Stem cells’ versatility in drug development  

Drug Discovery World

Select mature stem cell lines can then be used in small-scale in vitro assays, and proven biochemical and phenotypic screens supporting target validation and deconvolution studies. Through the use of human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived cells, we can improve translation and reduce risk of clinical failure.

Are organ-chips the future of preclinical research?

Drug Discovery World

Animal models, Ewart explains, are limited by their genetic and physiological differences from humans. With cues from a diverse population of tissue-specific cell types, extracellular matrix proteins, and biomechanical forces, cells grown in organ-chips closely emulate their in vivo counterparts and replicate tissue-level functions.

Angelman Syndrome Market: Insights Into The Recent Late-Stage Drug Failures And Novel Approaches To Treating This Rare Neurogenetic Disorder

Delveinsight

Angelman syndrome (AS) is a complex genetic rare disorder that affects the nervous system. Usually, only a single copy of the gene is required that too from the mother, however, in cases of AS, either the child does not get any copy, or the child receives two copies – each from mother and father.
