Modern treatment for RA includes the so called "biologic" therapy, which is based on recombinant proteins that modify the biologic processes.
Phages have been instrumental in the development of molecular biology, their use as typing tools for bacterial pathogens continues today and recently there has been a resurgence of interest in phage intervention to control pathogens, so called 'bacteriophage therapy'.
Treatment of cancer as a whole has evolved over recent years with the development of so called targeted therapies based on our greater understanding of molecular pathways in cancer.
Stephen Baldwin told The Guardian in 2010 that he supports so called "ex-gay" therapy, a harmful practice that falsely claims to "cure" people of their sexual orientation.
This also makes them good targets for cancer therapy, so called anti-mitotics, which bind to β-tubulin and disrupt the microtubules in the mitotic spindle.
A randomized phase III study is ongoing to support the efficacy of the so called epigenetic or transcriptional cancer therapy.
To achieve a cure, patients are typically given induction chemotherapy to bring the disease into remission, after which another form of intensive therapy - so called, consolidation treatment - is given.
Effective treatment of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) relies on a correct classification of so called 'fluctuating active' versus 'passive' patients.
One reason may be the resistance of so called cancer stem or tumor-initiating cells (TICs) to standard cancer therapies.
Recently, the interest on studying cancer metabolism and the so called Warburg effect has grown as targeting specific metabolic pathways might be a promising approach to cancer therapy.
Modern therapy cures 80% of all children with brains tumors, but may also cause long-lasting side effects, so called late effects.
