چکیده
Only a small minority of the estimated 7,000 rare diseases have an approved drug, creating the urgent need for new approaches to accelerate orphan drug development. Zebrafish are a powerful model organism, ideally suited for the rapid generation of biomedically relevant and predictive in vivo bioassays for a wide range of human genetic diseases. Because of the small size of their embryos and larvae with which most bioassays are developed, zebrafish models of human diseases enable the high-throughput, microscale in vivo screening of small molecule libraries. Zebrafish have therefore emerged as a promising tool for modeling rare diseases and supporting orphan drug discovery. In my presentation, I will review how we and others are using zebrafish to model rare diseases, and will highlight our recent progress in using genetically-modified zebrafish models to identify new orphan drug candidates. The need to expedite orphan drug development has created an urgency for identifying new uses for existing drugs (drug repurposing). As a result, the development of animal models able to support the screening of approved libraries of compounds in multiple rare disease-relevant assays has become a key priority and a limiting step in the development of orphan drugs. As the field of medicine moves towards more patient-specific models and shorter development timelines, zebrafish are rapidly becoming a key drug discovery tool with the potential to revolutionize not only orphan drug discovery but also personalized medicine.کلیدواژه ها

COI مخفف عبارت CIVILICA Object Identifier به معنی شناسه سیویلیکا برای اسناد است. COI کدی است که مطابق محل انتشار، به مقالات کنفرانسها و ژورنالهای داخل کشور به هنگام نمایه سازی بر روی پایگاه استنادی سیویلیکا اختصاص می یابد.
کد COI به مفهوم کد ملی اسناد نمایه شده در سیویلیکا است و کدی یکتا و ثابت است و به همین دلیل همواره قابلیت استناد و پیگیری دارد.
