Abstract
Significant advances have been made in the field of peptide chemistry, especially in the design of synthetic peptide immunogens which has led to new concepts and strategies for human vaccine development. This article reviews some of these technological advances and approaches to vaccine design including the multiple antigenic peptide system, the lipid polylysine core peptide system, the polymerization of peptides into multivalent immunogens and self adjuvanting synthetic peptide-based immunogens.
Keywords: receptor (TCR), antigen presenting cells (APC), immunogens, B-cell epitopes

Drugs and Mitochondria
Mitochondria play a central role in the life and death of cells. They are not merely the center for energy metabolism but are also the headquarters for different catabolic and anabolic processes, calcium fluxes, and various signaling pathways. Mitochondria maintain homeostasis in the cell by interacting with reactive oxygen-nitrogen species ...read more
Mitochondria as a Therapeutic Target in Metabolic Disorders
Mitochondria are the primary site of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production in mammalian cells. Moreover, these organelles are an important source of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in virtually any nucleated cell type. The modulation of a myriad of cellular signaling pathways depends on the mitochondrial physiology. Mitochondrial dysfunction is observed ...read more
