Screening Potential Therapies

Screening potential therapies: lessons learned from new paradigms used in Parkinson disease.

In Parkinson Disease (PD) as well as in stroke research there is an urgent need to both optimize the use of resources (number of patients, costs, and time) and select potential effective neuroprotective agents. The processes used to identify and study new therapies for PD may be applicable to the search for new therapies in stroke. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NI...

Potential novel pharmacological therapies for myocardial remodelling.

Left ventricular (LV) remodelling remains an important treatment target in patients after myocardial infarction (MI) and chronic heart failure (CHF). Accumulating evidence has supported the concept that beneficial effects of current pharmacological treatment strategies to improve the prognosis in these patients, such as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition, angiotensin type 1 receptor...

Bone implant interface, osteolysis and potential therapies.

Potential of redox therapies in neurodegenerative disorders.

Recently significant advances have been made to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of neurodegenerative disorders to provide real therapeutic benefits. There is evidence that persistent inflammation and oxidative stress are the crucial factors of ongoing cell damage in neurodegenerative complex etiology. The variety of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are the cause of both axonal ...
