High-throughput single-cell-resolution genetic and pharmacological screens using

尽管花费数十亿美元用于开发靶向中枢神经系统（CNS）的新药，但仍然没有针对许多破坏性神经障碍、疾病、中风和创伤的疗法。现有的高通量筛选技术的局限性已经显著阻碍了CNS药物的发现。中枢神经系统具有独特的和戏剧性的复杂性，需要一个新的模式，在药物筛选。我们提出了一种高通量筛选技术，该技术将允许最复杂的单细胞分辨率遗传和药理学筛选，其通过使用组合蛋白质模式以亚微米分辨率和大规模地指导轴突发生和突触发生。

Despite the expenditure of billions of dollars on the development of new pharmaceuticals targeting the central nervous system (CNS), there are still no therapies against many devastating neurological disorders, diseases, stroke, and trauma. Limitations of existing high-throughput screening technologies have significantly hindered discovery of pharmaceuticals for the CNS. The CNS possesses a unique and dramatic complexity that requires a new paradigm in pharmaceutical screening. We propose a high- throughput screening technology that will permit most sophisticated single-cell resolution genetic and pharmacological screens by directing neuritogenesis and synaptogenesis at sub-micron resolution and on a large scale using combinatorial protein patterns.
