At a ceremony announcing the completion of the first draft of the human genome in 2000, President Bill Clinton declared, "I believe one of the great truths to emerge from this triumphant expedition inside the human genome is that in genetic terms, all human beings, regardless of race, are more than 99.9 percent the same." Yet despite this declaration of unity, biomedical research has focused increasingly on mapping that.1 percent of difference, particularly as it relates to race.
This trend is exemplified by the drug BiDil. Approved by the FDA in 2005 as the first drug with a race-specific indication on its label, BiDil was originally touted as a pathbreaking therapy to treat heart failure in black patients and help underserved populations. Upon closer examination, however, Jonathan Kahn reveals a far more complex story. At the most basic level, BiDil became racial through legal maneuvering and commercial pressure as much as through medical understandings of how the drug worked.
Using BiDil as a central case study, Kahn broadly examines the legal and commercial imperatives driving the expanding role of race in biomedicine, even as scientific advances in genomics could render the issue irrelevant. He surveys the distinct politics informing the use of race in medicine and the very real health disparities caused by racism and social injustice that are now being cast as a mere function of genetic difference. Calling for a more reasoned approach to using race in biomedical research and practice, Kahn asks readers to recognize that, just as genetics is a complex field requiring sensitivity and expertise, so too is race, particularly in the field of biomedicine.

Описание: Understanding the molecular mechanisms of cancer is the key for transforming cancer medicine. Seen in several cancers is a substantial proportion of human genes showing alternative splicing and mis-regulation of Pre-mRNA splicing.
Post-genomic Approaches in Cancer and Nano Medicine further investigates these matters. The first few chapters provide an update on the role of genomics in understanding alternative splicing and targets in cancer pathogenesis. Advances and prospects in applications of nanotechnology for cancer prevention, detection, and treatment are a promising field of research. The subsequent chapters provide insights on how nanotechnology-based therapeutics are moving toward revolutionizing cancer and infectious disease treatment by minimizing toxicity and facilitating targeted delivery of drugs.
Technical topics discussed in the book include: - Alternative splicing and cancer - Cancer imaging - Nanomaterials in infectious diseases - Nanomedicine in oxidative stress and cancer - Nanoparticle based drug delivery systems

Описание: In 2001 the Human Genome Project succeeded in mapping the DNA of humans. This landmark accomplishment launched the field of genomics, the integrated study of all the genes in the human body and the related biomedical interventions that can be tailored to benefit a person's health. Today genomics, part of a larger movement toward personalized medicine, is poised to revolutionize health care. By cross-referencing an individual's genetic sequence -- their genome -- against known elements of "Big Data," elements of genomics are already being incorporated on a widespread basis, including prenatal disease screening and targeted cancer treatments. With more innovations soon to arrive at the bedside, the promise of the genomics revolution is limitless. This entry in the What Everyone Needs to Know series offers an authoritative resource on the prospects and realities of genomics and personalized medicine. As this science continues to alter traditional medical paradigms, consumers are faced with additional options and more complicated decisions regarding their health care. This book provides the essential information everyone needs.

Описание: Over the past decade, genome sequencing projects and associated efforts have facilitated the discovery of several novel disease targets and the approval of several innovative drugs. To further exploit this data for human health and disease, there is a need to understand the genome data itself in detail, discover novel targets, and understand their role in physiological pathways and associated diseases with the aim of translating these discoveries to clinical and preventive medicine. It is equally important to understand the labors and limitations in integrating clinical phenotypes with genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic approaches. Post-genomic Approaches to Drug and Vaccine Development focuses on some key advances in the field.
Technical topics discussed in the book include: - Drug discovery - Target identification and prioritization - Hypothesis driven multi-target drug design - Genomics in vaccine development - Gene regulatory networks - Vaccine design and development - Prediction of drug side effects in silico
