Anti-infective Therapy: Anisomycin, a pyrrolidine antibiotic that functions a protein synthesis inhibitor,  inhibits Hepatitis-B/C, Dengue, Zika, Ebola, HIV-1, Mtb, Malaria, CMV, Influenza H1NI1,  respiratory syncytial,  Sindbis, and SFV viruses by increasing the Levels of the Antiviral Proteins IFITM3, & Interferon-stimulated gene 15, 24/March/2019, 5.08 pm

Introduction: What they say: A study from the Ragon Institute of Massachusetts General Hospital, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Harvard Medical School, Charlestown, MA 02129, USA shows that “The IFITM proteins mediate cellular resistance to influenza A H1N1 virus, West Nile virus, and dengue virus.” This study was published, in the 24 December 2009 issue of the […]

Ribonucleic acid-based therapy for cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis: LncRNA ROR 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, 24/March/2019, 4.31 pm

Introduction: What they say: A recent study from the Institute of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Technical University Munich (TUM), 80802, Munich, Germany; DZHK (German Center for Cardiovascular Research), partner site Munich Heart Alliance, 80802, Munich, Germany; and Mount Sinai, Cardiovascular Research Center, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, NY, 10029, USA shows that […]

Mechanistic insights into how exercise may ameliorate Diabetes Mellitus: Physical exercise augments the expression of FGF19 and FGF1,  attenuates hepatic glucose production, decreases hepatic acetyl CoA content, brings down the levels of plasma ACTH, and corticosterone, augments insulin sensitivity, promotes weight loss and alleviates TIDM, via upregulation of its target gene, 23/March/2019, 7.19 pm

Introduction: What they say  A study from Diabetes and Obesity Center of Excellence, Department of Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA shows that Central injection of FGF1 induces sustained remission of diabetic hyperglycemia in rodents. This research paper was published, in the 23 May 2016 issue of the journal “Nature Medicine” [One of the […]

Interleukin-based Anti-infective Therapy: IL-24  inhibits Hepatitis-B/C, Dengue, Zika, Ebola, HIV-1, Mtb, Malaria, CMV, Influenza H1NI1,  respiratory syncytial,  Sindbis, and SFV viruses by increasing the Levels of the Antiviral Proteins IFITM3, & Interferon-stimulated gene 15, 23/March/2019, 7.04 pm
