Understanding the genetic basis of human disease in the context of diagnosis to prevent and find cure is possible from an increase in the number and scale of disease-association studies that are carried out in all populations. To the reader’s knowledge, there are 51 contemporary ethnic (category of population with presumed common genealogy) groups in the world today. Population groups with differences determined by ethnicity also show differences in terms of illness behaviour which is a result of genome related variation. Medical conditions such as sickle cell disease and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease; cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes are classic examples with altered prevalence and patterns in different ethnic groups.

Read MoreNo two individuals are phenotypically identical. Seldom if they are identical by genotypes too , their individual biochemistr y may differ subject to predisposition to different environments. One should definitely know why one human is different from other or why one human is more susceptible.
Read MoreIn our previous communication, we pondered about the giant global collaborative effort of National Institute of Health (NIH) that has achieved something which no individual or company could do, “the human genome sequencing” as a part of Human Genome Project (HGP).
Read MoreEvolution is an ongoing process. Change and transformation is inevitable for every organism including man. It is imperative for us to realize that only humans have acquired the unique capability of rationale thinking and decision making for sustenance and survival. Our world is bestowed with different languages and cultures. While philosophical poets quote that music and nature have no language, the scientic poets claim that we are all governed by the universal language of DNA made of just four letters A, T, G and C that determine what we are, how we are and why we are unique from each other.
Read MoreThese days, all news in India is only about healthcare: heavy investments in healthcare, new apps for healthcare, new business models for healthcare and finally funding agencies with a mandate to fund basic and translational research coming forward to give away tax payer’s money generously to healthcare startups and established companies, but mental healthcare often remains, paradoxically, forgotten and ignored.

Read MoreTherapeutic nihilism refers to the "skepticism regarding the worth of therapeutic agents especially in a particular disease". The view that the era of modern medicine began with the introduction of the sulfonamides is supported by a standard textbook of pharmacology that refers to the years 1908-35 as being characterized by "therapeutic nihilism". The failure of several promising drugs in the clinical trial stages led to a sense of therapeutic nihilism in big pharma about the prospects of using chemical and biologics as effective treatment modalities.
Read MoreTransplantation is the act of transferring an organ, tissue, or cell from one body to another. Cell transplant (referred to hereby as stem cell transplant) is a process which involves either replacing diseased or ineffective tissue with healthy new stem cells. The two most common types of stem cell transplants are autologous or allogenic transplants. Both transplantation procedures are a common treatment option for treating cancers such as Leukemia, Lymphoma and Multiple Myeloma.
Read MoreMesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stromal stem cells that can be harvested from many different sources and differentiated into a variety of cell types. The effectiveness of MSCs based therapies is dependent on a gamut of factors which include differentiating state of the MSCs at the site of application, vehicle used and the nature/extent of injury. Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, coupled with genetic engineering and gene therapy are revolutionizing the way cell therapy is performed these days.
Read MoreStem cells remain a hot topic in academia and industry alike, and with the potential to cause a paradigm shift where many believe in their ability to differentiate into a variety of valuable cell types to use for treating diseases.
Read MorePrometheus is a Titan in Greek Mythology, best known as the creator of mankind and it’s greatest benefactor. He transgressed the law of gods and stole fire from Mount Olympus for the sake of humankind, for which he received a brutal punishment from Jupiter. Jupiter had him chained to mount Caucasus, where a vulture would prey on his liver daily. Legend has it that his liver renewed as quickly as it was devoured, which captures the body’s remarkable regenerative capacity.
Read MoreEveryone irrespective of their background seems to be talking about stem cells these days. Stem cells have garnered much attention because they can turn into all different types of cells and that too on demand. While the implications for the use of stem cells in medicine are profound, there are still a lot of practical barriers that need to be streamlined for realizing the full potential of stem cells as therapeutic tools.

Read More3D printing has been touted as one of the most disruptive technologies that have been making waves during the 21st century. Despite some initial negative press about the technology, it has been quickly catching up generating a lot of buzz in the industry and general public alike. 3D printing is also called additive manufacturing wherein three dimensional solid objects are produced by laying down successive layers of material until the object is created. Each of these layers can be seen as a thinly sliced horizontal cross-section of the eventual object. The ease of access to 3D templates, scanners, modeling software and printers that can print 3D objects has made our lives much easier.
Read MoreAn orphan disease is a rare disease (according to US criteria, a disease that affects fewer than 200,000 people) or a common disease that has been ignored. But, the true definition not known by many is that a disease category that has not been taken up by any pharmaceutical industry to research on as it provides little financial incentive for the private sector to make and market medicines to treat or cure.
Read MoreStem Cell Biology As Century Of Biology For Drug Discovery In Neurological Disorders New revelations into the biology of stem cells have raised expectations for their use in the treatment of neurologic diseases. Formerly, stem cell transplantation was promulgated as tools of replacing cells in central nervous system indicating that transplanted stem cells may decrease deleterious inflammation as well and improve endogenous recovery processes.

Read MoreThe human body, having deployed its white blood cells (WBCs) to the battleground, is in a state of perpetual war against microbes, foreign substances and potentially neoplastic cells. A subset of WBCs survey the the entire body through tunnels called blood vessels or guard specific tissues and provide constant reassurance of safety. Together, they form one of the strongest components of the immune system and are well equipped to handle pathogens that may have breached the primary barriers of defence, such as skin. A defect in the development of these cells would leave the body unprotected and susceptible to various infections.
Read MoreThe success of targeted therapies for a number of diseases including cancer rests on three major components: the right target(s), the right drug and drug combination, and the right patient population. Although much progress has been made in understanding the mechanism of disease and in re?ning pharmaceutical properties of therapeutic agents, the attrition rates between target discovery and drug marketing approval have been high, especially in Oncology.

Read MoreIt seems that heart pumps 2,000 gallons of blood flowing through the 60,000 miles of blood vessels that feed our organs and tissues. Any damage to the heart or its valves can reduce that pumping action, forcing the heart to work harder just to keep up with the body's demand for blood. Poets say "The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart". Clinicians and Scientists advice to change the brand of cooking oil periodically or stick to the use of olive oil alone to keep a healthy heart.
