Have you ever tried to access the genomic profiles of cell lines before using them in your preclinical experiments just to come up empty-handed? Maybe you’ve scoured public databases f...
Integrating external and internal ‘omics data is a key element of hypothesis generation, target identification, and biomarker prioritization when it comes to drug discovery. It is neve...
G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the single largest class of druggable targets in the human genome. Of the 390 or so druggable and non-olfactory human GPCRs there exist many whic...
The cancer drug discovery landscape is shifting. While research continues to grow in cost and complexity, the pace of development has never been faster. Biopharmaceutical companies can&rsquo...
In general, once a receptor drug target has been validated for the treatment of a particular condition, either a high throughput screen is carried out to identify potential hits, or existing...
Digital spatial profiling (DSP) on the NanoString GeoMx platform enables high plex molecular profiling of clinical tissue samples. This new profiling strategy enables deep insights into the...
Whether you are performing killing assays, immunophenotyping of TILs, characterizing the tumor microenvironment, or investigating immunogenicity, primary cells are essential for the discovery...
NanoMIPs, often called “plastic antibodies”, are made using a proprietary self-assembly process where the template molecule is incubated with monomers, each of which is free in so...
This webinar will highlight the importance of top-quality starting materials required for consistent, reproducible drug discovery assays. Topics include blood products, the latest in magneti...
This talk reviews the advances in the field of Proteolysis Targeting Chimeras (PROTACs). It is divided to five topics: (1) Ligand-induced Target Protein Destabilization; (2) Small-Molecule L...
In-vitro epithelial barrier models that are more representative of in-vivo tissues are urgently needed. Here we present extracellular matrix-supported intestinal tubules in a perfused microfl...
Proliferation biomarkers are proteins that are up-regulated in growing cells. Immunological staining of tumor tissue can provide an indication of the aggressivity of the tumor and provide in...
Advanced Cell Diagnostics’ RNAscope products and assay services are utilized widely for tissue-based gene expression analysis in early target validation, preclinical animal efficacy and...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a spectrum of metabolic disorders affecting 25% of our global population. 20% of NAFLD patients go on to develop Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (N...
The field of melanoma has been transformed by the parallel development of effective immune and targeted therapies. There is now strong evidence of cross-talk between oncogenic signaling...
There are many tumor biomarkers but, they mostly reflect tumor mass or past growth, when what is more important is to obtain an indication of future growth and therapy response.Proliferat...
Cellular research is optimal when using physiologically-relevant cell phenotypes and genotypes of human origin. This assertion has accelerated the adoption of primary cells, stem cells, and i...
High-throughput sequencing technology such as RNASeq and whole genome sequencing has enabled deep characterization of health and disease states. Biomarker discovery by these means has only h...
Current drug discovery workflows are inefficient. 90% of therapeutic agents reaching clinical trials fail, predominantly because traditional laboratory experiments fail to adequately predict...
The quest for alternatives to animal safety testing has fueled the development, characterization, and validation of many new technologies. There have been advances in cell and tissue models...
The use of primary cells in vitro is compromised by the limited quantity of cells that can be isolated from one donor, a lack of or very restricted proliferation capacity (e.g. hepatocytes)...
Rapid, accurate estimation of relative ligand affinities offers the potential to allow computational methods to direct drug design and development. Towards this goal we have developed t...
The liver plays a critical role in the metabolism and clearance of more than 70% of marketed drugs. Furthermore, toxicity to the liver is a major reason for preclinical and clinical drug fai...
Stable cell lines are critical tools of cellular assays in drug discovery and development. Over-expressing cell lines are needed to screen for hits, while functional cell lines are needed fo...
We recently reported that HDAC6 is involved in the regulation of a number of immunosuppressive checkpoint proteins, including the Program Death Receptor Ligand 1 (PD-L1). This protein is one...
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the Methyl CpG Binding Protein 2 (MECP2) gene. In mouse models of RTT, deficits in long-term potentiation (LTP) at...
Over the past 25 years surgically dependent animal models have expanded from a small, almost niche area in pharmaceutical research to an important component of most research portfolios. In t...
