Nanobody: The “Magic Bullet” for Molecular Imaging?
Molecular imaging involves the non-invasive investigation of biological processes in vivo at the cellular and molecular level, which can play diverse roles in better understanding and treatment of various diseases. Recently, single domain antigen-binding fragments known as 'nanobodies' were bioengineered and tested for molecular imaging applications. Small molecular size (~15 kDa) and suitable ...
متن کاملBeyond the magic bullet
that scholars and medical men alike have been fooled by a series of attributions devised by Dioscorides and Artemidorus Capito c. A.D. 125 and given greater and almost unshakeable authority by the verbose, argumentative, and persuasive Galen.

For an acute attack of gout, the currently available drugs—non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, colchicine and corticosteroids, seem to do a pretty good job for the majority of patients in relieving the...
متن کاملA Magic Bullet for Atherosclerosis?
The E2F family of transcription factors (E2Fs) plays an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation and apoptosis and includes 6 structurally related E2F proteins (E2F1 through 6). E2Fs function as heterodimers with members of the DP family (DP-1 and DP-2) to transactivate or repress gene expression and play important roles in regulating both cell proliferation and antiproliferative ...
متن کاملMagnetic Bead - Magic Bullet
Microfluidics is assumed to be one of the leading and most promising areas of research since the early 1990s. In microfluidic systems, small spherical magnetic particles with superparamagnetic properties, called magnetic beads, play an important role in the design of innovative methods and tools, especially in bioanalysis and medical sciences. The intention of this review paper is to address ma...
