Challenges of PTH Assays
Parathyroid hormone (PTH) plays a vital role in regulating of blood Calcium. In addition, it regulates the amount of phosphate and vitamin D in the blood. PTH is a polypeptide hormone that found in the blood circulation as peptides with different amino acid counts. The active form of the PTH which has biological activity, contains 84 amino acids, but under the influence of proteolytic enzymes...
متن کاملTranslational challenges and analgesic screening assays.
Progress in the development of novel treatments for chronic pain syndromes relies, in part, on both clinically-relevant animal model simulations and analgesic screening procedures [5]. Simulations purport to mimic the features of a clinical syndrome and screenings are geared towards drug discovery. The validity of any animal model simulation is based on how well that model fits the human clinic...
متن کاملDNA Methyltransferase Activity Assays: Advances and Challenges
DNA methyltransferases (MTases), a family of enzymes that catalyse the methylation of DNA, have a profound effect on gene regulation. A large body of evidence has indicated that DNA MTase is potentially a predictive biomarker closely associated with genetic disorders and genetic diseases like cancer. Given the attention bestowed onto DNA MTases in molecular biology and medicine, highly sensitiv...
متن کاملThiamine Assays—Advances, Challenges, and Caveats
Thiamine (vitamin B1) is essential to the health of all living organisms and deficiency has long been associated with diseases in animals such as fish, birds, alligators, and domesticated ruminant mammals. Thiamine is also implicated in several human diseases including Alzheimer's, diabetes, dementia, depression and, most notably, Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome and Beriberi disease. Yet, highly se...
متن کاملChallenges in validating candidate therapeutic targets in cancer
More than 30 published articles have suggested that a protein kinase called MELK is an attractive therapeutic target in human cancer, but three recent reports describe compelling evidence that it is not. These reports highlight the caveats associated with some of the research tools that are commonly used to validate candidate therapeutic targets in cancer research.
