Molecular science vs. molecular medicine

Precision medicine, technologies, and molecular diagnostics

Introduction: Genetics, cellular and molecular medicines are cutting-edge sciences and technologies that play an important role in improving human health and quality of life. In addition, medical and biological sciences have clearly shown that the onset of diseases differs from person to person due to their different genetic profiles and variations in molecular basis. Therefore, it is feasible ...

Sports Science vs “Boutique Medicine”

T he practice of sports medicine in 2011 is fascinating. The advancement of disciplines like tissue engineering has expanded our armamentarium tremendously. Along with the typical orthopaedic toolbox of metal plates, rods, methylmethacrylate, and polyethylene comes synthetic membranes, biologic scaffolds, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and stem cell treatments. To some extent, we can already biolo...

Molecular Medicine

a little bit more detail. He started with the proposition that in the next 25 years there would be a change in medical research which will take investigation from 'whole patient physiology' to the analysis of diseases at the cellular and molecular level. In the mid-1970s some quite extraordinary things happened, techniques became available which made it possible to look at human genes in detail...

Molecular Science Modelling

Molecular biology in medicine.

Molecular biology has become an essential component in many branches of medical research. Recent technological advances promise a revolution in the way in which disease is detected, monitored and controlled in the patient. The purpose ofthis review is to highlight some of the areas in which this new technology has had the greatest impact. It is expected that this rapid pace of advance will cont...
