Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacology:
Research that emphasizes conventional drug development and pharmacodynamics has seen a decline, with a shift towards more innovative and targeted therapeutic strategies. - Basic Cellular Mechanisms:
Studies solely focused on fundamental cellular processes without a clear application to disease or therapeutic relevance appear to be less frequent. - In vitro Studies without Translational Relevance:
There seems to be a decrease in in vitro studies that do not connect findings to potential clinical applications or translational research. - Animal Models with Limited Human Relevance:
Research utilizing animal models that do not effectively mimic human disease conditions is becoming less common, as the field emphasizes more relevant translational models.
