DEL for Protein-Protein Interaction
Protein-protein interactions (PPI) are physical and chemical contacts between two or more protein molecules. As a fundamental aspect of almost all biological processes, any interference of the sophisticated PPI network could result in potential physiological disorder or disease. Although some PPI networks have been well-established for their roles in tumor development and therefore have been […]
DNA-Encoded Library (DEL) for Compound Optimization & Expansion
DNA-encoded library (DEL) technology represents a revolutionary method in drug discovery. Unlike conventional approaches, DEL enables unparalleled exploration of chemical space, leading to the rapid identification of novel potent compounds. Although the importance of DEL screening in hit discovery has been well recognized, the power of DEL technology in compound optimization has only been appreciated […]
DEL for Covalent Ligand Discovery
Although many covalent drugs were serendipitously discovered historically, covalent inhibitors were in general discouraged due to the concerns over their interference with biological assays and potential lack of selectivity. Over the past decades, rational design of covalent inhibitors has gained traction and garnered increased interest, particularly due to their stronger potency, prolonged target engagement, increased […]
DEL for Unconventional Applications
The advancement of DNA Encoded Library (DEL) technology has been significant in recent decades. Beyond its conventional role in small molecule drug discovery, its integration into emerging fields has begun to garner increased interest. This can be attributed to its large chemical space, abundant Structure-Signal Relationship (SSR) data, and inherent DNA conjugation properties. In this […]

What is a Microsphere? Definition and Explanation
A microsphere is not the same as a microcapsule, because microcapsules typically consist of a flexible (deformable) shell encapsulating a fluid, which might be liquid or gas. Microspheres always have a solid shell. Even if the microsphere is technically hollow (containing gas inside), its shape is not significantly flexible or deformable. A microsphere is not […]
Current update on nanoplatforms as therapeutic and diagnostic tools: A review for the materials used as nanotheranostics and imaging modalities
In the last decade, the use of nanotheranostics as emerging diagnostic and therapeutic tools for various diseases, especially cancer, is held great attention. Up to date, several approaches have been employed in order to develop smart nanotheranostics, which combine bioactive targeting on specific tissues as well as diagnostic properties. The nanotheranostics can deliver therapeutic agents […]
