Phenotypic Studies to De-risk Fibrosis R&D

Learn more about fibrosis and review examples of phenotypic studies designed to measure various aspects of fibrosis-relevant biology.

OVERVIEW

Thickened, stiff, damaged tissue is the hallmark of fibrosis – a potentially deadly disease that can result from a multitude of causes and affect numerous organs. Although fibrosis itself is a disease, it is also affiliated with other conditions, such as cancer and inflammatory disorders, rendering it a fulcrum point of diverse R&D studies and efforts.

To aid in our clients’ R&D programs, we specialize in developing in vitro, phenotypic screening assays that range from simple, monocultures to complex, multi-cell type models. We collaborate with our clients to design custom assays that will answer their most pressing questions.

HIGHLIGHTS

We outline a few fibrosis-relevant assays that can help your go/no-go, R&D decisions, including studies that characterize the effect of a drug candidate on: 

  • Formation of stress fibers
  • Fibrosis pathway activation
  • Deposition of extracellular-matrix proteins

REPRESENTATIVE IMAGES

Representative images of primary NHLFs stained for nuclei (Hoechst), α-SMA, and F-actin (phalloidin) 72hrs after treatment.
