Modern Therapeutic Approaches for Noninfectious Ocular Diseases Involving Inflammation.
Dry eye disease, age-related macular degeneration, and uveitis are ocular diseases that significantly affect the quality of life of millions of people each year. In these diseases, the action of chemokines, proinflammatory cytokines, and immune cells drives a local inflammatory response that results in ocular tissue damage. Multiple therapeutic strategies are developed to either address the sym...
متن کاملMitochondrial diseases: therapeutic approaches.
Therapy of mitochondrial encephalomyopathies (defined restrictively as defects of the mitochondrial respiratory chain) is woefully inadequate, despite great progress in our understanding of the molecular bases of these disorders. In this review, we consider sequentially several different therapeutic approaches. Palliative therapy is dictated by good medical practice and includes anticonvulsant ...
متن کاملPPAR-γ, Microglial Cells, and Ocular Inflammation: New Venues for Potential Therapeutic Approaches
The last decade has witnessed an increasing interest for the role played by the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPAR-gamma) in controlling inflammation in peripheral organs as well as in the brain. Activation of PPAR-gamma has been shown to control the response of microglial cells, the main macrophage population found in brain parenchyma, and limit the inflammation. The anti-i...
متن کاملFuture therapeutic approaches for inflammatory bowel diseases.
In this review, we speculate about future therapeutic approaches for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), focusing on the need for better preclinical and clinical models and approaches beyond small molecules and systemically administered biologics. We offer ideas to change clinical trial programs and to use immunologic and genetic biomarkers to personalize medicine. We attempt to reconcile past ...
متن کاملNew Therapeutic Approaches for Cardiovascular Diseases
The heart is a tissue rich in mitochondria with ≈30% of cardiomyocyte volume occupied by these ATP-generating organelles. The large mitochondrial mass also orchestrates a myriad of signaling pathways related to metabolite generation, stress response, and cell death. Thus, it is not surprising that mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in numerous cardiovascular-related diseases, making mitoch...
