Abstract
This commentary is an introduction to a special issue on "Latest Developments in the Treatment of Inflammation". It outlines some key events in the inflammatory response to infection or injury and describes some of the important drug targets of relevance to the succeeding articles, which survey inhibitors of these targets as prospective or current antiinflammatory drugs. It also highlights important limitations in the validation of inflammatory drug targets, and in the rate of discovery and development of new antiinflammatory drugs.

Chalcogen-modified nucleic acid analogues
Chalcogen-modified nucleosides, nucleotides and oligonucleotides have been of great interest to scientific research for many years. The replacement of oxygen in the nucleobase, sugar or phosphate backbone by chalcogen atoms (sulfur, selenium, tellurium) gives these biomolecules unique properties resulting from their altered physical and chemical properties. The continuing interest in ...read more
