This book was released on 2024-07-24 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present, according to UNESCO, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological sex and gender have a tremendous impact on the efficacy and safety of pharmacological interventions in virtually every disease state. This book presents a comprehensive and up-to-date overview on how sex-specific information is guiding the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting men and women, as well as of disease states that disproportionally affects women. Experts in various fields discuss both preclinical and clinical research that is contributing to a better understanding of the impact of sex in the presentation, etiology, treatment, and disease outcomes. Also discussed are the challenges encountered in implementing this growing body of knowledge into practice, as well as possible avenues to recognize and reduce health disparities between men and women so that therapeutic interventions are tailored and improved.

Download or read book Network Pharmacology written by Shao Li and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-29 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces “network pharmacology” as an emerging frontier subject of systematic drug research in the era of artificial intelligence and big data. Network Pharmacology is an original subject of fusion system biology, bioinformatics, network science and other related disciplines. It emphasizes on starting from the overall perspective of the system level and biological networks, the analysis of the laws of molecular association between drugs and their treatment objects, reveals the systematic pharmacological mechanisms of drugs, and guides the research and development of new drugs and clinical diagnosis and treatment. After it was proposed, network pharmacology has been paid attention by researchers, and it has been rapidly developed and widely used. In order to systematically reveal the biological basis of diagnosis and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine, we proposed a new concept of "network target" for the first time, which has become the core theory of "network pharmacology". The core principle of a network target is to construct a biological network that can be used to decipher complex diseases. The network is then used as the therapeutic target, to which multicomponent remedies are applied. This book mainly includes four parts: 1) The concept and theory of network pharmacology; 2) Common analysis methods, databases and software in network pharmacological research; 3) Typical cases of traditional Chinese medicine modernization and modern drug research based on network pharmacology; 4) Network pharmacology practice process based on drugs and diseases.

Download or read book Advances in Novel Pharmacotherapeutics and Drug Discovery Computational Experimental Translational and Clinical Models written by Jorge G. Farias and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-08-22 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing incidence of disease, especially in developed and developing countries, demands the evaluation of potential unexplored pharmaceutic resources and releases. The pharmaceutical industry has historically provided innovative therapeutic solutions to different medical conditions, through biological and biosimilar medicines with pharmaceutical potential, which may include monoclonal antibodies, cytokines, growth factors hormones, enzymes, vaccines, or blood products. However, due to pharmaceutical spending accounts for a large share of health spending worldwide, and the increasing demand for chemical diversity in pharmaceutical screening programs, and their benefits in terms of increasing life expectancy and improving quality of life, identifying novel therapeutic drug technology is an exciting approach.

Download or read book Integrative Pharmacology based Research on Traditional Medicine Methodologies Medical and Pharmacological Applications written by Hai Yu Xu and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-09-19 with total page 1019 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ntegrative Pharmacology can be used to determine the multi-pharmacological effects of traditional medicines such as traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Kampo, Sa-sang, Ayurveda, etc.). Through qualitative and quantitative pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic (PK-PD) correlations among multi-constituents and multi-targets, integrating chemical profiling, ADME/PK processes, molecular network calculation and resulting experimental validation, the use of Integrative Pharmacology has become widespread. The data has provided a novel paradigm to evaluate the druggability of bioactive ingredients of herbs or formulae, to decipher the pharmacological mechanisms of drug action and to screen potentially new indications for approved drugs and previously unidentified adverse events. On this basis, Integrative Pharmacology may offer an effective way to test the potential scientific basis for traditional medicines and to assess what roles of traditional medicine can and cannot play in pharmaceuticals.
