Cellectar molecules

Cellectar molecules are designed to "find, treat and follow"™ malignancies through the delivery of radiopharmaceuticals in a novel, highly selective way. Cellectar is a radiopharmaceutical company that designs and develops products to detect, treat and monitor a wide variety of human cancers.

oncology imaging agents

Medical imaging technologies have undergone explosive growth over the past few decades and now play a central role in clinical oncology. But the truly transformative power of imaging in the clinical management of cancer patients lies ahead. Today, imaging is at a crossroads, with molecularly targeted imaging agents expected to broadly expand the capabilities of conventional anatomical imaging methods. Molecular imaging will allow clinicians to not only see where a tumor is located in the body, but also to visualize the expression and activity of specific molecules (e.g., proteases and protein kinases) and biological processes (e.g., apoptosis, angiogenesis, and metastasis) that influence tumor behavior and/or response to therapy. This information is expected to have a major impact on cancer detection, individualized treatment, and drug development, as well as our understanding of how cancer arises.

cardiology imaging agents

Nuclear cardiac imaging lets your physician determine the overall strength and function of your heart, whether you have blocked arteries or if you suffered a previous heart attack.

Typically, nuclear studies involve injecting you with a small amount of radioactive imaging agent and monitoring the progress of the agent through your heart and vascular system using a special type of camera. Two of the more common procedures are the thallium stress test and the radionuclide ventriculogram (RVG). The RVG study is also called a multi-gated acquisition scan, or MUGA.

diabetes molecular imaging agents

molecular imaging can be broadly defined as the in vivo characterization and measurement of biologic processes at the cellular and molecular level. In contradistinction to “classical” diagnostic imaging, it sets forth to probe the molecular abnormalities that are the basis of disease rather than to image the end effects of these molecular alterations. While the underlying biology represents a new arena for many radiologists, concomitant efforts such as development of novel agents, signal amplification strategies, and imaging technologies clearly dovetail with prior research efforts of our specialty. Radiologists will play a leading role in directing developments of this embryonic but burgeoning field. This article presents some recent developments in molecular sciences and medicine and shows how imaging can be used, at least experimentally, to assess specific molecular targets. In the future, specific imaging of such targets will allow earlier detection and characterization of disease, earlier and direct molecular assessment of treatment effects, and a more fundamental understanding of the disease process.

ABSTRACT
Abstract: Thiamine, ascorbic acid and their combination were investigated for their ability to prevent or treat the experimental lead intoxication in rats. The combination of the two vitamins was most effective in reducing the lead induced inhibition in the activity of blood δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase, elevation in the level of blood zinc protoporphyrin and the urinary excretion of δ-aminolevulinic acid and the uptake of lead in blood, liver and kidney. The combined treatment post lead exposure was also most effective in restoring the lead induced biochemical alterations and mobilizing lead from the tissues. The order of effectiveness was, thiamine + ascorbic acid < ascorbic acid < thiamine. The lead induced changes in brain biogenic amines and the brain concentration of lead remained unaffected by these vitamins.

Molecular medicine is a broad field, where physical, chemical, biological and medical techniques are used to describe molecular structures and mechanisms, identify fundamental molecular and genetic errors of disease, and to develop molecular interventions to correct them. The molecular medicine perspective emphasizes cellular and molecular phenomena and interventions rather than the previous conceptual and observational focus on patients and their organs.[1]

In November, 1949, with the seminal paper, "Sickle Cell Anemia, a Molecular Disease",[2] in Science magazine, Linus Pauling, Harvey Itano and their collaborators laid the groundwork for establishing the field of molecular medicine.[3] In 1956, Roger J. Williams wrote Biochemical Individuality,[4] a prescient book about genetics, prevention and treatment of disease on a molecular basis, and nutrition which is now variously referred to as individualized medicine[5] and orthomolecular medicine.[6] Another paper in Science by Pauling in 1968,[7] introduced and defined this view of molecular medicine that focuses on natural and nutritional substances used for treatment and prevention.

Published research and progress was slow until the 1970s' "biological revolution" that introduced many new techniques and commercial applications.[8]

Molecular medicine is a new scientific discipline in European universities. Combining contemporary medical studies with the field of biochemistry, it offers a bridge between the two subjects. At present only a handful of universities offer the course to undergraduates. With a degree in this discipline the graduate is able to pursue a career in medical sciences, scientific research, laboratory work and postgraduate medical degrees
