Personalized medicine in rheumatoid arthritis: hopes and challenges.
Clinicians have an increasing number of therapeutic agents available for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Pharmacogenetics, the study of genetic variation underlying differential response to drugs, seeks to improve treatment of individual patients. Multiple markers of treatment response have been analyzed in RA, but many of the studies are small and retrospective in nature. There are...

متن کاملClinical Therapy Using iPSCs: Hopes and Challenges
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are generated by ectopic expression of defined transcription factors in somatic cells. They can undergo unlimited self-renewal and maintain the embryonic stem cells (ESCs)-like ability to differentiate into all three germ layers. iPSCs can potentially provide unlimited autologous cells for therapy and therefore hold great promise for regenerative medicine....
متن کاملSynthetic Genomics and Synthetic Biology Applications Between Hopes and Concerns
New organisms and biological systems designed to satisfy human needs are among the aims of synthetic genomics and synthetic biology. Synthetic biology seeks to model and construct biological components, functions and organisms that do not exist in nature or to redesign existing biological systems to perform new functions. Synthetic genomics, on the other hand, encompasses technologies for the g...
متن کاملTreatment of Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders with Deep Brain Stimulation Raising Hopes and Future Challenges
The technology of Neural Stimulation in recent years has become the focus of the research and treatment, although it has been around for many years. The potential use of stimulating the brain and nerves ranges from the spinal cord stimulation to the implantations of cochlear and bionic eyes with a large discrepancy between the clinical readiness for these various uses. Electrical high-frequency...
