Synthetic Biology and Personalized Medicine
Synthetic biology, application of synthetic chemistry to biology, is a broad term that covers the engineering of biological systems with structures and functions not found in nature to process information, manipulate chemicals, produce energy, maintain cell environment and enhance human health. Synthetic biology devices contribute not only to improve our understanding of disease mechanisms, but...
متن کاملBiology, Social Environment, and Personalized Medicine.
These advances in the physical and biological sciences provided much needed explanations for how the body functioned in health and disease. Leading scientists such as Claude Bernard developed the concept of internal physiological balance, later named homeostasis by Walter Cannon [2, 3] . Edward Jenner introduced the method of vaccination, and Joseph Lister demonstrated the value of antisepsis [...
متن کاملSystems biology: personalized medicine for the future?
Systems biology is actively transforming the field of modern health care from symptom-based disease diagnosis and treatment to precision medicine in which patients are treated based on their individual characteristics. Development of high-throughput technologies such as high-throughout sequencing and mass spectrometry has enabled scientists and clinicians to examine genomes, transcriptomes, pro...
متن کاملEthical Debates on Synthetic Biology
Background: As an emerging interdisciplinary area of science with a multitude of potential facilities and applications, synthetic biology integrates different disciplines with one another ranging from basic science to engineering. This interdisciplinary branch therefore encompasses sciences that require specific development and ethical approaches. Materials and Methods: Science management princ...
متن کاملGlobal systems biology, personalized medicine and molecular epidemiology
One of the great challenges for 21st century medicine is to deliver effective therapies that are tailored to the exact biology or biological state of an individual to enable so-called ‘personalized healthcare solutions’. Ideally, this would involve a system of patient evaluation that would tell clinicians the correct drug, dose or intervention for any individual before the start of therapy. A p...
