Probiotic-based therapy for tuberculosis: Probiotic Lactobacillus fermentum CQPC08 (LFCQPC08) deacetylates RelA/p65, inhibits inflammatory gene expression downstream of RelA/p65, inhibits TB pathogenesis, increases the efficacy of anti-TB drug, and promotes M. tuberculosis clearance via upregulation of its target gene, 8/April/2019, 11.53 pm

Introduction: What they say: A study from the Singapore Immunology Network, Agency for Science, Technology and Research, Singapore; and Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore shows that “Host sirtuin 1 regulates mycobacterial immunopathogenesis and represents a therapeutic target against tuberculosis.” This study was published, in the 24 March 2017 issue of […]

Mechanistic insights into why consumption of high fact diet is bad for your heart: High fat diet promotes DNA damage responses, decreases telomerase expression, accelerates telomere shortening, and decreases cardiomyocyte survival after myocardial infarction, via downregulation of PNUTS, 8/April/2019, 11.38 pm

What they say:  A recent study from the Institute for Cardiovascular Regeneration, Centre of Molecular Medicine, Frankfurt, Germany shows that “MicroRNA-34a regulates cardiac aging and function.” This study was published, in the 7 March  2013 issue of the journal Nature,  by Prof Dimmler, Boon, and others. What we say:  On the foundation of this interesting finding, Dr L Boominathan PhD, Director-cum-chief Scientist of GBMD, reports that: Mechanistic insights into why consumption of high […]

Molecular therapy for cardiac dysfunction: Lansoprazole (trade name: Prevacid), a medication used to decrease stomach acid secretion, decreases Mir-29 expression, activates Wnt- signaling and its components GSK3B, ICAT/CTNNBIP1, HBP1, and GLIS2, attenuates pathologic hypertrophy, inhibits fibrosis of the heart tissue, and improves cardiac function, via upregulation of its target gene, 8/April/2018, 11.14 pm
