The discovery of this family of proteins three decades ago launched a broad range of research effort that now reaches across many potential applications in human reproductive biology, inflammatory diseases, endocrinology, and in oncology. These proceedings papers extend the new function research possibilities inherent in the structure of this steroid-inducible, multifunctional secreted protein, and in the UG-bioactive-derived peptides. An opening overview of the UG family focuses on mammaglobin and its implications with human breast cancer; the sequence/structure sections review applications of antiflammin responses from its peptide. Other sections present new research on regulation of uteroglobin genes by cytokines and hormones; and clinical applications for renal diseases, in targeting gene therapy in pulmonary disease. Together, these developments raise the possibility of cytokine/chemokine-like functions that play important roles in major public health problems. A consensus of nomenclature for Uteroglobin/Clara Cell 10kDa family of proteins is also advanced as a step to coordinating new areas of research for these promising proteins and receptors.

This book is devoted to innovative medicine, comprising the proceedings of the Uehara Memorial Foundation Symposium 2014. It remains extremely rare for the findings of basic research to be developed into clinical applications, and it takes a long time for the process to be achieved. The task of advancing the development of basic research into clinical reality lies with translational science, yet the field seems to struggle to find a way to move forward. To create innovative medical technology, many steps need to be taken: development and analysis of optimal animal models of human diseases, elucidation of genomic and epidemiological data, and establishment of “proof of concept”. There is ...
