It has always been argued that breakdown in homeostasis is the real cause of disease. This point is amply illustrated by the recent PNAS article that correlated the miniscule amounts of copper in the mice diet with A-beta clearance and would have an implication for Alzheimer’s disease. In this case, the presence of copper affected…
There are so many tools available these days for biologists. It is such a dream…For example, to show which protein interacts with others, it is possible to just plug-in a protein name and find all the other proteins using “String”.In this example the search was for proteins interacting with Tau (Microtubule associated protein – MTAP)…

It is amazing how much thought and science goes into producing food substances that we take for granted. The real wasabi owes its fiery nature to a volatile chemical called allyl isothiocyanate that binds to specific receptor in humans called TRPA1 – (Transient receptor potential) that is activated by heat in some instances. This allyl…
There are many G-protein coupled receptors and one of the major categories for neurological drug development are called muscarinic receptors because they were first known to be activated by a mushroom alkaloid called muscarine. The isolation and characterization of muscarine was first reported by chemists in 1869! Muscarine works by mimicking the neurotransmitter acteylcholine on…
Much of biological science and technologies are trying to cure disease. However, there are a large group of people who do not want to be cured. There are several instances and examples where they have objected vehemently about not doing things that would cure their ailment. What ailment ? Deafness. Deafness has been cured to…
