Expert view: Three-dimensional cell cultures as predictive tools in early drug discovery
Three-dimensional cell cultures (spheroids, organoids) are becoming widely used as a new predictive tool in early drug discovery. The use of 3D cell cultures is believed to provide a more physiologically relevant response than monolayer (2D) cell cultures because they closely mimic the extracellular matrix and cell-cell interactions that occur…

Expert view: Unravelling the complexities of GABAA subunit selectivity in drug discovery
GABAA receptors represent a large and complicated family of ion channels that consist of at least 16 subunits (α1-6, β1-3, γ1-3, δ, ε, π, θ) that have been shown to be vital for the normal functioning of the brain. These inhibitory ligand-gated channels have been shown to beimportant in sedation,…

Application Note: Evaluating the specificity and potency of PD-1 and PD-L1 blocking antibodies using AlphaLISA human and mouse PD-1/PD-L1 binding kits
Cancer immunotherapy utilises components of the immune system to treat cancer patients. These therapies are designed to work with a patient’s immune system to increase native anti-tumour responses. One type of immunotherapy relies on antibodies to bind to and inhibit the function of proteins expressed by the cancer cell...
