Interferon-omega: Current status in clinical applications

Mineralized Collagen: Rationale, Current Status, and Clinical Applications

This paper presents a review of the rationale for the in vitro mineralization process, preparation methods, and clinical applications of mineralized collagen. The rationale for natural mineralized collagen and the related mineralization process has been investigated for decades. Based on the understanding of natural mineralized collagen and its formation process, many attempts have been made to...

18F-Fluoroestradiol PET: Current Status and Potential Future Clinical Applications.

Estrogen receptor (ER) expression in breast cancer is associated with a more favorable prognosis and is necessary for a response to endocrine therapies. Traditionally, ER expression is assessed by in vitro assays on biopsied tumor tissue. However, recent advances have allowed in vivo evaluation of ER expression with (18)F-fluoroestradiol ((18)F-FES) PET. Clinical studies have demonstrated the u...

Clinical applications of PET/MRI: current status and future perspectives.

Fully integrated positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners have been available for a few years. Since then, the number of scanner installations and published studies have been growing. While feasibility of integrated PET/MRI has been demonstrated for many clinical and preclinical imaging applications, now those applications where PET/MRI provides a clear benef...

Virbagen Omega, INN-interferon

Basis and Clinical Applications of Interferon

Interferon (IFN) is an antiviral substance that was discovered about 50 years ago. The advance in the basic research of IFN has revealed the action mechanism of its antiviral effect at a molecular level and provided wide clinical applications. It is roughly divided into 3 types: IFN, IFN, and IFN. IFNis related to IFN, but IFNis completely different. Any type of IFN is a (glyco) protein with a ...
