Targeted Therapeutics
Deciphering the molecular underpinnings of a disease is often only the first step toward developing an effective treatment. The path from target identification to a successful therapeutic can be filled with numerous hurdles that call for creative strategies. This Select highlights recent advances in using gene therapy and engineered cells to treat cancers and chronic heart disease. Their succes...
متن کاملPredicting Targeted Cancer Therapeutics
Motivation: Cancer is a complex and evolving disease, making it difficult to discover effective treatments. Traditional drug discovery relies on high-throughput screening on reductionist models in order to enable the testing of 105 or 106 compounds. These assays lack the complexity of the human disease. Functional assays overcome this limitation by testing drugs on human tumors, however they ca...
متن کاملTargeted cancer therapeutics.
Targeted therapies can be defined as drugs developed against a specific target based on its important biological function in cancer. In contrast, nontargeted therapies are drugs identified by phenotypic screening of natural products or chemical libraries against established cancer cell lines or preclinical animal models without a priori knowledge of the target. Targeted therapies are designed t...
متن کاملIntegrin Targeted Therapeutics
Integrins are heterodimeric, transmembrane receptors that function as mechanosensors, adhesion molecules and signal transduction platforms in a multitude of biological processes. As such, integrins are central to the etiology and pathology of many disease states. Therefore, pharmacological inhibition of integrins is of great interest for the treatment and prevention of disease. In the last two ...
متن کاملComplement-targeted therapeutics in periodontitis.
Periodontitis is a prevalent oral chronic inflammatory disease which, in severe forms, may exert a major impact on systemic health. Clinical and histological observations, as well as experimental animal studies, suggest involvement of the complement system in periodontitis. However, the precise roles of the various complement components and pathways in periodontitis have only recently started t...
