Chagas’ disease, caused by infection with the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, is a potentially fatal condition for which new treatments are urgently needed. Due to the lack of validated drug targets, phenotypic screening followed by target deconvolution is the dominant approach in Chagas’ d...
Psoriasis is a chronic skin disease that affects multiple systems and can be influenced by immunological, environmental, and genetic factors. The discovery of plasma biomarkers of psoriasis and the regulation of metabolic pathways helps us understand psoriasis and may assist clinicians in the diagno...
In vitro culture methods underpin many experimental approaches to biology and drug discovery. The modification of established cell culture methods to be more biologically relevant, or to optimise growth, is traditionally a laborious task. Emerging metabolomics technology enables rapid evaluation of ...
The extraction of meaningful biological knowledge from high-throughput mass spectrometry data relies on limiting false discoveries to a manageable amount. For targeted approaches in metabolomics a main challenge is the detection of false positive metabolic features in the low signal-to-noise ranges ...
HepG2 treated with 40 compounds (3 concentrations, 0.1xCmax, Cmax and 10xCmax) and vehicle for 7 h. Compounds have different degree of drug-induced liver injury concern. Data for Figure 2 in connected publication.
Microorganisms can adopt a quiescent physiological condition which acts as a survival strategy under unfavourable conditions. Quiescent cells are characterized by slow or non-proliferation and deep down-regulation of processes related to biosynthesis. Although quiescence has been described mostly...
Primary human hepatocytes treated with 40 compounds (3 concentrations, 0.1xCmax, Cmax and 10xCmax) and vehicle for 7 h. Compounds have different degree of drug-induced liver injury concern. Data for Figure 2 in connected publication.
INTRODUCTION: To decrease antibiotic resistance, their use as growth promoters in the agricultural sector has been largely abandoned. This may lead to decreased health due to infectious disease or microbiome changes leading to gut inflammation.
The global prevalence of antibacterial resistance requires new antibacterial drugs with novel chemical scaffolds and modes of action. It is also vital to design compounds with optimal physicochemical properties to permeate the bacterial cell envelope. We described an approach of combining and integr...
