Molecular therapy for heart regeneration and repair: A therapeutic mix encompassing Aripiprazole and Cilostazol increases Agrin expression, activates Yap and ERK-mediated signaling, replaces scar tissue with functional cardiomyocytes, and promotes cardiomyocyte regeneration and repair after myocardial infarction, via up regulation of its target gene, 2/December/2017, 8.39 am
Introduction: What they say: A recent study from Department of Molecular Cell Biology, Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot 76100, Israel; Department of Biomedical Engineering, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27708, USA; and Baylor College of Medicine and The Texas Heart Institute, Houston, Texas 77030, US shows that “The extracellular matrix protein Agrin promotes heart regeneration […]
Natural product-based therapy for TIIDM and obesity-associated metabolic deficits: Meranzin hydrate, isolated from Humulus Scandens, increases Lipocalin 2 (LCN2) expression, activates an MC4R-dependent anorexigenic pathway, suppresses appetite and weight gain, increases insulin secretion, improves glucose tolerance, promotes glucose homeostasis, improves obesity-associated metabolic deficits and prevents progression to TIIDM via down regulation of its target gene, 2/December/2017, 7.41 am
Introduction: What they say A study from the Department of Physiology-Cellular Biophysics, College of Physicians and Surgeons, Columbia University, New York, New York, USA shows that “MC4R-dependent suppression of appetite by bone-derived lipocalin 2.” This research paper was published, in the 8 March 2017 issue of the journal “Nature” [One of the best research journals […]

What they say: Introduction: A recent study from the Department of Genetics, Paul F. Glenn Laboratories for the Biological Mechanisms of Aging Harvard Medical School, Boston,USA; and Department of Pharmacology, School of Medicine, The University of New South Wales, Australia shows that Sirtuin-2 induces the checkpoint kinase BubR1 to increase lifespan. This study was published, in the 1 July 2014 issue of the […]
Natural product-based therapy for body weight control, energy homeostasis and TIIDM: Glabridin, an isoflavane isolated from Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra), inhibits DNA methyltransferase 3a (Dnmt3a) expression, increases FGF21 expression, augments insulin sensitivity, increases glucose tolerance, and protects from diet-induced obesity and TIIDM, via up regulation of its target gene, 2/December/2017, 6.14 am
Introduction: What they say A study from Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology Department, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, United States shows that “Dnmt3a is an epigenetic mediator of adipose insulin resistance.” This research paper was published, in the 1 Nov 2017 issue of the journal “Elife”, by Prof.Kang S, You D and others. What we say: […]
Molecular therapy for Cardiomyopathy: A pharmacological mixture encompassing Cilostazol and Aripiprazole decreases the expression of Sox6, restores the balance between slow- and fast-twitch myofiber proteins and alleviates Cardiomyopathy via up regulation of its target gene, 2/December/2017, 12.07 am
Introduction: What they say A study from the Department of Cardiology, Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA; and Harvard Stem Cell Institute, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA shows that “Trbp regulates heart function through microRNA-mediated Sox6 repression.” This study was published, in the 2 June 2015 issue of the journal “Nature Genetics” (the number 1 research journal in Genetics with an impact factor of 29.648), by Prof. Da-Zhi Wang & Jian Ding, and […]
Regenerative therapy for muscle atrophy: Cilostazol, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor used in the treatment of Peripheral vascular disease, increases the expression of IGF-1, PI3K(p85a) and B-Myb, decreases the expression of tumor suppressors, promotes regeneration of muscle cells, and reverses muscle atrophy via up regulation of its target gene, 1/November/2017, 11.58 pm
Introduction: What they say A study from the Cardiac Regeneration and Ageing Lab, School of Life Science, Shanghai University, Shanghai 200444, China shows that “miR-29b contributes to multiple types of muscle atrophy.” This research paper was published, in the 25 May 2017 issue of the journal “Nature communications” [One of the best research journals in […]
