New compound sets identified from high throughput phenotypic screening against three kinetoplastid parasites:an open resource [PDF]
Using whole-cell phenotypic assays, the GlaxoSmithKline high-throughput screening (HTS) diversity set of 1.8 million compounds was screened against the three kinetoplastids most relevant to human disease, i.e.

Comparison of microscopy and Alamar blue reduction in a larval based assay for schistosome drug screening. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In view of the current widespread use of and reliance on a single schistosomicide, praziquantel, there is a pressing need to discover and develop alternative drugs for schistosomiasis.

Alginate-based 3D cancer cell culture for therapeutic response modeling
Summary: Two-dimensional (2D) culture of tumor cells fails to recapitulate some important aspects of cellular organization seen in in vivo experiments. In addition, cell cultures traditionally use non-physiological concentration of nutrients.

Fluorescence/luminescence-based markers for the assessment of Schistosoma mansoni schistosomula drug assays [PDF]
Schistosomiasis is responsible for a tremendous public health burden, yet only a single drug, praziquantel, is available. New antischistosomal treatments should therefore be developed. The accuracy, speed and objectivity of in vitro drug screening depend

A high-throughput and highly automated genotoxicity screening assay
The increasing number of compounds under development and chemicals in commerce that require safety assessments pose a serious challenge for regulatory agencies worldwide. In vitro screening using toxicogenomic biomarkers has been proposed as a first-tier screen in chemical assessment and has been endorsed internationally.
