Nuclear medicine is a specialized medical field based on the
application of radiopharmaceuticals, i.e. drugs associated to
radioactivity, for diagnosis or therapeutic purposes. In the past
fifty years, nuclear medicine has progressed in such a way that it
is now a major tool in hospitals. Nowadays, this technology enables
to better detect, observe and describe diseases, and also to
improve treatments. Cancer therapy is the main application of this
speciality. Once injected to the patient, the radiopharmaceutical
drug aims selectively at the tumoral cells, including the
metastases, settles there and emits radiation. Depending on the
type of radiation, the drug will either help to identify the cells
or to destroy them. Recent breakthroughs in this technology bring
new perspectives to oncology, haematology and neurology. At the
same time, since the beginning of the 21st century nuclear medicine
has also benefited from a double revolution in terms of imaging
technology. On the one hand, the Positron Emission Tomography (PET)
made a real impact with a polyvalent imaging drug called FDG. On
the other hand, a new tool combining functional and morphological
imaging (PET-CT) was very recently made available to the medical
community. This scientific book aims to introduce nuclear medicine
to a larger audience, pointing out, among other things, the
difficulties both physicians and patients meet when trying to
access new technologies. There are still some issues to overcome,
but recent scientific breakthroughs bring great hopes for patients
in the near future.
Protein transport into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is just one
aspect of the general cell biology topic of intracellular protein
sorting. This larger picture also includes protein transport into
other organelles of the eukaryotic cell (chloroplasts,
mitochondria, nucleus, peroxisomes), protein export from bacteria,
vesicular transport that delivers to its final destination most of
what has been transported into the ER, and protein export from the
ER that is associated with protein degradation (termed ERAD). Over
the years, protein transport into the ER also has become part of
the quest to understand the various roles of molecular chaperones
under non-stress conditions and of the ribosomal tunnel exit as the
decisive site for molecular triage of nascent polypeptide chains.
