On the one hand this fundamental process provides the opportunity to discover new targets for anticancer agents and improved chemotherapeutics, but on the other hand drugs and targets in other therapeutic areas must be tested for undesirable effects on the cell cycle. Historically, a wide range of techniques have been developed to study the cell cycle both as a global biochemical process and at the molecular level. This article reviews a range of methods for analysis of the cell cycle and introduces a novel class of dynamic stealth sensors based on expression, localization and degradation of green fluorescent protein under the control of key components of cell cycle regulation. These sensors allow the precise status of the cell cycle to be determined in live cells by fluorescence imaging without perturbing cell cycle progression.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101208,"journal":{"name":"TARGETS","volume":"2 1","pages":"Pages 26-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1477-3627(02)02282-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85576832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, the way targets are assessed has become crucial to the success of the drug discovery process. Unfortunately, the traditional methods relied on by the pharmaceutical industry to identify and validate targets are too slow and labor-intensive to be useful in the current environment. One solution to this dilemma is to adopt a new paradigm, which we call Process Biology. Process Biology integrates genomics and bioinformatics tools into automated, optimized modules that can be applied readily to a wide range of biological questions. By using organizational principles not usually applied to biological experiments, Process Biology can significantly impact target assessment and assist in decision-making throughout the drug discovery process.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101208,"journal":{"name":"TARGETS","volume":"1 6","pages":"Pages 189-195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S1477-3627(02)02263-8","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91684532","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
