Pharmacology is immensely broad and covers large areas of physiology, biochemistry and toxicology which are concerned with the effects of chemicals on living organisms. It is a fast developing science. Object of pharmacology is mainly to provide such scientific data from which any one can choose a drug treatment for proven efficacy and safety. Much of the recent progress in the application of drugs to disease problems can be ascribed to the pharmaceutical industry and specifically to big pharma, the multibillion-dollar corporations that specialize in drug discovery and development. These entities deserve great credit for making possible many of the therapeutic advances that we enjoy today. These companies are uniquely skilled in exploiting discoveries from academic and governmental laboratories and translating these basic findings into commercially successful therapeutic chronicles. Such chronicles come at a price and the escalating cost of drugs has become a significant contributor to the inflationary increase in the cost of health care. Pharmacology field is growing not only in popularity but in career openings as well. Jobs in pharmacology are growing and expanding in almost all areas of the country. Today, there are many options for those pursuing a pharmacology degree including pharmacy technician, public relations officers, researchers, teaching, R & D, CROs and many more. Therefore, in present informative article, we have compiled and enlisted some major timelines in pharmacology, which will helpful to uplifting the knowledge of all persons relates to pharmaceutical, medical, chemical, life and basic sciences etc....
Nanoparticles in form of tiny spheres and rods of gold are useful tools in modern medicine. They have been incorporated into miniature drug-delivery systems to control blood clotting, and they are also the main components of cancer diagnostic devices and as nanomedicine (gold nanorods) for treating malignant tumors. The gold spheres are sticky, so gold nanoparticles can be engineered to attract specific biomolecules so that they could boost up amount of protein produced during in-vitro translation. Gold nanosphere-DNA complex is designed to bind to a specific m-RNA molecule, which will be translated into a specific protein. Gold nanosphere-DNA complex can help in determining protein function by observing cell behavior; when the protein has been removed or can also stop the production of harmful proteins. Gold nanoparticles are cellular nanomedicine showing promising results in cancer therapy....
