New technological innovations create an almost unlimited array of
domains in which drugs can act with increasing precision and less
side-effects. Novel tools give concise insights into gene, membrane and
protein interactions leading to the development of specific
'tailor-made' drugs. New Approaches to Drug Development reviews latest
discoveries in drug research and highlights some of the many therapeutic
possibilities whose growing applications can only be estimated in part.
This profound and extensive documentation of novel findings and outlooks
in drug development and delivery systems contains contributions of
leading scientists in the fields of genetics and molecular biology,
pharmacology, genetic engineering and psychiatry. Many of their
evaluations are not just restricted to specific diseases, but encompass
infections, coronary syndromes and syndromes associated with
dysfunctions on the genetical, cellular, physiological and metabolic
level in general...
