The Connection Between Inflammation And Cardiovascular Disease
2015-03-09 12:02:57| drugdiscoveryonline Home Page
By Mark Johnson, M.S. Senior Director of Surgery Heart disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in developed nations. Classically, cardiovascular disease (CVD) was thought to be a buildup of fat on the arterial wall that eventually blocks blood flow, leading to a heart attack or stroke. However, the process also involves inflammatory responses that impact the endothelial cell lining of the arteries. The source of this inflammation includes infectious agents, e.g., herpes viruses and Chlamydia pneumonia, as well as smoking, hyperglycemia, oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and sheer stress on the vessel wall as a result of hypertension.

The Role Of Swine As Preclinical Models For Cardiovascular Disease
2015-03-09 11:59:54| drugdiscoveryonline Home Page
By Mark Johnson, M.S. Senior Director of Surgery Classically, pharma, biotech, and device researchers have relied on rodent models to discover and validate disease targets and mechanisms, as well as for the preclinical development of therapeutics. However, the biology of rodents often fails to accurately predict outcomes in patients – perhaps not surprisingly, as mice are not simply miniature people, but have differences in immune function, lifespan, hematological function, regenerative capacity, and environment (sterile and controlled versus complex and dirty). This lack of translational validity has contributed, in part, to the high failure rate for drug development, particularly in the expensive clinical stage. The use of models in larger animals can help address some of these differences between rodents and human, particularly in cardiovascular disease.
