Junk foods are typically low in essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They are also loaded with trans fats and saturated fats, which can increase the level of triglycerides in the blood. High triglyceride levels can contribute to the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a condition where excess fat accumulates in the liver.

It has been found that people suffering with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at 22% more risk for PD. In the current study, we have established a molecular link between gut and brain.

Background: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most rampant neurodegenerative disorder which has caused havoc worldwide. More than a century has passed since the first case of AD was reported, but still, no stable treatment is known to humanity. The available medications only provide temporary relief and are not a cure for the disease.

Cardinal motor impairment and α-synucleinopathy are the characteristic features of PD. Recently, it has been identified that the gut-brain axis is substantially regulated by the gut microbiome (GM) through an immunological, neuroendocrine, and neural mechanism.

Aim: Poor nutritional effect of junk food induces injuries to the liver and the brain but still most of the developing nations survive on these diets to compensate for the fast-paced lifestyle. The aim of the study is to infer the protein-connections behind the liver-brain axis and identify the role of these proteins in causing neurodegenerative disorders.
Background: Chronic consumption of fructose and fat-rich food works as a toxin in the body and has the ability to cause a negative metabolic shift.
COVID-19, emerged at the end of 2019 have dramatically threatened the health, economy, and social mobility of people around the world and till date no medication is available for its treatment. An amazing herb, , having antiviral, antihypertensive, anti- diarrhoeal, analgesics, and anti-bacterial properties, needs to be explored for its efficacy against SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19. studies were carried out to understand the role of its bioactive constituents in COVID-19 treatment and prevention.

Background: Tremor is one of the most noticeable features, which occurs during the early stages of Parkinson's Disease (PD). It is one of the major pathological hallmarks and does not have any interpreted mechanism. In this study, we have framed a hypothesis and deciphered protein- protein interactions between the proteins involved in impairment in sodium and calcium ion channels and thus cause synaptic plasticity leading to a tremor.

The diagnosis only at advanced stages and lack of effective treatment are the main factors responsible for high mortality. Tobacco smoke is the major responsible factor for inflammation and tumor development in lungs.

T3D contributes in the increase of the total load of Alzheimer's patients worldwide. The protein network based strategies were used for the analysis of protein interactions and hypothesis was derived describing the possible routes of communications among proteins.
