A study published by scientists at University of Massachusetts Medical School and the University of Alabama at Birmingham provides insight into the mechanism
of action of the drug ataluren, which is showing promise in treating Duchenne muscular dystrophy and cystic fibrosis.
His research focuses on the identification and validation of mycobacterial proteins as drug targets, and elucidating mechanism
of action of drugs active against Mycobacteria.
The system can be used by researchers as a model to elucidate how viral infections contribute to exacerbations, gain insight into
mechanism of action of drugs, and could potentially help identify new therapeutic targets.
Jordi Mestres, coordinator of the IMIM and UPF research group on Systems Pharmacology at the Biomedical Informatics Program (GRIB) states «With this study we have contributed to complementing the detection of these quite unstable fragments, with information on the mechanism
of action of the drug, based on three aspects: similarity to other medicines, prediction of their pharmacological profile, and interference with specific biological pathways.
Analyses of the differences in the mechanisms
of action of both drugs may provide a blueprint for the development of new adjuvant treatments for LNB.
I was quizzed numerous times, including cat breeds, the name of specific clinical signs, differential lists and treatment plans, mechanism
of action of drugs, patient's quality of life, etc..
