Stepwise Dosing Protocol for Increased Throughput in Label-Free Impedance-Based GPCR Assays06:13

Stepwise Dosing Protocol for Increased Throughput in Label-Free Impedance-Based GPCR Assays

7.0K
This protocol demonstrates real-time recording of full dose-response relationships for agonist-induced GPCR activation from a single cell layer grown on a single microelectrode using label-free impedance measurements. The new dosing scheme significantly increases throughput without loss in time...

Precision Implementation of Minimal Erythema Dose (MED) Testing to Assess Individual Variation in Human Inflammatory Response

9.1K
Minimal erythema dose (MED) testing is used to establish dosage schedules for ultraviolet radiation phototherapy. It can assess individual variation in inflammatory response but lacks methodology for achieving reproducible results. Here, we present a precision implementation of MED and demonstrate its ability to capture individual variation in inflammatory...

A Cross-Disciplinary and Multi-Modal Experimental Design for Studying Near-Real-Time Authentic Examination Experiences

7.4K
An experimental design was developed to investigate the real-time influences of an examination experience to assess the emotional realities students experience in higher education settings and tasks. This design is the result of a cross-disciplinary (e.g., educational psychology, biology, physiology, engineering) and multi-modal (e.g., salivary markers, surveys, electrodermal sensor)...

Dose-Response Relationship: Overview

5.0K
Agonists can bind with and activate receptors, resulting in the formation of drug-receptor complexes. Once formed, these complexes catalyze many biochemical processes at the cellular level and subsequently induce a pharmacologic response. The degree of response is directly proportional to the fraction of activated receptors, which in turn, depends on the concentration of the drug at the receptor site as well as the sensitivity of the receptor. An increase in the administered dose contributes to...

Dose-Response Relationship: Potency and Efficacy

6.4K
The potency of a drug is the measure of its ability to produce a biological response and can be compared by looking at the half-maximum effective concentration or EC50 values of different drugs. A lower EC50 value indicates higher potency of the drug. In the dose–response curve of two antihypertensive drugs, candesartan and irbesartan, a significant difference is observed in their EC50 values. A lower EC50 value for candesartan indicates that it is more potent than irbesartan, as it...

Dose-Response Relationship: Selectivity and Specificity01:25

Dose-Response Relationship: Selectivity and Specificity

9.6K
Drugs exert their therapeutic effects by interacting with receptors, enzymes, or ion channels that are present throughout the human body. The strength and duration of the interaction between a drug and its target receptor are characterized by the selectivity and specificity of the drug. Selectivity refers to a drug's strong preference for its intended target over other targets. For instance, isoprenaline, a non-selective β-adrenergic agonist, interacts with both β1- and...

Area of Science:

  • Toxicology
  • Risk Assessment
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Current methods for assessing dose-response and safety of bioactive agents have limitations.
  • A need exists for a unified analytical framework to evaluate diverse agents like allergens, nutrients, microbes, and chemicals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce the Key Events Dose-Response Framework (KEDRF) for analyzing dose-response relationships.
  • To provide a systematic approach for identifying safe intake or exposure levels for bioactive agents.
  • To promote the use of mechanistic data in risk assessment.

Main Methods:

  • Convened a cross-disciplinary working group to examine dose-response assessment approaches.
  • Developed the Key Events Dose-Response Framework (KEDRF) to link dose to effect through key biological events.
  • Considered factors influencing dose-response relationships and variability.

Main Results:

  • The KEDRF provides a common analytical framework for diverse bioactive agents.
  • The framework connects fundamental biological processes to observed outcomes.
  • It facilitates an evidence-based approach, reducing reliance on default assumptions.

Conclusions:

  • The KEDRF enhances the understanding of dose-response relationships for bioactive agents.
  • This framework supports more accurate quantification of variability and characterization of biological thresholds.
  • The KEDRF promotes a more robust, mechanistic approach to safety assessments.
