CHICAGO: A revolutionary biochip could help speed up life-saving drug discoveries, according to scientists.
A team of researchers have developed the hi-tech device that they say will lead to a faster and more cost-effective way of finding new drugs.
The PhosphoSense technology screens compounds for use in drugs and has produced a new way of detecting the activity of enzymes called kinases.
In normal healthy human cells, kinases regulate a number of important biological processes important for survival.
However, when kinases become over-active or disregulated, it can cause a range of life-threatening diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, Alzheimer’s and diabetes…
