Anticipating Cytopenia: In Vitro Methods for Hematotoxicity Testing
The screening of novel compounds to predict potential toxicity to the hematopoietic system (i.e., hematotoxicity) is an important step in drug development. This webinar discusses the importance of hematotoxicity testing in drug development, reviews methods for in vitro assay standardization, and explores the use of both colony-forming unit (CFU) assays and lineage-specific liquid culture-based assays as tools for in vitro drug screening.
The Road to Functional Human Neuronal Circuits in Vitro
Active neurons are a vital part of a functioning brain and an essential component of in vitro neurological models. In this webinar, Dr. Cedric Bardy talks about why and how he invented BrainPhys™, a new neuronal basal medium that better supports neuronal function in vitro, described in C Bardy et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 2015. Dr. Bardy describes how BrainPhys™ increases the physiological relevance of primary and hPSC-derived neuronal cultures in vitro.
