چکیده
This multi-author book has been published in consonance with the growing interest in translational medicine (TM). It consists of 11 chapters. The first chapter introduces and explains the concept of TM. It takes us through the history of TM and analyses the obstacles, low output syndrome in terms of true medical innovations as well as its implications on big pharmaceutical companies. In short, it gives a snap shot of the present status of TM and the main challenges faced by it.

Translational Antidote Research: A Bedside to Bench Tale
Although antidote development should proceed in an orderly fashion from observation, to experimental and safety studies, to clinical trials, this sequence is not always precisely followed. The development of fomepizole as an antidote for toxic alcohol and glycol poisoning is an example of how this may not be the case. Interest in the development of fomepizole was spurred in the 1960s. Shortly t...
متن کاملPromising role for Gc-MAF in cancer immunotherapy: from bench to bedside
Immunotherapy has been used for years in many types of cancer therapy. Recently, cancer immunotherapy has focused on mechanisms which can enhance the development of cell-mediated immunity. Anticancer medications are administered to inhibit immunosuppressive factors such as nagalase enzyme, which is produced by neoplastic cells and destroys macrophage activating factor (Gc-MAF). Anti-neoplastics...
متن کاملMapping the translational science policy ‘valley of death’
Translating the knowledge from biomedical science into clinical applications that help patients has been compared to crossing a valley of death because of the many issues that separate the bench from the bedside and threaten to stall progress. But translation is also inhibited by a science policy environment with its own impediments. Mapping these policy impediments give a more complete picture...
متن کاملTranslational medicine: an engine of change for bringing new technology to community health.
Bringing a new medical technology from the lab to the clinic is a daunting prospect, but making sure that same innovation is available to the average patient has proven to be even more challenging. Translational medicine is a movement intended to help bench researchers and bedside clinicians learn from each other for the benefit of patients. This goal can best be accomplished if a patient-cente...
متن کاملTranslational research in pediatric pulmonary disease, 2017
As readers of this journal know, translational research is the application of basic science findings to improve clinical care; a process that was once called "bench-to-bedside" research. In my field of pediatric pulmonary disease, the rapid advancement of basic science understanding into improved clinical care has been, to use an appropriate term, breathtaking. In this perspective article, I wi...
