Targeting Lipid Rafts, Seeking Cures for Diseases
The components and ratio of lipids species assembled into biomembrane is another essential factor contributing to the specific behaviors of lipid rafts. From two lipid metabolism genes mutation models, we understood that the nature of biomembrane are very different between mammals and Drosophila. NeutralCeramidase (N-CDase) nude mice do not have significant phenotype, even the N-CDase nude MEFs...
متن کاملFinding Cures for Tropical Diseases: Is Open Source The Answer?
Computation plays an increasing role in biology. We argue that a new approach, which we call “open source drug discovery,” would significantly reduce the cost of discovering, developing, and manufacturing cures for tropical diseases. First, it would give hundreds of scientists a practical way to donate urgently needed manpower. Second, open source discoveries would not be patented. This would p...

متن کاملConverting Cancer Therapies into Cures: Lessons from Infectious Diseases
During the past decade, cancer drug development has shifted from a focus on cytotoxic chemotherapies to drugs that target specific molecular alterations in tumors. Although these drugs dramatically shrink tumors, the responses are temporary. Research is now focused on overcoming drug resistance, a frequent cause of treatment failure. Here we reflect on analogous challenges faced by researchers ...
متن کاملDiseases in the ancient Greek world
Perhaps the best tribute I am in a position to make to Professor McKeown, who died in June of 1988, is simply to praise this, presumably his final book. I find that easy to do because it is obviously the product of deep reading and years of pondering, but I would like to take one step more.
