Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a major mediator in innate immunity and inflammation and a potential therapeutic target in multiple inflammatory, infectious and autoimmune diseases including cancer. Current therapeutic strategies for target ...
Clinical studies provide overwhelming evidence for the importance of proteolytic imbalance and the upregulation of diverse protease classes in diseases such as cancer and arthritis. While the complex nature of proteolytic networks has hampered the developm ...
The recent years have witnessed significant progress in the development of new drug candidates for the treatment of TB. While many of these are now in clinical trials, continued research is needed in order to sustain the drug discovery pipeline and meet th ...
All processes associated with cellular function are likely to contribute to disease. Particularly in the cancer field, most major therapeutic innovations have originated from the elucidation of basic molecular mechanisms by academic researchers. Recent bre ...
Drug delivery is one of the most common clinical routines in hospitals, and is critical to patients’ health and recovery. It includes a decision making process in which a medical doctor decides the amount (dose) and frequency (dose interval) on the basis o ...
HEMA hydrogels are hydrophobic biocompatible hydrogel with high mechanical and viscoelastic properties, which are widely used in biomedical application including drug delivery systems. The mechanical properties and permeability of these hydrogels can be tu ...
For several decades, hepatotoxicity has been a major issue for drug development.Recently, three-dimensional (3D) cell culture has been believed to improve cell drug response accuracy. However important limitations such as slow production, lack of cell dens ...
Cell-based assays for the inhibition of viral infections most commonly couple a positive signal (e.g., an increase in fluorescence) to the infection itself and not to its inhibition. When performing drug screens, compounds decreasing the signal are therefo ...
Nanopharmaceuticals or nanomedicines are defined as nanometer sized (1 to 1000 nm) complex systems, consisting of at least two components, one of which being the biologically active moiety such as a drug, peptide, protein or nucleotide. Several nano-sized ...
Non-replicating or dormant cells of Mycobacterium tuberculosis constitute a challenge to tuberculosis (TB) therapy because of their tolerance or phenotypic resistance to most drugs. Here, we propose a simple model for testing drugs against non-growing cell ...
