Involvement of Essential Signaling Cascades and Analysis of Gene Networks in Diabesity
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
(1) Aims: Diabesity, defined as diabetes occurring in the context of obesity, is a serious health problem that is associated with an increased risk of premature heart attack, stroke, and death. To date, a key challenge has ...
Structural Analysis of G1691S Variant in the Human Filamin B Gene Responsible for Larsen Syndrome: A Comparative Computational Approach
(
Wiley Periodicals, Inc
, 2017 , Article)
Larsen syndrome (LRS) is a rare genetic disease associated with variable manifestations including skeletal malformations, dislocations of the large joints, and notable changes in facial and limb features. Genetic variants ...
An integrative bioinformatics pipeline to demonstrate the alteration of the interaction between the ALDH2*2 allele with NAD and Disulfiram.
(
Wiley
, 2019 , Article)
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a multifactorial psychiatric behavior disorder. Disulfiram is the first approved drug by the Food and Drug Administration for alcohol-dependent patients, which targets the ALDH2 enzyme. Several ...
An extensive computational approach to analyze and characterize the functional mutations in the galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) protein responsible for classical galactosemia
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
Type I galactosemia is a very rare autosomal recessive genetic metabolic disorder that occurs because of the mutations present in the galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GALT) gene, resulting in a deficiency of the ...
Deciphering the Role of Filamin B Calponin-Homology Domain in Causing the Larsen Syndrome, Boomerang Dysplasia, and Atelosteogenesis Type I Spectrum Disorders via a Computational Approach.
(
MDPI
, 2020 , Article)
Filamins (FLN) are a family of actin-binding proteins involved in regulating the cytoskeleton and signaling phenomenon by developing a network with F-actin and FLN-binding partners. The FLN family comprises three conserved ...
Rational design of a multivalent vaccine targeting arthropod-borne viruses using reverse vaccinology strategies
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
Viruses transmitted by arthropods, such as Dengue, Zika, and Chikungunya, represent substantial worldwide health threats, particularly in countries like India. The lack of approved vaccines and effective antiviral therapies ...
Enhanced production of anthraquinones by gamma-irradiated cell cultures of Rubia cordifolia in a bioreactor
(
Elsevier
, 2019 , Article)
The aim of this study was to obtain high-yielding cell cultures of Rubia cordifolia by applying gamma irradiation and subsequently scaling up for anthraquinone production in a bioreactor. Calli cultured on MS medium was ...
Substitution impact of highly conserved arginine residue at position 75 in GJB1 gene in association with X-linked Charcot-Marie-tooth disease: A computational study.
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1 X (CMTX1) disease is a subtype of Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT), which is mainly caused by mutations in the GJB1 gene. It is also known as connexin 32 (Cx32) that leads to Schwann cell ...
Genotype-phenotype correlation in 18 Egyptian patients with glutaric acidemia type I
(
Springer US
, 2017 , Article)
Glutaric acidemia I (GAI) is an autosomal recessive metabolic disease caused by a deficiency of glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase enzyme (GCDH). Patients with GAI are characterized by macrocephaly, acute encephalitis-like crises, ...
Determining the role of missense mutations in the POU domain of HNF1A that reduce the DNA-binding affinity: A computational approach
(
Plos One
, 2017 , Article)
Maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 3 (MODY3) is a non-ketotic form of diabetes associated with poor insulin secretion. Over the past years, several studies have reported the association of missense mutations in the ...
