Monika Raman, PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore At the moment, around 80% of grafts are obtained from donors after brain death (DBDs). However, brain death (BD) significantly decreases liver graft tolerance to preservation/reperfusion damage and graft survival. In DBDs receivers, the levels of a phospholipid, glycogen, ATP, and growth factor (VEGFA, HGF, and IGF1) in […]

Mustafa Vora, DY Patil University, Navi Mumbai Emerging market economies, low and middle-income countries face parallel challenges of high premature mortality due to communicable as well as non-communicable diseases (CDs and NCDs). On the other hand, developing countries face severe resource constraints. It is important to understand the evolution of these diseases in the short […]
Shrestha Dutta, Amity University Kolkata γ-Secretase is an intramembraneaspartyl protease that is known to cleave various substrates inside its transmembrane region. It takes part in regulation of intramembrane proteolysis. It cleaves the signalling proteins inside their transmembrane domains (TMDs). The most noticeable instances of γ-secretase substrates consists of amyloid precursor protein (APP), connected to the growth […]
Madhavi Bhatia, National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research, Guwahati Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a group of cardiometabolic conditions that are leading contributors to an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type II diabetes. Many consequences have been identified which occur due to MetS, an increased risk of fatty liver disease, renal disease, and […]
