An integrative analysis to distinguish between emphysema (EML) and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency-related emphysema (ADL)-A systems biology approach
( Elsevier , 2021 , Book chapter)Lung Emphysema is an abnormal enlargement of the air sacs followed by the destruction of alveolar walls without any prominent fibrosis. This study primarily identifies the differentially expressed genes (DEGs), interactions ... -
Analysis of signaling cascades from myeloma cells treated with pristimerin
( Elsevier , 2022 , Book chapter)Multiple myeloma (MM) is the 2nd most frequently diagnosed blood cancer after non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The present study aimed to identify the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the control and pristimerin-treated ... -
Chapter Four Controlling cell proliferation by targeting cyclin-dependent kinase 6 using drug repurposing approach
( Elsevier , 2023 , Book chapter)Cyclin-dependent kinase 6 (CDK6) is an essential kinase in cell cycle progression, which is a viable target for inhibitors in various malignancies, including breast cancer. This study aimed to virtually screen efficient ... -
Chapter Seven Exploring the effect of disease causing mutations in metal binding sites of human ARSA in metachromatic leukodystrophy
( Elsevier , 2024 , Book chapter)The arylsulfatase A (ARSA) gene is observed to be deficient in patients with metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD), a type of lysosomal storage disease. MLD is a severe neurodegenerative disorder characterized by an autosomal ... -
Chapter Three Elucidating the mechanism of antimicrobial resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis using gene interaction networks
( Elsevier , 2023 , Book chapter)Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in microorganisms is an urgent global health threat. AMR of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. It is of great importance to underpin the ... -
A comparative computational approach toward pharmacological chaperones (NN-DNJ and ambroxol) on N370S and L444P mutations causing Gaucher's disease.
( Elsevier , 2019 , Book chapter)Gaucher's disease (GD) is the most commonly known lysosomal disorder that occurs due to mutations in the β-glucocerebrosidase (GBA) protein. Our previous findings (Thirumal Kumar, Eldous, Mahgoub, George Priya Doss, Zayed, ... -
Computational and modeling approaches to understand the impact of the Fabry's disease causing mutation (D92Y) on the interaction with pharmacological chaperone 1-deoxygalactonojirimycin (DGJ).
( Elsevier , 2019 , Book chapter)Fabry's disease (FD) is the second most commonly occurring lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs). The mutations in α-galactosidase A (GLA) protein were widely found to be causative for the Fabry's disease. These mutations ... -
Computational structural assessment of BReast CAncer type 1 susceptibility protein (BRCA1) and BRCA1-Associated Ring Domain protein 1 (BARD1) mutations on the protein-protein interface
( Elsevier , 2022 , Book chapter)Breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein (BRCA1) is closely related to the BRCA2 (breast cancer type 2 susceptibility protein) and BARD1 (BRCA1-associated RING domain-1) proteins. The homodimers were formed through their ... -
Hepatitis E Viruses : Emerging and Transboundary Animal Viruses
( Springer , 2020 , Book chapter)Hepatitis E virus (HEV), member of genus Orthohepevirus in the family Hepeviridae, is the leading cause of hepatitis E. More than 20 million cases of hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection have been reported globally, out of ... -
Identification of potential circadian genes and associated pathways in colorectal cancer progression and prognosis using microarray gene expression analysis
( Elsevier , 2023 , Book chapter)Colorectal cancer (CRC) is third cancer causing death in the world. CRC is associated with disrupting the circadian rhythm (CR), closely associating the CRC progression and the dysregulation of genes involved in the ... -
Integrative ontology and pathway-based approach identifies distinct molecular signatures in transcriptomes of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
( Elsevier , 2022 , Book chapter)Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains a serious concern globally due to many factors that including late diagnosis, lack of an ideal biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis, and high rate of mortality. In this ... -
Investigation of differentially expressed genes and dysregulated pathways involved in multiple sclerosis
