Abstract

Extensive review article on the state of the art of drugs used in diseases caused by protein misfolding (amyloidoses). Protein targets are classified according to the mechanism by which they contribute to the onset of the disease whereas drug molecules are grouped according to their respective protein target and their mechanism of action. E’ questa un’ampia review sulle malattie causate da anomalie del folding proteico e sullo stato dell’arte nell’ambito dell’uso di piccole molecole che possono modificare la cinetica di formazione delle fibre amiloidi o possono facilitarne il riassorbimento. Le proteine amiloidogeniche sono classificate in base al meccanismo con cui contribuiscono all’insorgenza della malattia di cui sono responsabili, mentre i farmaci di interesse sono raggruppati in base alla proteina bersaglio e al meccanismo d’azione.

Medical Research, Diagnosis & Treatment contains studies of existing and developing diagnostic and therapeutic techniques, as well as specific classes of clinical intervention. Resources in this category emphasize the difference between normal and disease states, with the ultimate goal of more effective diagnosis and intervention. Specific areas of interest include pathology and histochemical analysis of tissue, clinical chemistry and biochemical analysis of medical samples, diagnostic imaging, radiology and radiation, surgical research, anesthesiology and anesthesia, transplantation, artificial tissues, and medical implants. Resources focused on the disease, diagnosis, and treatment of specific organs or physiological systems are excluded and are covered in the Medical Research: Organs & Systems category.
