Fully licensed SLC cell lines for FDA and EMA recommended transporters

10/10/2019 by Isabelle Nobiron, PhD No Comments

In a previous post, we introduced our Ready-to-use cellular models for SLC assays by GenoMembrane.

These cell lines transiently express the current FDA and EMA recommended SLC drug transporters (eg. OCT1 and OCT2; OAT1 and OAT3; MATE1; MAT2K…). Conditioned as cryopreserved format, they provide flexibility for experimental planning and can be assayed in just 2 days.

DDI studies: New TransiPort cells for OATP1A2 and OATP2B1 transporters

01/06/2018 by Isabelle Nobiron, PhD No Comments

Membrane transporters can have clinically relevant effects on the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a drug in various organs and tissues by controlling its absorption, distribution and elimination. Together with metabolizing enzymes, they can drive a drug’s pharmacological action, as well as a drug can modulate transporter expression or activity, hence the importance of evaluating transporter-mediated drug-drug interactions recommended by the FDA guidelines. Genomembrane have developed transiently expressing ready-to-use cells to study FDA approved transporters (TransiPort). I had described this product range and their unique features in a previous post. I would like to introduce in this one 2 newly released cells overexpressing OATP1A2 and OATP2B1 transporters.

Fatty Liver Disease Research: new Tissue Arrays and microsome pool

06/04/2018 by Isabelle Nobiron, PhD No Comments

Sekisui XenoTech now offers human liver tissue microarrays (TMA) and a microsomal pool for studying and developing new treatments for fatty liver disease (FLD). The microsomes and arrays feature non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and other liver tissue from the company’s Research Biobank . The initiative is part of Sekisui XenoTech’s ongoing commitment to furthering knowledge of hepatic diseases.

“Fatty liver disease is a highly pervasive condition that has a very significant impact on the health of modern society. We are supporting hepatology researchers with these collections of high-quality human tissues to advance basic knowledge of FLD and to develop new treatments for the illness,” explained Maciej Czerwinski, Ph.D., Sekisui XenoTech Director of Consulting who led the effort to establish the company’s research Biobank and develop the microarrays.

Subcellular fractions for ADME studies: broad custom capacities with strong expertise

26/02/2018 by Isabelle Nobiron, PhD No Comments

Over the years, Sekisui XenoTech has built up a strong expertise in preparing subcellular fractions for ADME applications.

There is a list of the fractions readily available for prompt delivery across Europe. However, the researcher’s specific needs in terms of species model, characterization or tissue for a particular metabolism study may not be met by the already available catalogue products. For this reason, the existing list is continuously expanding over the years in response to new demands.

Much experience has been gained by Sekisui Xenotech through interesting requests for custom tissue preparations from researchers. Here, I’d like to share some comments from the scientists at Xenotech involved in these preparations, to give you some insight in their customization capacities.
