Condensate biology: advancing drug discovery for complex diseases

Drug Target Review

In this article, we will delve into the world of condensate biology and explore the groundbreaking research projects undertaken to discover the potential they hold for diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ( ALS ) and colorectal cancer. Klein notes the importance of Dewpoint’s disease-agnostic approach.

Patient-derived organoids in disease modelling

Drug Target Review

How can PDOs revolutionise drug discovery and deepen our understanding of disease? Patient-derived organoids (PDOs) are proliferative 3D cell structures derived from tissue samples of both healthy and diseased tissue. What sets PDOs apart from traditional 2D cell and animal models used in drug discovery?

New machine learning-based single-cell search engine makes cell annotation faster, more efficient

Broad Institute

We wanted to build a tool like that for cell biology. So we took lots of reference single-cell RNA sequencing data from atlases and used our scalable machine learning algorithms to embed all of the gene expression data on these cells into compact vector representations — you can think of these as a signature for each cell.
