Can We Panelize Seizure?
This Toxicological Sciences review explores seizure liability screening using ion channel panels, hiPSC-derived neurons and microelectrode arrays.
Seizure liability remains a significant cause of attrition in drug discovery and development, leading to loss of competitiveness, delays, and increased costs. Current detection methods rely on observations made in in vivo studies intended to support clinical trials, such as tremors or other abnormal movements. These signs could be missed or misinterpreted; thus, definitive confirmation of drug-induced seizure requires a follow-up electroencephalogram study…
