In drug discovery screening campaigns as well as in fundamental research activities, cellular parameters have to be measured and monitored in living cells regularly. Often fluorescent dyes are used to

In a recent publication, researchers from the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine (USA) describe that Serotonin released by human beta cell inhibits glucagon secretion by alpha cells. They demonstrated

Recombinant CYPs are commonly used in ADME-Tox studies as in vitro tools, mostly for reaction phenotyping, enzyme inhibition screening, clearance and metabolite ID.

"Research has shown that rCYPs expressed

In a few forthcoming posts, I'd like to share several short articles published by Dr Chris Bohl of Sekisui Xenotech, a technical expert in the field of ADME-Tox tools and applications. I feel they may

Following up on my series of posts based on Dr Chris Bohl's work at Sekisui Xenotech, in this post I invite you to take a look at the work he has published, together with Dr Christopher Seib, Maciej Czerwinski,

Pooled human hepatocytes are a preferred test system in many drug discovery and development applications requiring intact cellular systems for in vitro testing. Intact hepatocytes contain the major hepatic

NADPH is a critical cofactor supporting numerous biochemical reactions. In ADME-Tox studies, NAD(P)H regeneration is strongly recommended when using drug metabolizing enzymes (ex. Cytochrome

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.

I am following up on my series of posts based on the work done by Chris Bohl and collaborators at Sekisui Xenotech. Here, he looks at the effect of cryopreservation on pooled hepatocytes metabolic activities,

Kupffer primary cells are macrophages endogenous to the liver which have the ability to modulate hepatic inflammation and injury associated with various pathophysiologies and toxicities. Pro-inflammatory

Non-invasive manipulations of intracellular processes have recently appeared as an emerging research field. Experts in the development of biosensors for live cell discovery, Montana Molecular provide an

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.
