the wire cutter.

We've worked closely with the editors and the scientists who are featured in the article to create a design that best illustrates the discovery. Using the flashlight in the cover is descriptive of the discovery as well as a nice play on words to the title "FLASH Illuminates Histone Pre-mRNA 3' End Clevage."

Apart from creating ScienceSlides Online and ScienceSlides on CD, we also specialize in custom scientific illustrations. Please email us for more info. We're experts on designing graphics for PowerPoint as well as 3D modeling tools such as 3d Studio Max.
