Comment: Lessons from immuno-oncology: a new era for cancer nanomedicine?
Wen Jiang, Hengfeng Yuan, Charles K. Chan, Christina A. von Roemeling, Zuoqin Yan, Irving L. Weissman & Betty Y. S. Kim
p369 | doi:10.1038/nrd.2017.34
Despite a decade of intensive preclinical research, the translation of cancer nanomedicine to the clinic has been slow. Here, we discuss how recent lessons learned from the successes with immuno-oncology therapies could be applied to cancer nanomedicine and how this may help to overcome some of the key technical challenges in this field.

Delivery technologies for genome editing
Hao Yin, Kevin J. Kauffman & Daniel G. Anderson
p387 | doi:10.1038/nrd.2016.280
Genome editing has emerged as an attractive approach to therapeutically manipulate gene expression. Here, Anderson and colleagues provide an overview of genome-editing platforms, focusing on the methods and challenges of intracellular biomacromolecule delivery. Preclinical and clinical trials involving genome-editing technologies are also discussed.

Targeting iron metabolism in drug discovery and delivery
Bart J. Crielaard, Twan Lammers & Stefano Rivella
p400 | doi:10.1038/nrd.2016.248
Dysregulation of iron homeostasis occurs in haematological disorders and in other diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration. Crielaard and colleagues discuss the progress made in interfering with iron metabolism as a therapeutic strategy, as well as in using iron metabolism to direct drugs to target tissues.

Non-kinase targets of protein kinase inhibitors
Lenka Munoz
p424 | doi:10.1038/nrd.2016.266
Inhibition of proteins other than the intended target by small molecules can lead to the incorrect assignment of biological functions to particular proteins and wasted drug development efforts. Potential inhibition of off-target kinases by kinase inhibitors is often investigated, but kinase inhibitors can also inhibit non-kinases. Munoz examines the growing number of examples of this issue and suggests a systematic strategy to verify which protein is responsible for the effects of a given small molecule.

(HERBAL PARKINSON DISEASE CURE ,
I was diagnosed with Parkinson Disease(PD).My symptoms started at the age of 45. My fingers on my left hand were stiff and were difficult to move. People noticed that my walk was not normal. I was often asked did I hurt. I noticed nothing different about my walk. It was difficult getting up from` a chair and getting out of a car. I was diagnosed a year later. on a very faithful day as my son was browsing on the internet, he saw someone who testified of how a herbal doctor by the name Doctor Sithuu(Perfecthealthherbalmedicinehome) cured him of same disease with the use of herbs. So i contacted the herbal doctor, and after i explain to him, he assured me that he can cure me of Parkinson disease. He gave me the steps to follow, i followed it and he prepared the herbs and send it to me in USA. i took the mixture according to his prescription and behold it worked perfectly for me. Today i am happy to say i totally cured of Parkinson disease my family is happy together again. Please i want you all suffering Parkinson disease or other pain related problem to also get cured just as i was cured. for this reason i want you all to contact Doctor Sithuu(Perfecthealthherbalmedicinehome) via

I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease a year ago at the age of 68. For several months I had noticed tremors in my right hand and the shaking of my right foot when I was sitting. My normally beautiful cursive writing was now small cramped printing. And I tended to lose my balance. Neurologist had me walk down the hall and said I didn't swing my right arm. I had never noticed! I was in denial for a while as there is no history in my family of parents and five older siblings, but now accept I had classic symptoms. I was taking pramipexole (Sifrol), carbidopa/levodopa and Biperiden, 2 mg. and started physical therapy to strengthen muscles. nothing was really working to help my condition.I went off the Siferol (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started on parkinson’s herbal formula i ordered from Health Herbal Clinic, my symptoms totally declined over a 3 weeks use of the Parkinsons disease natural herbal formula. i am now almost 70 and doing very well, the disease is totally reversed!!

(MUST READ: HOW I GOT CURED FROM PARKINSON’S DISEASE)
My name is Benedict Anderson.I thought i should share this here as someone out here may need this information; I was diagnosed of Parkinson’s disease in February 2015, my doctor told me it has no permanent cure, i was given monoamine oxidase (MAO)-B inhibitors and other medications to ease the situation, this continued till a friend of mine told me about Dr Odi from Africa who cured her father of parkinson’s disease and Glaucoma. I contacted this herbal doctor and bought the herbal medicine from him, i received it within 6 days and applied it as prescribed and was totally cured within 19 days of usage. my life is back again! Contact this herbal doctor via his email oyeyetemple@gmail.com or call +2348133582987

I was suffering from HIV and HERPES until i met with Dr.Isai who permanently cured me. Now that i am cured i decided to share my testimony on the internet. This is my story, i have been suffering from HIV/HERPES for some years now and during this period i was taking series of medications but none seems to be working on me, so few weeks ago i went on a search on the internet to see if i could get any information on how to get rid of this disease. On my search i came across a testimony of someone who was cured from Cancer of the breast by Dr.Isai so quickly i contacted Dr.Isai and he assured me that he was going to cure me. So he told me how we are going to go about it, after all the procedures and remedy given to me by him few weeks later i started experiencing changes all over my body, and when i finish taking the medicine i went to my doctor to confirm if really i was cured then he conducted a text on me, and my result came out Negative. So friends if you are suffering from any kinds of disease contact Dr.Isai on his Email Address: drisaiherbalcenter@gmail.com you can also call or whatsapp him on this Tel.No: +2349034352176 and receive your cure.
