This webinar discussed a screening assay that recapitulates the activation of ER stress sensor IRE1 and an assay to quantify cell migration phenotypes, as applied to cardiovascular target validation and drug discovery.
Researchers at the University of Louisville, Kentucky, have demonstrated that a new radiotracer, 2-18F-fluorodeoxysorbitol (18F-FDS), can identify and track bacterial infection in lungs better than current imaging methods and is able to differentiate bacterial infection from inflammation.
Neglected tropical diseases (NTD) affect more than one billion people and new targets and drugs are needed to tackle these infections. The multi-disciplinary NMTrypI consortium has identified a number of different compound classes which could be effective against these diseases. This article reviews some of these compounds...
