Abstract
Biomolecular condensates (BMCs) are crucial for cellular organization and function, and their dysregulation is linked to neurological, oncologic and inflammatory diseases. This highlights the need for advanced investigative tools leading to targeted BMC therapeutics. To address this need, Nereid Therapeutics uses Corelet™ technology and an automated high-throughput screening (HTS) platform to precisely quantify phase separation events and identify BMC modulators for previously undruggable targets. Hundreds of thousands of small molecules have been screened utilizing Corelet technology, yielding small molecule BMC-modulating compounds which serve as the basis for the development of targeted therapies for diseases with high unmet need.
期刊介绍:
Advancing Life Sciences R&D: SLAS Discovery reports how scientists develop and utilize novel technologies and/or approaches to provide and characterize chemical and biological tools to understand and treat human disease.
SLAS Discovery is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes scientific reports that enable and improve target validation, evaluate current drug discovery technologies, provide novel research tools, and incorporate research approaches that enhance depth of knowledge and drug discovery success.
SLAS Discovery emphasizes scientific and technical advances in target identification/validation (including chemical probes, RNA silencing, gene editing technologies); biomarker discovery; assay development; virtual, medium- or high-throughput screening (biochemical and biological, biophysical, phenotypic, toxicological, ADME); lead generation/optimization; chemical biology; and informatics (data analysis, image analysis, statistics, bio- and chemo-informatics). Review articles on target biology, new paradigms in drug discovery and advances in drug discovery technologies.
SLAS Discovery is of particular interest to those involved in analytical chemistry, applied microbiology, automation, biochemistry, bioengineering, biomedical optics, biotechnology, bioinformatics, cell biology, DNA science and technology, genetics, information technology, medicinal chemistry, molecular biology, natural products chemistry, organic chemistry, pharmacology, spectroscopy, and toxicology.
SLAS Discovery is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and was published previously (1996-2016) as the Journal of Biomolecular Screening (JBS).
