In a time when rapid screening and fast-paced drug development are necessary for fighting illness and disease, having a robust supply of high-quality, fit-for-purpose consumables is critical.
The stem cells in-depth focus includes articles on using computational approaches to expand the applications of stem cell therapies and how organoids could be used to speed up the drug discovery process with a focus on retinal disease.
The articles in this in-depth focus discuss the difficulties in deciding what information to capture when imaging three-dimensional (3D) cell models and the use of non-invasive imaging techniques to discover small molecule drugs to control protein translation.
This in-depth focus features articles on using combinations of immuno-oncology drugs to target solid tumours and haematological cancers and how neoantigens of cancer cells could be used as the basis of novel immuno-oncology vaccines.
Included in this in-depth focus are articles on how high-throughput screening can be used to identify lead compounds, using chemoinformatics as a map to guide drug discovery and a novel in vitro model to screen potential treatments for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
In this issue authors discuss the development of COVID-19 antibody therapies, how high-throughput screening enhances research at the Crick Institute and why combinations of immuno-oncology drugs could revolutionise treatment of advanced cancers. Also included in the issue are articles on stem cells and imaging.
