Despite significant advances in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, antiplatelet therapies are still associated with a high risk of hemorrhage. In order to develop new drugs, methods to measure platelet function must be adapted for the high-throughpu ...

Hookworm infections cause a neglected tropical disease (NTD) affecting ~740 million people worldwide, principally those living in disadvantaged communities. Infections can cause high morbidity due to their impact on nutrient uptake and their need to feed o ...

Rod-shaped bacteria frequently localize proteins to one or both cellpoles in order to regulate processes such as chromosome replication or polar organ-elle development. However, the roles of polar factors in responses to extracellularstimuli have been gene ...

Canine distemper virus (CDV), a close relative of the human pathogen measles virus (MeV), is an enveloped, negative sense RNA virus that belongs to the genus Morbillivirus and causes severe diseases in dogs and other carnivores. Although the vaccination is ...

Bacterial toxin-antitoxin systems (TASs) are thought to respond to various stresses, often inducing growth-arrested (persistent) sub-populations of cells whose housekeeping functions are inhibited. Many such TASs induce this effect through the translation-dependent RNA cleavage (RNase) activity of their toxins, which are held in check by their cognate antitoxins in the absence of stress. However, it is not always clear whether specific mRNA targets of orthologous RNase toxins are responsible for their pheno

Multiple enveloped RNA viruses of the family Paramyxoviridae and Pneumoviridae, like measles virus (MeV), Nipah virus (NiV), canine distemper virus (CDV), or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), are of high clinical relevance. Each year a huge number of live ...

Summary Translation inhibitors are invaluable for probing ribosome function and therapeutic applications, but systematic discovery in human systems is limited by the lack of scalable, screening-compatible cell-free platforms. Here, we establish a robust high-throughput screening using human lysates that bypasses cellular cytotoxic effects. After screening ∼28, 000 small molecules, we identified known and novel translation inhibitors, including NT-2, a trichothecene mycotoxin produced by the pathogenic Fusar

Retinoblastoma (RB) management often involves the combination of chemotherapeutic agents (e.g., carboplatin and etoposide) and techniques (e.g., chemotherapy and thermotherapy). Chemoresistance and relapse, as well as systemic and ocular toxicities of current retinoblastoma chemotherapeutics necessitate the implementation of alternative drugs. Fewer resources and concern for pediatric cancer hinder drug discovery and development in an effective way. To overcome the obstacle, a drug repurposing strategy with

Glutathione S-transferase P1-1 (GST P1) is an important drug target as it is implicated in drug resistance. GST P1-1 inhibitors are typically non-productive analogues of glutathione which covers broad chemical space; hence it is likely that several clinica ...

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) is a key regulator of immune responses and therefore an important therapeutic target for the treatment of diseases that involve pathological immune escape, such as cancer. Here, we describe a robust and sensitive high-t ...

The Wnt pathway, which controls crucial steps of the development and differentiation programs, has been proposed to influence lipid storage and homeostasis. In this paper, using an unbiased strategy based on high-content genome-wide RNAi screens that monit ...

Stress response pathways rely on coordinated gene expression regulation. In the endoplasmic reticulum, the unfolded protein response plays an important role in maintaining the homeostasis of protein folding and processing. A chemigenetic reporter assay is developed that allows monitoring of BiP/GRP78 expression, a key regulator of the unfolded protein response. The system is based on the coexpression of the self‐labeling protein HaloTag via an internal ribosome entry site. HaloTag allows for flexibility in

Elimination of malaria will require new drugs with potent activity against Plasmodium falciparum mature stage V gametocytes, the only stages infective to the mosquito vector. The identification and comprehensive validation of molecules active against these ...

We introduce a label-free technology based on digital holographic microscopy (DHM) with applicability for screening by imaging, and we demonstrate its capability for cytotoxicity assessment using mammalian living cells. For this first high content screenin ...

Discovering new drugs to treat tuberculosis more efficiently and to overcome multidrug resistance is a world health priority. To find antimycobacterial scaffolds, we screened a kinase inhibitor library of more than 12,000 compounds using an integrated stra ...

We designed a method termed Telospot to discover and characterize telomerase modulators as anticancer drugs or chemical biology tools. Telospot is based on a highly efficient human telomerase expression system and the detection of telomerase DNA reaction p ...

Aminopeptidases, such as dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4, CD26), are potent therapeutic targets for pharmacological interventions because they play key roles in many important pathological pathways. To analyze amino-peptidase activity in vitro (including hig ...
