Machine learning approaches as tools to accelerate drug discovery
Computational methods based on machine learning approaches are being introduced increasingly widely to screen the large number of molecules that have never participated in the drug discovery process, but which might have significant drug development potential. This article considers the latest advances in machine learning as applied to drug discovery...

3-D bioprinted tissues as disease-in-a-dish models for drug screening
More than 90% of drugs that enter clinical evaluation fail to reach approval because of lack of efficacy or unexpected toxicity. This failure rate is in large part due to the use of overly simplistic in-vitro cell-based assays and animal models with limited predictive value...

Assays In-Depth Focus 2017
HTS can be carried out in a number of formats, ranging from simple biochemical (target-based) to whole animal screening assay formats. Horst Flotow, from Hit Discovery Constance, discusses the benefits and practicalities of, and recent progress in, whole animal screening. Madhu Lal-Nag, National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, and Anton…

High-throughput screening platforms incorporating physiologically relevant 3-D models
Two-dimensional monolayer cell proliferation assays for cancer drug discovery have enabled large-scale screens. But they represent a simplified view of oncogenes or tumour suppressor genes as the genetic drivers of cancer cell proliferation.

Enzymes: Ubiquitin-specific proteases as druggable targets
In much the same way that kinases and phosphatases attach and remove phosphate groups from proteins to modulate their activity, there are a series of enzymes (E1, E2, E3) that add one or more ubiquitins onto a protein, as well as enzymes that remove them (deubiquitinases; DUBs), thereby regulating their…
