There is renewed interest in phenotypic approaches to drug discovery, using cell-based assays to select new drugs, with the goal of improving pharmaceutical success. Assays that are more predictive of human biology can help researchers achieve this goal. Primary cells are more physiologically relevant to human biology and advances are being made in methods to expand the available cell types and improve the potential clinical translation of these assays through the use of co-cultures or three-dimensional (3D) technologies. Of particular interest are assays that may be suitable for industrial scale drug discovery. Here we review the use of primary human cells and co-cultures in drug discovery and describe the characteristics of co-culture models for inflammation biology (BioMAP systems), neo-vascularization and tumor microenvironments. Finally we briefly describe technical trends that may enable and impact the development of physiologically relevant co-culture assays in the near future. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
