Recent advances in handling and readout have facilitated high-throughput screens with Caenorhabditis elegans. A new study demonstrates that C. elegans is a useful tool in high-throughput anthelminthic drug discovery. Despite challenges, drug discovery using C. elegans offers opportunities that might lead the way to novel anthelminthic drugs.
近年来,处理和读取技术的进步促进了使用秀丽隐杆线虫进行高通量筛选。一项新的研究表明,秀丽隐杆线虫是一种用于高通量驱虫药物发现的有用工具。尽管存在挑战,但使用秀丽隐杆线虫进行药物发现提供了机会,可能为新型驱虫药物开辟道路。
