  • Investigation of Candidate Genes and Mechanisms Underlying Obesity
    Prashanth et al. BMC Endocrine Disorders (2021) 21:80 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12902-021-00718-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Investigation of candidate genes and mechanisms underlying obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus using bioinformatics analysis and screening of small drug molecules G. Prashanth1 , Basavaraj Vastrad2 , Anandkumar Tengli3 , Chanabasayya Vastrad4* and Iranna Kotturshetti5 Abstract Background: Obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder ; however, the etiology of obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus remains largely unknown. There is an urgent need to further broaden the understanding of the molecular mechanism associated in obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: To screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) that might play essential roles in obesity associated type 2 diabetes mellitus, the publicly available expression profiling by high throughput sequencing data (GSE143319) was downloaded and screened for DEGs. Then, Gene Ontology (GO) and REACTOME pathway enrichment analysis were performed. The protein - protein interaction network, miRNA - target genes regulatory network and TF-target gene regulatory network were constructed and analyzed for identification of hub and target genes. The hub genes were validated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis and RT- PCR analysis. Finally, a molecular docking study was performed on over expressed proteins to predict the target small drug molecules. Results: A total of 820 DEGs were identified between

This work has been carried out at the Group of Biology of Reproduction (GBR), at the Department of Renewable Marine Resources of the Institute of Marine Sciences (ICM-CSIC). Thesis supervisor: Dr. Francesc Piferrer Professor d’Investigació Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) i ii A mis padres A Xavi iii iv Acknowledgements This thesis has been made possible by the support of many people who in one way or another, many times unknowingly, gave me the strength to overcome this "long and winding road". First of all, I would like to thank my supervisor, Dr. Francesc Piferrer, for his patience, guidance and wise advice throughout all this Ph.D. experience. But above all, for the trust he placed on me almost seven years ago when he offered me the opportunity to be part of his team. Thanks also for teaching me how to question always everything, for sharing with me your enthusiasm for science and for giving me the opportunity of learning from you by participating in many projects, collaborations and scientific meetings. I am also thankful to my colleagues (former and present Group of Biology of Reproduction members) for your support and encouragement throughout this journey. To the “exGBRs”, thanks for helping me with my first steps into this world. Working as an undergrad with you Dr.

    BASIC RESEARCH www.jasn.org Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell–Derived Podocytes Mature into Vascularized Glomeruli upon Experimental Transplantation † Sazia Sharmin,* Atsuhiro Taguchi,* Yusuke Kaku,* Yasuhiro Yoshimura,* Tomoko Ohmori,* ‡ † ‡ Tetsushi Sakuma, Masashi Mukoyama, Takashi Yamamoto, Hidetake Kurihara,§ and | Ryuichi Nishinakamura* *Department of Kidney Development, Institute of Molecular Embryology and Genetics, and †Department of Nephrology, Faculty of Life Sciences, Kumamoto University, Kumamoto, Japan; ‡Department of Mathematical and Life Sciences, Graduate School of Science, Hiroshima University, Hiroshima, Japan; §Division of Anatomy, Juntendo University School of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan; and |Japan Science and Technology Agency, CREST, Kumamoto, Japan ABSTRACT Glomerular podocytes express proteins, such as nephrin, that constitute the slit diaphragm, thereby contributing to the filtration process in the kidney. Glomerular development has been analyzed mainly in mice, whereas analysis of human kidney development has been minimal because of limited access to embryonic kidneys. We previously reported the induction of three-dimensional primordial glomeruli from human induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Here, using transcription activator–like effector nuclease-mediated homologous recombination, we generated human iPS cell lines that express green fluorescent protein (GFP) in the NPHS1 locus, which encodes nephrin, and we show that GFP expression facilitated accurate visualization of nephrin-positive podocyte formation in

Abstract Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) is the cause of COVID-19 which is the pandemic as of the current time. It is a global public health emergency and is still on the loose of spreading more infections and deaths. Bioinformat- ics offer extensive visualization and analysis of combined molecular, cellular, biochemical and immunobiologic aspects of SARS-CoV-2 which is indeed vital for antibody and vaccine development. Objectives: This paper presents the SARS-CoV-2 molecular virologic, biochemical, cellular and immunobiologic features and gives a basic B cell linear epitope prediction of the SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) glycoprotein using bioinformatics which both can serve as a guide for development of vaccines or antibody-based treatments. Methods: Several bioinformatic methods were used, from sequence analysis (Uniprot), structural correlation (PDB), molecular mod- elling (UCSF Chimera) and illustration (Biorender), B cell linear epitope prediction tools, conservancy analysis and search of related epitopes (IEDB) together with determination of disordered regions (GlobPlot and DisEMBL).

  • Technical Issues in Measuring Dropout in Primary Schools in Quetta Aamara Bibi Mrs Amir Bano Mr. Abdul Wahab Abstract
    1 Bi-Annual Research Journal “Journal of Education & Humanities Research” ISSN: 2415-2366 Institute of Education and Research (IER), UOB, Quetta Pakistan Vol.6.NO 2, 2018 Technical Issues in Measuring Dropout In Primary Schools In Quetta Aamara Bibi M.Phil. Scholar. Balochistan Study Center, University of Balochistan, Quetta. Mrs Amir Bano Assistant Professor. IER, University of Balochistan, Quetta. Mr. Abdul Wahab Lecturer, IER, University of Balochistan, Quetta. Abstract: The issue of Primary school dropouts has produced expanded interest among Teachers, policymakers and Researchers especially in last few years. many technical issued are being faced in measuring this social phenomenon This Quantitative study on technical issues in measuring dropout looks at the technical issues faced into comprehend and understand this social and instructive issue which has direct impacts on society. To figure out the issue two areas have been focused for covering the data through self-constructed questionnaire , first random sampling with (50) fifty primary school Head teachers and second with stratified random sampling by educational administrators in Quetta. The data analysis tool based on Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) which is assisted in measuring the data in descriptive and cluster form. Results of the study with discussion identified crucial finding especially for the future research and helpful paper for educational administration of Balochistan to revisit the policies regarding measuring method of dropout. The recommendations and implications are also discussed at the end of this study. Key Words. Technical issues. Dropout. Primary schools. Quetta. 2 Introduction Education with no doubt universally is considered as key for development in socio-economic conscious countries.
