Could more sunshine make you less anxious?
It is no surprise that basking in sunshine can do a lot to improve your mood, but do you know about the link between vitamin D and mental health? Sunlight is the best source of vitamin D, which we need to enable our bodies to convert the calcium in our diets to strengthen our bones. In addition to maintaining good bone health, vitamin D has been linked with many other physiological functions in ...

Delhi’s Pollution can Reduce 6 Years from Your Life
Air pollution is often based on the values of particulate matter of size less than 2.5 micrometers(PM 2.5) and particulate matter of size less than 10 micrometers (PM10).PM 2.5 reduces visibility and cause the air to appear hazy when the levels are elevated. It is the most harmful pollutant to human health which can lead to respiratory diseases, lung cancer, and heart attacks. The World Health ...

Mitochondrial Proteomics
Mitochondria are important organelles of eukaryotic cells and play a key role in the regulation of cellular energy metabolism, biosynthesis and cell death (including apoptosis and programmed cell necrosis). In addition, mitochondria are involved in important physiological processes such as tricarboxylic acid cycle, fatty acid and amino acid oxidation, and regulation of calcium ion homeostasis. ...

Enzymes for Disease Diagnosis: An Overview
Enzymes are protein molecules that catalyze chemical reactions in living organisms. They are involved in many metabolic processes and play a critical role in maintaining the health of the body. In recent years, enzymes have been widely used in disease diagnosis, providing a quick and accurate way to detect and monitor diseases. Enzymes for disease diagnosis can be divided into two categories: ...

The Significance of Post-Translational Modification in Pharmaceutical Industry
Post-translational modification (PTM) is the covalent and generally enzymatic modification of proteins following protein biosynthesis. PTMs can alter the physicochemical properties of the peptide by changing the electrostatic charge, hydrophilicity, and conformation, thereby modulating their ability to specifically bind to the protein of interest. And PTM can also regulate protein folding, target ...

Mold! Hazard or Hoax?
Let me address the two issues in reverse order. The Hoax The biggest hoax is the hysteria over the notorious black mold that grows on sheetrock. This black mold is formally known as Stachybotrys chartarum or Stachybotrys atra. The horror stories related to items such as infant deaths in Cleveland in 1993 and 1994 are not true. The statements of CDC related to possible cause have been ...

Targeted Region Sequencing in Human Disease Studies and Clinical Care
Introduction to target region sequencing Since the introduction of Sanger sequencing in 1977, genetic sequencing has been greatly improved with costs simultaneously falling. With the ability to rapidly produce large volumes of sequencing data, next-generation sequencing (NGS) enables researchers to obtain whole genome or targeted regions of samples. Targeted region sequencing is preferred by ...

New Findings about BRD4 Protein You May Want to Know
A new study clarifies how BRD4 (a protein that scientists have studied for many years) directs the spatial organization of DNA in the cell nucleus (a key function of stem cells to differentiate into muscle cells), which promotes the understanding of certain cancers and complex congenital diseases. Since the way DNA is folded is essential for gene regulation, this research not only has ...

New Report Launched by WHO – ‘Health in 2015: from MDGs to SDGs’
The World Health Organization (WHO) has launched a new report analysing global health trends since 2000 and looks at the main challenges that will affect health in the coming 15 years. The report titled ‘Health in 2015: from MDGs to SDGs’ identifies the key drivers of progress in health under the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It lays out actions that countries ...

Ecosystems Are Not Machines
If we want to save the world, we need to treat nature more as an organism and less as disposable and replaceable technology. “The child is father of the man,” said Wordsworth. We now know that a whole microbial menagerie also contributes to the parentage. In fact, “the man” (or any person) is less a single individual than a fuzzy-edged, mobile ecosystem. We are at the ...
