Stimulatrix: An open-source automated platform for high-throughput functional characterization of engineered contractile tissues

Engineered cardiac and skeletal muscle tissues suspended between flexible posts support disease modeling and pharmacology, yet their stimulation, longitudinal imaging and quantitative analysis often remain fragmented and labor-intensive. Here we present Stimulatrix, an open-sourc...

Synthesis, Evaluation, and Context for Applications of SF5-Containing [1.1.1]Bicyclopentane and [ 2 ]Staffane “Hybrid Bioisosteres”

Abstract Bioisosteric replacements are conventionally applied as single-variable changes to a parent molecule during drug discovery campaigns. Herein, we evaluate hybrid bioisosteric replacements as strategic combinations of multiple substitutions that counterbalance the physicoc...
