Mini Review Reincarnation in Ophthalmic Pharmacotherapy
Background: Atropine is the most commonly used pharmacologic agent as a cycloplegic and mydriatic. Taken into account current economical burden worldwide, the well-known drugs are “reincarnated’ and repurposed. In this light of view atropine is highlighting new properties and new target in modern ophthalmology. Objective: The objective of this review is to evaluate the evidence and discuss the ...
متن کاملMini-symposium on Cancer Bioengineering
Although many drugs show promise in monolayer or in animal models systems, most fail to translate in humans. In vitro, cancer cells are known to rapidly lose their cancer phenotype, while animal models often lack to recapitulate human tumors. A new generation of bioengineered tumors is now emerging in response to these limitations, with the potential to transform cancer research. In the last fi...

T cells play a crucial role in the host defense against pathogens and cancer cells. Using systems approaches, we studied the dynamics in protein translation and metabolic activity in resting and activated T cells from healthy donors. Our results revealed that T cells fundamentally remodel the arginine metabolism following activation, and that the amino acid L-arginine globally regulates metabol...
متن کاملRecruiting Mini-symposium on Cancer Bioengineering
Unnatural amino acids could be incorporated to expand the chemical, physical and biological properties of proteins to expand the function of life itself. There are two conceptual possibilities to achieve this goal: i). creation of orthogonal decoding rules running independently to the wildtype decoding rules to incorporate unnatural amino acids; and ii). de novo synthesis of a new genome with a...
متن کاملCurrent cell models for bioengineering a salivary gland: a mini-review of emerging technologies
Oral Diseases (2013) 19, 236-244 Saliva plays a major role in maintaining oral health. Patients afflicted with a decrease in saliva secretion (symptomatically, xerostomia) exhibit difficulty in chewing and swallowing foods, tooth decay, periodontal disease, and microbial infections. Despite recent improvements in treating xerostomia (e.g., saliva stimulants, saliva substitutes, and gene therapy...
