Genetic Exchange of Lung-Derived Exosome to Brain Causing Neuronal Changes on COVID-19 Infection.

The pandemic of novel coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has made global chaos for normal human living. Despite common COVID-19 symptoms, variability in clinical phenotypes was reported worldwide. Reports on SARS-CoV-2 suggest causing neurological manifestation.

RPL6: A Key Molecule Regulating Zinc- and Magnesium-Bound Metalloproteins of Parkinson's Disease.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with no definite molecular markers for diagnosis. Metal exposure may alter cellular proteins that contribute to PD. Exploring the cross-talk between metal and its binding proteins in PD could reveal a new strategy for PD diagnosis.

Interdependence of metals and its binding proteins in Parkinson's disease for diagnosis.

Metalloproteins utilizes cellular metals which plays a crucial function in brain that linked with neurodegenerative disorders. Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects geriatric population world-wide. Twenty-four metal-binding protein networks were investigated to identify key regulating protein hubs in PD blood and brain.

Clinical utility of brain-derived neurotrophic factor as a biomarker with left ventricular echocardiographic indices for potential diagnosis of coronary artery disease.

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) plays a central pivotal role in the development of the cardiovascular system. Recent evidence suggests that BDNF has adverse subclinical cardiac remodeling in participants with cardiovascular disease risk factors. Relating serum BDNF levels with two-dimensional echocardiographic indices will provide insights into the BDNF mediated pathophysiology in coronary artery disease (CAD) that may shed light upon potential diagnostic biomarkers.

Temporal changes of NF-κB signaling pathway genes in bacterial stimulated whole blood- a host mechanism associated with sepsis.

Bacterial sepsis affects both neonates and adults worldwide. There is no specific anti-sepsis treatment. Disease management mainly depends on early diagnosis.

Regulatory Cross Talk Between SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Binding and Replication Machinery in the Human Host.

We dissect the mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 in human lung host from the initial phase of receptor binding to viral replication machinery. Two independent lung protein interactome were constructed to reveal the signaling process on receptor activation and host protein hijacking machinery in the pathogenesis of virus. Further, we test the functional role of the hubs derived from the interactome.

Association of leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 gene rs10878307 polymorphism and Parkinson's disease risk in South India-A meta-analysis and molecular dynamics simulation.

PARK2 and PARK7 Gene Polymorphisms as Risk Factors Associated with Serum Element Concentrations and Clinical Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease.

Besides clinical and imaging techniques, there is a lack of molecular makers for the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). There is an immense need to develop biomarkers associated with the phenotypes which may be valuable for individualized treatment. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (PARK2: Ser167Asn (G>A) and Val380Leu (G>C); PARK7: IVS4 + 46G>A and IVS4 + 30T>G) in PD-related genes were examined to elucidate its relationship with concentration of serum elements and clinical symptoms of PD.

Gene Regulatory Networks in Peripheral Mononuclear Cells Reveals Critical Regulatory Modules and Regulators of Multiple Sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex, demyelinating disease with the involvement of autoimmunity and neurodegeneration. Increasing efforts have been made towards identifying the diagnostic markers to differentiate the classes of MS from other similar neurological conditions. Using a systems biology approach, we constructed four types of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) involved in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs).

Inflammatory Bowel Disease Therapies Adversely Affect Fertility in Men- A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background And Aims: Sexual functions are sometimes adversely affected by the therapeutic drugs delivered for treating IBD. Much attention has been focused on pregnancy/sexual issues in women. Relatively less attention has been poured in to address this issue in men.

Functional Genomic Investigation of the Molecular Biological Impact of Electron Beam Radiation in Lymphoma Cells.

Purpose: The biological response of electron beam radiation (EBR) in tumors remains underexplored. This study describes the molecular biological and genomic impact of EBR on tumor cells.

Methods: A mouse model bearing Dalton's lymphoma ascites cells was exposed to an 8-MeV pulsed electron beam, at a dose rate of 2 Gy/min using a microtron, a linear accelerator.
