New image-based cellular profiling tool peers deeply into metabolic biology

Broad Institute

It then extracts features from images of stained cells and creates cellular profiles, categorizing cells based on patterns (often imperceptible to the human eye) that they share with other cells, which directly inform disease biology.

Expanding Your Assay Specificity: Cisbio Joins PerkinElmer

PerkinElmer

Following the announcement that PerkinElmer has acquired Cisbio Bioassays , here is a little more information about the exciting opportunities this brings to life sciences researchers. The structure of HTRF reagents also makes assays highly resistant to most experimental conditions, and particularly well suited for cell-based assays.

Assays for the Future of Drug Discovery

PerkinElmer

Here are two predictions for the future: Alpha CETSA ® for target engagement While traditional assay methods detect either the displacement of a radioligand binding to the target by a competitor molecule, or the modulation of some function of the target, a new method is making headway: Cellular Thermo Shift Assay (CETSA) from Pelago Bioscience.

The researchers also looked at the tool’s ability to detect changes in cell morphology after exposure to drugs and small molecule compounds. With high-resolution, cell-based profiling techniques, extracting large numbers of data can be done cheaply and efficiently.

Chemical con artists foil drug discovery

Molecular Design

The effects of curcumin, EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), genistein and resveratrol on four membrane proteins were reported in Ref9 and these effects would raise doubts about activity for any of these compounds (or their close structural analogs) that had been observed in a cell-based assay.
