Mechanistic insights into how Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) causes migraine and headache:  CGRP, a vasoactive peptide known to play a role in the pathophysiology of migraine, decreases the expression of PD-L1, aggravates acute and chronic pain, increases mechanical and thermal hypersensitivity and promotes nociceptive neuron excitability, via down-regulation of its target gene, 6/April/2019, 1.13 pm

Introduction: What they say: A recent study from Institute of Neurobiology, Institutes of Brain Science and State Key Laboratory of Medical Neurobiology, Collaborative Innovation Center for Brain Science, Fudan University, Shanghai, China; and Department of Neurobiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, North Carolina, US shows that “PD-L1 inhibits acute and chronic pain by suppressing nociceptive […]

An aspirin a day keeps cancer away, if so, what is the mechanism?: Probiotic-based chemotherapy targeting cancer stem cells and immune-inhibitory receptors in advanced metastatic cancers: A pharmaceutical mixture encompassing Aspirin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, and probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus increases the expression of tumor suppressor genes, such as CADM1/2, TIMP3, p53, and TA-p73/p63, inhibits immune-inhibitory receptors/molecules, targets ovarian cancer stem cells, confers protection against chemoresistance and prolongs survival, via up-regulation of its target gene, 6/April/2018, 1.00 pm

What we say: On the foundation of this interesting finding, Dr L Boominathan PhD, the Director-cum-chief Scientist of GBMD, reports that: An aspirin a day keeps cancer away, if so, what is the mechanism?: Probiotic-based chemotherapy targeting cancer stem cells and immune-inhibitory receptors in advanced metastatic cancers: A pharmaceutical mixture encompassing Aspirin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, […]

Ribonucleic acid-based therapy for enhancing memory and cognition: LncRNA CAR10 increases Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 2 (TIMP2) levels, improves cognition, and decreases age-associated decline in memory and learning, via down-regulation of its target genes, 6/April/2019, 12.48 pm

Introduction: What they say: A study from Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305, USA;  Paul F. Glenn Center for the Biology of Aging, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305, USA Neuroscience Graduate Program, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, California 94305, USA; Center for Tissue […]

Eat oats to stay free of infections caused by chikungunya (CHIKV) and Zika (ZIKV) viruses: Oats-based antiviral therapy for chikungunya (CHIKV) and Zika (ZIKV) viruses: Avenanthramide-A, derived from Oats, increases spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase (SAT) expression, depletes spermidine and Spermine levels, and restricts Chikungunya and Zika viruses replication, via upregulation of its target gene, 6/April/2019, 12.43 pm

Introduction: What they say A study from the Viral Populations and Pathogenesis Unit, Institut Pasteur, CNRS UMR 3569, 25–28 rue du Dr. Roux, 75724 Paris Cedex 15, France shows that “Interferon-Induced Spermidine-Spermine Acetyltransferase and Polyamine Depletion Restrict Zika and Chikungunya Viruses.”  This research paper was published, in the 10 August 2016 issue of the journal […]
