Condensate biology: advancing drug discovery for complex diseases

Drug Target Review

The aim is to establish condensate biology as a fundamental branch of cell biology – “cell biology 2.0” The underlying biology and processes upon which the company was founded have broad applicability across various human disease areas. Klein notes the importance of Dewpoint’s disease-agnostic approach.

Measure Cell Metabolism with Microplate Readers | BMG LABTECH

BMG Labtech

Cell metabolism and disease Metabolic perturbations and metabolic reprogramming are associated with common human diseases. In fact, metabolism should not be considered as a self-regulating entity that is independent of other biological pathways. On the contrary, cell metabolism affects or is affected by a multitude of processes.
