Download or read book Strengthening a Workforce for Innovative Regulatory Science in Therapeutics Development written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-04-04 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development and application of regulatory science - which FDA has defined as the science of developing new tools, standards, and approaches to assess the safety, efficacy, quality, and performance of FDA-regulated products - calls for a well-trained, scientifically engaged, and motivated workforce. FDA faces challenges in retaining regulatory scientists and providing them with opportunities for professional development. In the private sector, advancement of innovative regulatory science in drug development has not always been clearly defined, well coordinated, or connected to the needs of the agency. As a follow-up to a 2010 workshop, the IOM held a workshop on September 20-21, 2011, to provide a format for establishing a specific agenda to implement the vision and principles relating to a regulatory science workforce and disciplinary infrastructure as discussed in the 2010 workshop.
Download or read book Innovative Brain Tumor Therapy written by Gerardo Caruso and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite recent advances, therapeutic efforts have not been successful establishing a definitive strategy of treatment for brain gliomas, because of the presence of the blood-brain barrier. Innovative Brain Tumor Therapy presents a synopsis of the studies on nanoparticles as ideal devices for brain tumor treatment. Their nanometric size, electrostatic charge, and lipophilic characteristics allow them to penetrate into the brain tissue freely. Promising in-vitro results have been reported, but remain to be validated in humans. This title focuses on the blood-brain barrier pathophysiology in brain tumors, and the possibilities of overcoming this with nanoparticle-based systems. Relevant patents of nanoparticles used as drug delivery carriers are also reported, as well as future scenarios in nanoparticles and stem cells.
Download or read book Neuroinflammation Neurodegeneration and Metabolic Disease From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Innovation written by Fawaz Alzaid and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-09-05 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuroinflammation manifests as changes to cognition or behavior, or as altered function in peripheral tissues. Patients with metabolic diseases (e.g., diabetes, obesity) are more likely to suffer with neuroinflammation since the disrupted metabolism and chronic low-grade inflammation that accompany metabolic diseases extends to the nervous system. Neuroinflammation will then lead to functional impairment and progressive loss of neuronal structure, with neurodegeneration being the end result. Factors like chronic hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia and insulin resistance are candidate drivers of neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. The effects on the nervous system also contribute to worsening insulin resistance and a further loss of metabolic function and homeostasis in innervated peripheral tissues (e.g., liver, adipose tissue). Persistent metabolic stress predisposes patients to peripheral neuropathies, cognitive dysfunction, and development of neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease). Multiple associations link metabolic disease to neuropathology, targeting neuroinflammation to preserve neuronal integrity holds promise for managing metabolic diseases and associated neurological complications. Research on "Neuroinflammation, Neurodegeneration and Metabolic Disease: From Molecular Mechanisms to Therapeutic Innovation" is necessary to address several critical gaps in our understanding and treatment of metabolic diseases and of neuropathology. Firstly, while the role of systemic inflammation in metabolic diseases has been extensively studied, the specific impact of nervous system inflammation – neuroinflammation – and resulting neurodegeneration on these conditions is still an emerging field. Investigating the mechanisms by which neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration contribute to metabolic diseases can provide valuable insights into the pathogenesis and progression of these conditions.

Download or read book An Innovative Approach to Understanding and Treating Cancer written by Tomas Koltai and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2020-02-15 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New pH-Centric Paradigm In Cancer Research: From Etiopathogenesis To New Therapeutic Avenues describes one of the few characteristics of cancer that is not shared by normal tissues: the reversal or inversion of the pH gradient, when intracellular pH becomes alkaline and extracellular pH becomes acid. This is now recognised as one of the most selective and differential hallmarks of all cancer cells and tissues, being the opposite of the condition found in normal tissues and a potential target in order to achieve either a stable disease or even regression with no toxicity. The book discusses topics such as lactic acid and its transport system in the pH paradigm; mechanisms to decrease extra cellular pH and increase intracellular pH; NHE-1 activity in cancer; carbonic anhydrases; vacuolar ATPase proton pump; and the sodium-bicarbonate cotransporter system. Additionally, it discusses complementary pharmacological interventions and cellular acidification and extracellular alkalinisation as a new and integral approach to cancer treatment. Analyzes thoroughly the mechanisms that lead to the inversion of pH gradient in cancer tissues Summarizes almost 100 years of research on pH inversion in cancer in one single source, discussing the most relevant and updated researches in the field Proposes new efficient treatments against cancer using pH inversion mechanisms, either with new drugs like proton transport inhibitors and proton pump inhibitors (PTIs and PPIs) as well as with repurposed drugs
