NOVEL SCREENING METHOD

摘要

The present invention provides a method for identifying a drug-like compound, or lead compound for the development of a drug-like compound, which is capable of modulating cellular adhesion and/or cell survival comprising the step of testing said compound for an ability to modulate the binding of a complex of tissue transglutaminase and fibronectin to a heparan sulfate containing receptor. In particular, there is provided a method for identifying a compound for use in the curative and/or prophylactic treatment of a proliferative disorder or with efficacy in promoting wound healing and /or cell survival, and compounds identified by such methods.
