Quantitative systems toxicology
The overarching goal of modern drug development is to optimize therapeutic benefits while minimizing adverse effects. However, inadequate efficacy and safety concerns remain to be the major causes of drug attrition in clinical development. For the past 80 years, toxicity testing has consisted of evaluating the adverse effects of drugs in animals to predict human health risks. The U.S. Environme...
متن کاملAflatoxin: a 50-year odyssey of mechanistic and translational toxicology.
Since their discovery 50 years ago, the aflatoxins have become recognized as ubiquitous contaminants of the human food supply throughout the economically developing world. The adverse toxicological consequences of these compounds in populations are quite varied because of a wide range of exposures leading to acute effects, including rapid death, and chronic outcomes such as hepatocellular carci...
متن کاملQuantitative relationships in delphinid neocortex
Possessing large brains and complex behavioral patterns, cetaceans are believed to be highly intelligent. Their brains, which are the largest in the Animal Kingdom and have enormous gyrification compared with terrestrial mammals, have long been of scientific interest. Few studies, however, report total number of brain cells in cetaceans, and even fewer have used unbiased counting methods. In th...
متن کاملQuantitative Stability / Flexibility Relationships
The figure shows that the DCM when applied to the helix-coil transition, and solved using the exact transfer matrix method, is able to fit to experimental data well. The system has some characteristics as cold denaturation even in a helix-system, but the transition is too shallow to be a strong signal of cold denaturation. Nevertheless, the DCM is able to fit to the experimental data with less ...
متن کاملQualitative versus Quantitative Evaluation of Scientists' Impact: A Medical Toxicology Tale
Evaluation of scientists working in a specific area of science is necessary, as they may strive for same limited resources, grants and academic promotions. One of the most common and accepted methods of assessing the performance and impact of a scientist is calculating the number of citations for their publications. However, such method suffer from certain shortcomings. It has become more and m...
