Computational analysis of the deleterious non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) in TYR gene impacting human tyrosinase protein and the protein stability.

Tyrosinase, a copper-containing oxidase, plays a vital role in the melanin biosynthesis pathway. Mutations in the tyrosinase gene can disrupt the hydroxylation of tyrosine, leading to decreased production of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). Consequently, this impairs the subsequent formation of dopaquinone, a key precursor in melanin pigment synthesis.

Targeting MDM2-p53 interaction in Glioblastoma: Transcriptomic analysis and Peptide-Based inhibition strategy.

MDM2 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in cell survival, growth, and DNA repair. It has been implicated in the development and progression of glioblastoma (GBM). Inhibition of the MDM2-p53 interaction has emerged as a promising strategy for treating GBM.

Microbiome in a ground-based analog cabin of China Space Station during a 50-day human occupation.

Dead-corner areas in space station that untouched by the clean-up campaign often experience microorganisms outbreaks, but the microbiome of these areas has never been studied. In this study, the microbiome in a ground-based analog ``Tianhe'' core module of China Space Station was first investigated during a 50-day three-crew occupation. Dead-corner areas were receiving attention by adopting a new sampling method.

Novel integrated Omics based computational approach for drug repurposing for non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).

Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) refers to a subtype of bladder carcinoma where cancer is localized in the inner lining of bladder. NMIBC consider as one of most costly malignancy and requires significant surgical and therapeutic measure. However, recurrence and progression of tumor is common in treated patients.

Identification of potential phytochemical for the inhibition of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).

Non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) is one of the most common type of bladder cancer. Here, we have utilized an integrated transcriptomic-computational approach to identify alternate treatments to the NMIBC. In this study, we have performed the comprehensive comparative analysis between three groups of 36 patients with non-relapsed (NR), recurrence and progressive symptoms.

Effect of cadmium on the regulatory mechanism of steroidogenic pathway of Leydig cells during spermatogenesis.

Cadmium is a male reproductive toxicant that interacts with a variety of pathogenetic mechanisms. However, the effect of cadmium on the regulatory mechanism of the steroidogenic pathway of Leydig cells during spermatogenesis is still ambiguous. Light microscopy, Western blot, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and quantitative polymerase chain reaction were performed to study the regulatory mechanism of the steroidogenic pathway of Leydig cells during spermatogenesis.

Effect of Nano-selenium on Biological Mechanism of Goblet Cells of the Small Intestine Within Laying Hen.

Dietary selenium intake within the normal physiological range is critical for various supporting biological functions. However, the effect of nano-selenium on biological mechanism of goblet cells associated with autophagy is largely unknown.The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of nano-selenium on the mucosal immune-defense mechanism of goblet cells (GCs) in the small intestine of laying hens.

Use of modified ichip for the cultivation of thermo-tolerant microorganisms from the hot spring.

Background: Thermostable microorganisms are extremophiles. They have a special genetic background and metabolic pathway and can produce a variety of enzymes and other active substances with special functions. Most thermo-tolerant microorganisms from environmental samples have resisted cultivation on artificial growth media.

Identification of Differentially Expressed Genes Associated with the Prognosis and Diagnosis of Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Integrated Bioinformatics Analysis.

Objective: The goal of this study was to understand the possible core genes associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) pathogenesis and prognosis.

Methods: GEO contains datasets of gene expression, miRNA, and methylation patterns of diseased and healthy/control patients. The GSE62232 dataset was selected by employing the server Gene Expression Omnibus.

Seed Coat Morphology and Sculpturing of Selected Invasive Alien Plants from Lesser Himalaya Pakistan and Their Systematic Implications.

Invasive alien species (IAS) are considered as the second major threat to biodiversity after habitat destruction worldwide. They are aggressive competitors and dominate an ecosystem where they introduce and cause reduction in indigenous diversity. Invasive plants alter the evolutionary pathways of native species by competition, niche displacement, hybridization, introgression, predation, and ultimately extinction of native species.

Biogenic Synthesis of Ag Nanoparticles of 18.27 nm by and Determination of Biological Potentials.

Nanotechnology has become a dire need of the current era and the green synthesis of nanoparticles offers several advantages over other methods. Nanobiotechnology is an emerging field that contributes to many domains of human life, such as the formulation of nanoscale drug systems or nanomedicine for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Medicinal plants are the main sources of lead compounds, drug candidates and drugs.

Evaluating Quantitative Measures of Microbial Contamination from China's Spacecraft Materials.

Different methods are used for the quantification of microbial load on spacecrafts. Here, we investigated a number of methodologies currently in use with the intent to identify the most accurate methods for the quantification of microbes on low-biomass metal surfaces such as those used in China's Space Station. In a previous study, we observed a high abundance of sp.
