Описание: This book provides an update on sigma receptors, and summarizes recent advances in the medicinal chemistry, molecular biology, and cell biology of sigma receptors. It describes the functional effects mediated by these receptors and the potential clinical implications of these actions. This information is put in a historical perspective to help newcomers to the field successfully navigate the confusing early history surrounding these proteins, and provides a launching point from which future studies and research directions can easily be developed. Major advances in our understanding of sigma receptors have been made during the past few years. This book will facilitate exciting new research that could lead to significant advances in the treatment of neurologic, psychiatric, cardiovascular, immunologic, and gastrointestinal disorders through a better understanding of sigma receptors.

Описание: Despite significant advances in cancer treatment and measures of neoplastic progression, drug effect (or early detection, overall cancer incidence has increased, pharmacodynamic markers), and markers that measure cancer-associated morbidity is considerable, and overall prognosis as well as predict responses to specific therapy. cancer survival has remained relatively flat over the past All these biomarkers have the potential to greatly augment several decades (1,2). However, new technology the development of successful chemoprevention therapies, allowing exploration of signal transduction pathways, but two specific types of biomarkers will have the most identification of cancer-associated genes, and imaging of immediate impact on successful chemopreventive drug tissue architecture and molecular and cellular function is development—those that measure the risk of developing increasing our understanding of carcinogenesis and cancer invasive life-threatening disease, and those whose mo- progression. This knowledge is moving the focus of cancer lation can “reasonably predict” clinical benefit and, therapeutics, including cancer preventive treatments, to therefore, serve as surrogate endpoints for later-occurring drugs that take advantage of cellular control mechanisms clinical disease. Thus far, the biomarker that best measures to selectively suppress cancer progression. these two phenomena is intraepithelial neoplasia (IEN) Carcinogenesis is now visualized as a multifocal, because it is a near obligate precursor to cancer.

Описание: Over the last 30 years, our understanding of a receptors has undergone a colossal evolution. They began as theoretical entities, then progressed to enigmatic receptors, and finally to identified proteins with important biological functions. Since the first book on a receptors was published in 1994, there have been many significant advances in the field. We now know that o receptors subserve many critical functions in the body and recent studies indicate that they are promising drug development targets for a host of neurological, psychiatric, cardiovascular, ophthalmological, immunological, and gastrointestinal disorders. This book provides a timely update on the medicinal chemistry, cell biology, and clinical implications of a receptors. It puts the information in a historical perspective to help new comers to the field successfully navigate the confusing early history surrounding these proteins, and it provides a launching point from which future studies and research directions can easily be developed. The full impact of a receptors on biological function has yet to be determined. The existing gaps in our knowledge base offer untold opportunities for future research. It is our hope that the information contained in this book will stimulate new, exciting research on a receptors and ultimately lead to innovative insights into basic biological mechanisms and novel therapeutic advances.
