Molecular Mechanisms of the Teratogenic Effects of Thalidomide
Thalidomide was sold worldwide as a sedative over 60 years ago, but it was quickly withdrawn from the market due to its teratogenic effects. Thalidomide was later found to have therapeutic effects in several diseases, although the molecular mechanisms ...

Despite its history as a human teratogen, thalidomide is emerging as a treatment for cancer and inflammatory diseases. Although the evolution of its clinical application could not have been predicted from the tragedy associated with its misuse in the past, its history serves as a lesson in drug development that underscores the need to understand the ...

Immunomodulation by thalidomide and thalidomide analogues [PDF]
Tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα), a key cytokine involved in the host immune response, also contributes to the pathogenesis of both infectious and autoimmune diseases. To ameliorate the pathology resulting from TNFα in these clinical settings, strategies for the inhibition of this cytokine have been developed.
