In a modern drug discovery setting, in vitro protein binding assays are essential to assess the binding affinity and characteristics of a drug molecule with plasma proteins. Two commonly used methods for in vitro protein binding assays are equilibrium dialysis and...
Modern Drug Discovery Workflows There are several reasons why it is important to introduce in vitro absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) assays as early as possible into a modern drug discovery workflow, especially for biotech companies. Here are...
Brain tumors are a major cause of cancer-related death, and metastatic brain tumors are particularly difficult to treat. Brain tumors pose significant challenges to scientists in terms of understanding their development and progression, and finding effective treatment...
The race to first-in-human clinical trials has become more critical than ever for drug developers. The FDA has even developed 4 major tracks to speed up the process and make drugs available to patients as fast as possible: Fast Track: Facilitates drug development and...
A recently published article entitled Ex vivo engineered human plasma cellsexhibit robust protein secretion and long-term engraftment in vivo1 shows that a subset of in vitro cultured plasma B cells can take on characteristics of long-lived natural plasma B cells. Due...
