Exploiting the mechanism of cellular glucose uptake to develop an image-based high-throughput screening system in living cells

Chem Commun (Camb). 2013 Jun 7;49(45):5138-40. doi: 10.1039/c3cc41529e.

Abstract

Biophysical understanding of cellular glucose uptake led us to the development of an image-based high-throughput screening system by using a fluorescent glucose bioprobe, GB2. The accuracy, robustness, and practicality of our image-based HTS system were demonstrated through the pilot screening and the subsequent in vitro confirmation.
