Pharmacogenomics: translating functional genomics into rational therapeutics.
Genetic polymorphisms in drug-metabolizing enzymes, transporters, receptors, and other drug targets have been linked to interindividual differences in the efficacy and toxicity of many medications. Pharmacogenomic studies are rapidly elucidating the inherited nature of these differences in drug disposition and effects, thereby enhancing drug discovery and providing a stronger scientific basis f...
متن کاملHypertrophic cardiomyopathy: Translating cellular cross talk into therapeutics
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common inherited heart disease with serious adverse outcomes, including heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. The discovery that mutations in sarcomere protein genes cause HCM has enabled the development of mouse models that recapitulate clinical manifestations of disease. Studies in these models have provided unexpected insights into the b...
متن کاملThe mighty mice prove pluripotency for iPSCs.
By injecting induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) into tetraploid blastocysts to generate live pups, two groups in China demonstrated that the injected cells are as pluripotent as embryonic stem cells, i.e. capable of giving rise to every cell in the newborn mice. This achievement validates iPS technology for regenerative medicine.
متن کاملVenoms as a platform for human drugs: translating toxins into therapeutics.
INTRODUCTION An extraordinarily diverse range of animals have evolved venoms for predation, defence, or competitor deterrence. The major components of most venoms are peptides and proteins that are often protease-resistant due to their disulfide-rich architectures. Some of these toxins have become valuable as pharmacological tools and/or therapeutics due to their extremely high specificity and ...
متن کاملTranslating learning into practice.
Y ou may have noticed that, at the end of the FPM CME quiz, we always ask, “Has anything you have read in the last few issues of FPM led you to change anything in your practice?” It’s gratifying to see that about 80 percent of respondents say yes, because we always strive to publish articles that have direct practical application and include tools that make implementation easier. Given FPM’s ...
