Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink?
Biofilms are emerging as an increasing problem as medical technology advances. Dental practice is no exception and interest in the role of biofilms within dental units as a possible source of cross-infection is intensifying. It is difficult to quantitate the risks associated with aerosolised bacteria for the majority of patients seen in general practice. However, it seems prudent to eliminate t...
متن کاملDrug targets for amyloidosis.
The amyloid hypothesis indicates that protein misfolding is at the root of many neurodegenerative disorders. Small molecules targeting the formation, clearance, aggregation to toxic oligomers or SOD (superoxide dismutase)-like activities of Abeta (amyloid beta-peptide) 1-42 have provided encouraging candidates for AD (Alzheimer's disease) medicines in animal models, although none have yet prove...

ANTI-HIV DRUG TARGETS HIV is a retrovirus, with a simple structure described in Box 1, and illustrated in Figure 1. It contains genes coding for a number of unique viral enzymes, required at different stages of the virus’s life cycle (see Box 2 and Figure 2). One of these is reverse transcriptase, required to make copies of the viral genes once it has infected human cells. Another is HIV protea...
متن کاملProteases as drug targets.
The effective management of AIDS with HIV protease inhibitors, or the use of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors to treat hypertension, indicates that proteases do make good drug targets. On the other hand, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) inhibitors from several companies have failed in both cancer and rheumatoid arthritis clinical trials. Mindful of the MMP inhibitor experience, this chapt...
متن کاملConsciousness: Here, There but Not Everywhere
The science of consciousness has made great strides by focusing on the behavioral and neuronal correlates of experience. However, correlates are not enough if we are to understand even basic neurological fact; nor are they of much help in cases where we would like to know if consciousness is present: patients with a few remaining islands of functioning cortex, pre-term infants, non-mammalian sp...
