High-content assays have the potential to drastically increase throughput in cell biology and drug discovery, but handling and culturing large libraries of cells such as primary tumor or cancer cell lines requires expensive, dedicated robotic equipment. We ...
Cell-based assays for the inhibition of viral infections most commonly couple a positive signal (e.g., an increase in fluorescence) to the infection itself and not to its inhibition. When performing drug screens, compounds decreasing the signal are therefo ...
For several decades, hepatotoxicity has been a major issue for drug development.Recently, three-dimensional (3D) cell culture has been believed to improve cell drug response accuracy. However important limitations such as slow production, lack of cell dens ...
Malaria remains a major killer in many parts of the world. Recently, the development of nonprofit organisations aimed at fighting this deadly scourge incited academic and industrial scientists to merge their expertise in drug-target validation and lead dis ...
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a major mediator in innate immunity and inflammation and a potential therapeutic target in multiple inflammatory, infectious and autoimmune diseases including cancer. Current therapeutic strategies for target ...
Platelet adhesion, the initial step of platelet activation, is mediated by the interaction of von Willebrand factor (VWF) with its platelet receptor, the GPIb-IX complex. The binding of VWF to GPIb-IX is induced either by increased shear stress or by exoge ...
We present a novel OptoMEA platform that combines multisite electrical recording with local chemical stimulation. Applying UV light pulses through an array of optical fibres aligned to transparent indium-tin oxide electrodes of an MEA biochip leads to loca ...
Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is an important therapeutic target for the treatment of diseases such as cancer that involve pathological immune escape. We have used the evolutionary docking algorithm EADock to design new inhibitors of this enzyme. First ...
The foundations for fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) were already laid in the early 1970s, but this technique did not become widely used until single-molecule detection was established almost 20 years later with the use of diffraction-limited co ...
The importance of protein kinases in cell signaling and cell cycle control has led to detailed structural and functional studies in various eukaryotes, and hence to the synthesis of specific chemical inhibitors for managing disease. Here, the current progr ...
