What single cells are revealing about brain disorders

Drug Target Review

Neurological diseases are among the most complex and least understood conditions in medicine. Despite the knowledge that certain genes increase the risk of contracting diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, it is still not fully understood how those diseases develop in the brain. But that is beginning to change.

Organoids: the versatile platform for discovery and regeneration

Drug Target Review

Imagine being able to create an in vitro replica of a diseased organ to study the molecular mechanism underlying the illness. Now take a step further: envision testing drugs in these organoids to identify the ones that can treat disease safely and effectively without needing to run expensive clinical trials first.

Unlocking Undruggable Targets: Shifting Paradigms in Modern Drug Discovery

DrugBank

This method was more about serendipity than science. But as molecular biology has advanced, so too has our approach to finding new drugs. Today, we're able to identify and target specific molecules involved in disease processes—a method that's much more like using a sniper rifle than throwing darts blindfolded.
