Download or read book New Mechanisms for Anti Cancer Drugs written by Ayaz Shahid and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-04-15 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is the second leading cause of death. Every year, many anticancer drug candidates are discovered and synthesized, but the major challenge lies in identifying, characterizing and evaluating their efficacy. The aim of this Research Topic, "New Mechanisms for Anti-Cancer Drugs" is to collect a group of publications focused on novel chemical compounds exhibiting new modes of actions and/or new target proteins to fulfill their cytotoxic activity on cancer cells. In this context, we will also be pleased to consider studies on drug repurposing, including approved, discontinued, and shelved drugs, when anti-cancer activity results from an unexpected mode of action.

This book was released on with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is still a major public health concern, and it is regarded as one of the leading causes of mortality globally. Despite significant advances in biotechnologies, developing practical and innovative small molecule drugs remains a difficult, time-consuming, and expensive task that necessitates collaborations from many experts in multidisciplinary fields such as computational biology, drug metabolism, and clinical research, among others. Therefore, new drug development procedures that save time and cost while increasing efficiency are in high demand. In silico screening in combination with molecular simulations, has become an increasingly important aspect of modern drug development processes. Understanding ligand-protein interaction is critical in all areas of drug design and discovery. Computational approaches, such as molecular docking, molecular dynamics simulations, pharmacophore modeling, and QSAR, etc. are efficient tools for obtaining insights on structure-function relationships for small molecules and/or medicinal compounds with target proteins, and are widely used in the identification and optimization of leads. The goal of the drug discovery process is to predict a drug candidate's metabolic fate in order to build a link between pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics and to identify the drug candidate's possible toxicity. The advancement of in silico techniques in recent years has enabled researchers to collect more trustworthy data. This Research Topic will focus on the use and application of computational methods that can aid in the drug design of medicinal compounds targeting various proteins for cancer management, which is a critical requirement in the pharmaceutical sectors.
Download or read book Pakistan s Experience with Formal Law written by Osama Siddique and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-06-20 with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law reform in Pakistan attracts such disparate champions as the Chief Justice of Pakistan, the USAID and the Taliban. Common to their equally obsessive pursuit of 'speedy justice' is a remarkable obliviousness to the historical, institutional and sociological factors that alienate Pakistanis from their formal legal system. This pioneering book highlights vital and widely neglected linkages between the 'narratives of colonial displacement' resonant in the literature on South Asia's encounter with colonial law and the region's postcolonial official law reform discourses. Against this backdrop, it presents a typology of Pakistani approaches to law reform and critically evaluates the IFI-funded single-minded pursuit of 'efficiency' during the last decade. Employing diverse methodologies, it proceeds to provide empirical support for a widening chasm between popular, at times violently expressed, aspirations for justice and democratically deficient reform designed in distant IFI headquarters that is entrusted to the exclusive and unaccountable Pakistani 'reform club'.
Download or read book Developing Sustainable Agriculture in Pakistan written by Iqrar Ahmad Khan and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 1119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture plays a pivotal role in the economy and development of Pakistan providing food to consumers, raw materials to industries, and a market for industrial goods. Unfortunately, agricultural production is stagnant due to several barriers including a fixed cropping pattern, reliance on a few major crops, a narrow genetic pool, poor seed quality, and a changing climate. In addition, the high cost of production, weak phytosanitary compliance mechanisms, and a lack of cold chain facilities makes Pakistan agriculturally uncompetitive in export markets. Despite all these issues, agriculture is the primary industry in Pakistan and small farmers continue to dominate the business. Small farmers grow crops for subsistence under a fixed cropping pattern and a holistic approach is required to develop agriculture to improve the livelihoods of the rural populace. This book presents an exhaustive look at agriculture in Pakistan. Chapters provide critical analyses of present trends, inadequacies in agriculture, strategic planning, improvement programs and policies while keeping in view the natural resources, plant- and animal-related agricultural production technologies, input supplies, population planning, migration and poverty, and balanced policies on finance, credit, marketing, and trade.

Download or read book Accessible Technology and the Developing World written by Michael Ashley Stein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-10-13 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When digital content and technologies are designed in a way that is inaccessible for persons with disabilities, they are locked out of commerce, education, employment, and access to government information. In developing areas of the world, as new technical infrastructures are being built, it is especially important to ensure that accessibility is a key design goal. Unfortunately, nearly all research on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) accessibility and innovation for persons with disabilities-whether from the legal, technical, or development fields-has focused on developed countries, with very little being written about developing world initiatives. Accessible Technology and the Developing World aims to change this, by bringing increased attention to ICT accessibility in developing areas. This book brings together a unique combination of contributors with diverse disciplinary backgrounds, including authors from well-known non-governmental organizations, significant United Nations entities, and universities in both the developing and developed world. Together, they present a unique and much needed review of this critical and growing area of work, and primarily address three core themes - the lack of attention given to innovations taking place in the developing world, the need to ensure that infrastructures in the Global South do not present barriers to people with disabilities, and the need to exercise caution when applying techniques from the Global North to the Global South that won't transfer effectively. This book will be of use to researchers in the fields of civil rights, development studies, disability rights, disability studies, human-computer interaction and accessibility, human rights, international law, political science, and universal design.
