Ask the Expert

Featuring Sheng Ding — Expert in Stem Cell Chemical Biology
 
Current Question
Is it possible to guide the fate of embryonic stem cells using chemical compounds? Is there a predictive way to do this yet?
 

SD: There are a number of published works in which small molecules are used to control the fate of embryonic stem cells, including self-renewal and differentiation toward specific cell lineages... Read more

Gunther et al. target the coactivator binding groove of the androgen receptor as an alternative approach to treatment-resistant prostate cancer therapy. Read Article


 



Translation Initiation and Cancer
Article by Ghosh et al.
Published Online April 7, 2009

Aberrations in cap-dependent translation initiation can lead to many cancers. Ghosh et al. describe the first non-toxic small molecule able to inhibit a key process causing these cancers. Read Article


 

ACS Webcast on Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics for Chemists

ACS Chemical Biology author Terry Kenakin presents the fundamentals of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics as they apply to the chemical structure of drugs. There will be specific discussion of the role of medicinal chemistry in the drug discovery process; how chemical structure affects the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME properties) of drugs; and drug affinity and efficacy (Pharmacodynamics).
