Depression is a multifactorial disorder that occurs mainly on account of the dysregulation of neuroplasticity, neurotransmission and neuroinflammation in the brain. In addition to environmental /lifestyle factors, the pathogenesis of disease has been associated with genetic and epigenetic factors that affect the reprogramming of normal brain function. MicroRNA (miRNAs), a type of non-coding RNAs, are emerging as significant players that play a vital role in the regulation of gene expression and have been extensively explored in neurodegenerative disorders.

The ESCRT (Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport) machinery comprising protein complexes ESCRT-0 to ESCRT-III and Vps4 plays a pivotal role in intracellular trafficking, a process of endocytosing cell surface proteins into the cell for various biological activities. The ESCRT protein complexes are sequentially assembled which interact amongst each other to form a functional ESCRT machinery. Deregulation of these events are shown to be involved in various disease development including tumor formation and viral infections.

A Cu-catalyzed three-component cascade reaction has been developed, involving -alkynylaryl aldehydes, terminal alkynes and aliphatic/aromatic amines or diamines. This diversity oriented methodology successfully delivered a rich library of 72 molecules in good to excellent yields (yields up to 99%) through the application of an A-coupling reaction. This method is green, straightforward to execute, requires a short reaction time (2 min-4 h), does not require solvents or harsh or inert conditions, can be performed in open air, and utilizes only a small amount of a cheap and readily available catalyst (2.

Antifungal peptides (AFPs) are small cationic peptides that are found in a diverse range of taxa including bacteria, plants, mammals and insects. AFPs exhibit the strong antifungal activities against several pathogenic fungi, making them potential candidates for developing novel antifungal agents. AFP cause fungal cell death by rupturing the membranes of the fungal cell wall and inhibits the vital enzymes.

The central nervous system (CNS) involves a complex interplay of communications between the neurons and various glial cells, which is crucial for brain functions. The major interactomes are exosomes that transmit sundry molecules (DNA, miRNAs, and proteins) between the cells and thus alter cell physiology. Exosomes can act as neuroprotective or neurodegenerative agents depending on the microenvironment of cells secreting them.

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) caused by in South-East Asian endemic countries including India, Nepal and Bangladesh has been the primary focus of the ongoing VL elimination program. With a major reduction in VL cases resulting from the elimination program during the last two decades, the efforts are now focused on the challenges posed by potential reservoirs within the asymptomatic cases, HIV-co-infection VL cases and Post Kala-azar Dermal Leishmaniasis (PKDL) cases that continue to sustain the parasite transmission cycle in known and newer endemic zones. This article brings attention to a new potential parasite reservoir in the form of atypical cutaneous leishmaniasis (ACL) cases caused by novel genetic variants.

Nucleocytoplasmic translocation of HMGB1 (high mobility group box-1) plays a significant role in disease progression. Several methods contribute to the translocation of HMGB1 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm, including inflammasome activation, TNF-α signaling, CRM1-mediated transport, reactive oxygen species (ROS), JAK/STAT pathway, RIP3-mediated p53 involvement, XPO-1-mediated transport, and calcium-dependent mechanisms. Due to its diverse functions at various subcellular locations, HMGB1 has been identified as a crucial factor in several Central Nervous System (CNS) disorders, including Huntington's disease (HD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and Alzheimer's disease (AD).
