Watch our on-demand webinar where we explore new methods to improve data quality from high-throughput screens. You'll learn about solutions for common problems in drug-target discovery and our keynote speaker will also look at case studies where new approaches to screening have identified high-quality candidate drugs for proliferative diseases.
Researchers have shown that neutralising antibodies developed in COVID-19 patients were less potent if from those with severe or fatal disease.
Quantitative reverse transcription PCR (RT-qPCR) involves the detection and quantification of RNA.
A new study shows that methacycline, a commonly used antibiotic, can reduce the neurological damage caused by Zika virus infections in mice.
In a study of mild-to-moderate COVID-19 patients scientists established that the level of certain antibodies remained stable for five months.
Identify therapeutic effects and adverse responses to compounds earlier in the drug discovery process.
A major challenge within electrophysiology labs is 50 or 60 Hz line frequency electrical noise, which can either distort or completely drown out biological signal.
A simple co-culture assay that can assess anti-tumour T-cell cytotoxicity via luminescence and flow cytometry has been created.
Combining 2D and 3D models with live-cell assays allows monitoring of cell responses in real time and provides important insights about compound treatment effects, biological complexity, and physiological relevance of assay results.
Learn how to perform complex analysis of calcium oscillations and assess cellular and mitochondrial toxicity.
Neurological symptoms have been observed in COVID-19 patients. The link between SARS-CoV-2 and the CNS is critical to developing effective treatments
