Chronic pain of varying types including inflammatory pain, cancer pain and neuropathic pain is an increasing health problem for which there are inadequate therapeutic options.
Many new targets for

Ion channels play an important role in perception and transmission of pain sensations. Furthermore, dysfunctions of certain ion channels are involved in neuronal disorders, such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's

G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCR) and ion channels are important targets in drug development. Both target classes represent membrane proteins which require convenient and robust cell-based assays for

Montelukast is a marketed drug used for asthma treatment and to relieve symptoms of seasonal allergies. It is known to function as a leukotriene receptor antagonist.

Transporters have become increasingly important in drug development due to the major role they play in absorption, distribution and excretion of

Metabolic pathways are upregulated in cancer cells to promote their growth and proliferation. The evidence pointing to the requirement of the amino acid serine in tumorigenesis is overwhelming. Serine

The term Autophagy was introduced by Christian de Duve during the Ciba Foundation Symposium on Lysosomes – which was held in London in February 1963. In 1974 he was honoured with

Stauprimide is known to prime Embryonic Stem Cells (ESC) by targeting the c-Myc-activating transcription factor NME2. Its mechanism of action is linked to the inhibition of the nuclear localization

Focus Biomolecules produces a broad range of bioactive lipid mediators as well as many small molecule inhibitors of numerous lipid metabolic pathways for use as cellular

The absence of mature oligodendrocytes for the repair of demyelination lesions is a critical factor in the pathology of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and other debilitating CNS disorders

Membrane transporters can have clinically relevant effects on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a drug in various organs and tissues by controlling its absorption, distribution and elimination.

In a previous post, we introduced our Ready-to-use cellular models for SLC assays by GenoMembrane.

These cell lines transiently express the current FDA and EMA recommended SLC
