Opportunities and challenges of the therapies targeting CNS regeneration

Aufsatzsammlung

Today combined oral contraceptives are the most convenient and accepted way of hormonal contraception. Nevertheless, there is a constant demand in the medical community and consumer market for innovation, additional benefits during use and lower hormonal load despite the high safety profile of available products. At the Ernst Schering Research Foundation Workshop 52 new perspectives and mechanisms for tissue-selective, estrogen-free contraception were discussed. The aim of the workshop was to bring together experts in the field of molecular and pharmacodynamic action of progestins with clinicians and medical experts to discuss potential medical endpoints, physiological reactions and (bio)marker useful to describe the tissue selectivity and the contraceptive action of new progestins in different target organs. A major success factor for the realization of these new concepts is a deeper understanding of local pharmacological responses to progestins in general and to new progestins in particular.
