High content screening reveals the phenotypic landscape of intestinal organoid regeneration
21 January 2021 | By Yokogawa Life Innovations
Watch our on-demand webinar and learn how image-based phenotypic screening relies on extraction of multivariate information from cells cultured in a large number of screened conditions. In this webinar, we explore the application of complex and biologically relevant model systems for drug screening, such as small intestinal organoids.

Development of a physiologically relevant lung model for understanding SARS-CoV-2 infection
COVID-19 is known to infect the lungs; however, the dynamics of viral infection and replication are poorly understood. Alongside the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Professor Lyle Armstrong and colleagues have been working to develop a human lung epithelium model of SARS-CoV-2 infection and replication. In this article, he describes…
