Abstract
Goals of therapy for inflammatory bowel disease have advanced beyond symptom control to the normalization of biomarkers of inflammation, and mucosal healing in particular, with the expectation that this will change the natural history of these diseases. Concurrent with higher treatment expectations has come an expanded therapeutic armamentarium to achieve these goals, and a greater ability to optimize each therapeutic class to maximize therapeutic benefits and minimize unnecessary treatment failures. In addition to these advances has come the evolution of therapeutic drug monitoring which is increasingly being utilized to optimize the use of immunomodulators and biologic therapies in particular. This review will outline the principals of optimization of the conventional medical therapies available to the clinician today.
Keywords: Aminosalicylates, allopurinol, anti-tumor necrosis factor agents, corticosteroids, thiopurines, thioguanine nucleotides, therapeutic drug monitoring.

Drug-Targeted Approach with Polymer Nanocomposites for Improved Therapeutics
Polymer nanocomposites have been recognized as an advanced and cutting-edge technique in drug targeting administration. These materials combine the unique features of nanoparticles with the adaptability of polymers to produce highly personalized drug administration devices. Integrating nanoparticles containing pharmaceuticals into a polymer matrix enables researchers to regulate the rates at ...read more
New drug therapy for eye diseases
Eyesight is one of the most critical senses, accounting for over 80% of our perceptions. Our quality of life might be significantly affected by eye disease, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye, etc. Although the development of microinvasive ocular surgery reduces surgical complications and improves overall outcomes, medication therapy is ...read more
RNA Molecules in the Treatment of Human Diseases
Messenger and non-coding RNAs, including long and small transcripts, are mediators of gene expression. Gene expression at the RNA level shows significant aberrations in human diseases, including cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, cardiovascular diseases, and neurological disorders. Human transcripts serve either as biomarkers of diagnosis, prognosis, prediction of treatment response, and/or therapy ...read more
Therapeutic Chemical and RNA Design with Artificial Intelligence
Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) has emerged as a fundamental component of modern drug discovery. Molecular docking facilitates virtual screening on a large scale through structural simulations. However, traditional CADD approaches face significant limitations, as they can only screen known compounds from existing libraries. PubChem, as the most widely used chemical ...read more
