Live-cell imaging enables acquisition of phase contrast images and provides an ideal platform to study multi-faceted biological paradigms in drug discovery. This is vital to our understanding of human diseases and treatment strategies. The movement of these models towards increasingly complex physiologically relevant ones, including patient-derived cells and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), has concurrently driven the need for label-free methods that are non-perturbing to deliver deeper biological insights.
New Strategies for a Better Glycosylation Profile
January 22nd 2025Glycan analysis provides key information on critical quality attributes that could affect stability, safety and efficacy of a protein therapeutic. Specific needs for understanding the glycosylation profiles change throughout the drug development process, but the requirement for high-resolution glycan information remains the same and is essential to help ensure product quality.
