Fully licensed SLC cell lines for FDA and EMA recommended transporters
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 drug transporters (eg.
Hepatocyte Pellets - why should you make the switch?

What is DNA?
DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid, and is the carrier molecule of hereditary genetic information.
DNA structure
DNA is a very long molecule, made up of a succession of nucleotides added to each other by phosphodiester
What is the difference between Genetics and Genomics?
As similar as the two terms may seem, there is a fundamental difference between genetics and genomics.
Understanding this difference also means understanding their implications in cancer care, from prevention
What is a clinical trial?
Clinical trials are the bedrock of medical research. They are conducted in distinct phases that we will detail in this article. But before clinical trials can even start, it is necessary to conduct preclinical
How do cells protect themselves from viruses?
More than two years ago, the whole planet got impacted by COVID-19. Over time, and with the help of our dedicated worldwide scientific research community, we have learnt how to prevent its spread and to
What type of Biological molecule is a DNA helicase?
There are several thousand types of different molecules in each cell (with some exceptions). These molecules are constantly changing and renewing themselves. Most of these molecules have a complex chemical
What is the role of ADME in drug discovery?
ADME is an abbreviation in pharmacokinetics (a branch of pharmacology that studies how substances act and remain in organisms) for “Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion”.
It refers to the
Choosing the Right Assay for PARP
Studying PARP family members is a high priority in cancer drug development
Are you keen to study PARP (Poly-ADP Ribose Polymerase) enzymatic activity, DNA trapping or PARP degradation? Then you've
What is the future of mRNA based therapeutics, and their main challenges?
mRNA is a ribonucleic acid used by cells as an intermediate carrier of the genetic information contained in the DNA to synthesize proteins, and corresponds to the copy of one of the two strands of DNA.
Why are certain drugs called enzyme inhibitors?
Our bodies’ normal functioning relies on chemical reactions (for instance, the conversion of food into energy or the replenishment of cells in tissue, like in muscles or organs). These biochemical reactions
