New Report Keeps You up to Date on Companies and Developments in Apoptosis in Oncology.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c48618) has announced the addition of Apoptosis in Oncology: Drug Pipeline Update 2007 to their offering.

Cancer cells frequently and possibly invariably possess apoptotic defects. In this context, apoptotic pathways provide exciting molecular targets for new therapeutic agents to specifically promote apoptosis of cancer cells. There are today over 190 apoptopic drugs in active development for the treatment of more than 40 different cancer indications. The field of apoptopic drug development in oncology is represented by more than 128 principal investigators plus their collaborators from more than 15 different countries.

Apoptosis in Oncology: Drug Pipeline Update provides extensive research and development information with global coverage, vital for any serious player in the field.

Read more below how Apoptosis in Oncology: Drug Pipeline Update is organized:

Investigators Includes more than 128 investigators

Drug name & Synonyms Lists commercial, generic and code names for drugs. In all more than 300 names

Developmental stage Contains more than 190 apoptopic drugs in active development or more than 466 clinical projects for the treatment of cancer:

* 28 projects in Phase III

* 200 projects in Phase II

* 140 projects in Phase I

* 90 projects in Preclinical

Cancer Indications Apoptopic drugs in development for over 40 cancer indications, with the five most targeted indications listed below:

* Breast cancer

* Leukemia

* Lung cancer

* Lymphoma

* Prostate cancer

Etc

Target A 120 different targets are presented. Examples:

* B-cell CLL/lymphoma 2

* BCL2-like 1

* breakpoint The location in a program used to temporarily halt the program for testing and debugging. Lines of code in a source program are marked for breakpoints. When those instructions are about to be executed, the program stops, allowing the programmer to examine the status of the program  cluster region

* carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule Cell Adhesion Molecules (CAMs) are proteins located on the cell surface involved with the binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix (ECM) in the process called cell adhesion.  5
