Protocol for screening inhibitors of the fungal sphingolipid-metabolizing enzyme ceramide synthase
STAR ProtocolsSummary: Fungal sphingolipids have emerged as potent antifungal targets based on cumulative evidence demonstrating that fungal sphingolipid metabolism is essential to the virulence of pathogenic fungi. Here, we present a protocol to screen for inhibitors

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

High-throughput drug screening of fine-needle aspiration-derived cancer organoids
STAR Protocols, 2020 Summary: Generation of fine-needle aspiration (FNA)-derived cancer organoids has allowed us to develop a number of downstream applications. In this protocol, we start with organoids cultured in a semi-solid format.

A system for performing high throughput assays of synaptic function. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Unbiased, high-throughput screening has proven invaluable for dissecting complex biological processes. Application of this general approach to synaptic function would have a major impact on neuroscience research and drug discovery.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.
