Tunneling Nano Tube (TNT) based drug screening system
Ivention
Probing intercellular communication technology. TNTs are intercellular membrane channels functioning as hot lines for long-distance calls between cells. Our fully automated detection system of TNT communication opens new doors in therapeutic drug development. This mind-blowing discovery is revolutionizing our understanding of intercellular communication and is a rapidly growing area of scientific/commercial interest.
Applications
Development of lead compounds for: cancer treatment, multi-drug resistance (e.g. p-glycoprotein), viral spreading, autoimmunity, et cetera.
Advantages
- An advanced high-throughput cell culture and imaging system
– Automatic detection of cells and TNT-connections
– Automatic detection of TNT-activity
– Fast implementation into the workflow
– Fully digital handling and automatic analysis of results
– Rapid and efficient screening for modulating agents of TNT-dependent communication
