Trehalose and its Diverse Biological Potential.

Trehalose, a disaccharide molecule of natural origin, is known for its diverse biological applications, like in drug development, research application, natural scaffold, stem cell preservation, food, and various other industries. This review has discussed one such diverse molecule 'trehalose aka mycose', and its diverse biological applications with respect to therapeutics. Due to its inertness and higher stability at variable temperatures, it has been developed as a preservative to store stem cells, and later, it has been found to have anticancer properties.

Pharmacogenomics of GLP-1 receptor agonists: Focus on pharmacological profile.

Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial metabolic disorder also known as a silent killer disease. Macrovascular and microvascular complications associated with diabetes worsen the condition leading to higher comorbidity and mortality rate. Currently, available treatment strategies for diabetes include biguanides, sulfonylureas, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, thiazolidinediones, insulin and its analogs, DPP-4 (dipeptidyl-peptidase-4) inhibitors, SGLT-2 inhibitors, and Glucagon Like Peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs).

Differential molecular mechanistic behavior of HDACs in cancer progression.

Genetic aberration including mutation in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes transforms normal cells into tumor cells. Epigenetic modifications work concertedly with genetic factors in controlling cancer development. Histone acetyltransferases (HATs), histone deacetylases (HDACs), DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and chromatin structure modifier are prospective epigenetic regulators.

miRNA signatures in diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy: delineating underlying mechanisms.

A worldwide failure to achieve glycemic targets has led to complications associated with diabetes mellitus. In addition to genetic and other risk factors, epigenetic factors like DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs play a significant part in the pathogenesis of complications. Among non-coding RNAs, miRNAs have been explored extensively since they control various biological processes.

Role of miRNAs in diabetic neuropathy: mechanisms and possible interventions.

Accelerating cases of diabetes worldwide have given rise to higher incidences of diabetic complications. MiRNAs, a much-explored class of non-coding RNAs, play a significant role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus by affecting insulin release, β-cell proliferation, and dysfunction. Besides, disrupted miRNAs contribute to various complications, diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy as well as severe conditions like diabetic foot.

"The pharmacological profile of SGLT2 inhibitors: Focus on mechanistic aspects and pharmacogenomics".

Diabetes, characterized by high glucose levels, has been listed to be one of the world's major causes of death. Around 1.6 million deaths are attributed to this disease each year.

Role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of T2DM, insulin secretion, insulin resistance, and β cell dysfunction: the story so far.

Diabetes, the most common endocrine disorder, also known as a silent killer disease, is characterized by uncontrolled hyperglycemia. According to the International Diabetes Federation, there were 451 million people with diabetes mellitus worldwide in 2017. It is a multifactorial syndrome caused by genetic as well as environmental factors.
