Abstract
In recent years, novel therapeutic approaches have revolutionized the landscape of medicine, offering promising avenues for the cure of various diseases. The novel approaches explore advancements in gene therapy in pharmaceuticals, immunotherapy, RNA-based therapeutics, cell-based therapies, and targeted tumor therapies. Gene therapy has emerged as a groundbreaking approach, leveraging genetic material to cure or prevent diseases by targeting defective genes. In pharmaceuticals, gene therapy holds immense potential for addressing genetic disorders, offering a personalized approach to medicine. Immunotherapy, on the other hand, harnesses the body's immune system to combat diseases, including tumors, by enhancing immune responses or directly targeting malignant cells. RNA-based therapeutics have gained prominence due to their ability to modulate gene expression, offering targeted and precise interventions for a wide range of diseases. Cell-based therapies involve the transplantation or manipulation of cells to restore or enhance their function, offering innovative solutions for diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders and cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, targeted tumor therapies have revolutionized tumor cure by specifically targeting molecular alterations driving tumor growth and minimizing damage to healthy cells. Overall, these novel therapeutic approaches represent a paradigm shift in medicine, offering tailored and precise interventions with the potential to significantly improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
期刊介绍:
Current Protein & Peptide Science publishes full-length/mini review articles on specific aspects involving proteins, peptides, and interactions between the enzymes, the binding interactions of hormones and their receptors; the properties of transcription factors and other molecules that regulate gene expression; the reactions leading to the immune response; the process of signal transduction; the structure and function of proteins involved in the cytoskeleton and molecular motors; the properties of membrane channels and transporters; and the generation and storage of metabolic energy. In addition, reviews of experimental studies of protein folding and design are given special emphasis. Manuscripts submitted to Current Protein and Peptide Science should cover a field by discussing research from the leading laboratories in a field and should pose questions for future studies. Original papers, research articles and letter articles/short communications are not considered for publication in Current Protein & Peptide Science.
