Intracellular membrane trafficking is essential for organelle biogenesis, structure, and function; the exchange of material between organelles; and communication between the cell and its external environment. Genetic disorders affecting intracellular trafficking can lead to a variety of human diseases, but specific therapies for these diseases are notably lacking. In this article, we focus on how current knowledge about genetic disorders that affect intracellular trafficking can be used to develop strategies for cell-based assays in order to identify drugs using high-content screening approaches.

Abstract
Intracellular membrane trafficking is essential for organelle biogenesis, structure, and function; the exchange of material between organelles; and communication between the cell and its external environment. Genetic disorders affecting intracellular trafficking can lead to a variety of human diseases, but specific therapies for these diseases are notably lacking. In this article, we focus on how current knowledge about genetic disorders that affect intracellular trafficking can be used to develop strategies for cell-based assays in order to identify drugs using high-content screening approaches.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
