Maximal clique centrality and bottleneck genes as novel biomarkers in ovarian cancer.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is second most common form of gynaecological cancer world wide . In this study, we collected and analyzed three ovarian cancer microarray raw datasets from Gene Expression Omnibus, NCBI, and identified a total of 1806 significant DEGs (Differentially expressed genes). The functional analysis of the DEGs showed that the 885 upregulated DEGs were mostly enriched in protein-binding activity, while the downregulated 796 genes were mostly enriched in retinal dehydrogenase activity and GABA receptor binding.

Spectroscopic, calorimetric and molecular docking insight into the interaction of Alzheimer's drug donepezil with human transferrin: implications of Alzheimer's drug.

Donepezil, a highly selective and reversible inhibitor, is amongst the widely used drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD) across the globe. Clinically significant human transferrin (hTf) is a key player involved in iron metabolism. The current study targets to have an insight into the interaction between donepezil and this plasma protein, hTf using UV-vis absorbance, fluorescence, isothermal titration calorimetry, circular dichroism (CD) and molecular docking techniques.
