Perspective on CETSA Literature: Toward More Quantitative Data Interpretation [PDF]
The cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) was introduced in 2013 to investigate drug-target engagement inside live cells and tissues. As with all thermal shift assays, the response measured by CETSA is not simply governed by ligand affinity to the investigated target protein, but the thermodynamics and kinetics of ligand binding and protein unfolding ...

CETSA-based target engagement of taxanes as biomarkers for efficacy and resistance [PDF]
AbstractThe use of taxanes has for decades been crucial for treatment of several cancers. A major limitation of these therapies is inherent or acquired drug resistance. A key to improved outcome of taxane-based therapies is to develop tools to predict and monitor drug efficacy and resistance in the clinical setting allowing for treatment and dose ...

CETSA quantitatively verifies in vivo target engagement of novel RIPK1 inhibitors in various biospecimens [PDF]
AbstractThe proof of target engagement (TE) is a key element for evaluating potential investment in drug development. The cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA) is expected to facilitate direct measurement of intracellular TE at all stages of drug development.
