    The Global and Regional Challenge of Pan-Antibiotic Resistance: A Review of Emerging Threats and Mechanisms

    By Sharique Ahmad, Dilshad Ali Rizvi, Md Shumayel Athar Khan, Subuhi Anwar, Ruvy Verma, Mayuri Agarwal

    Abstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the major and most intricate threats to the health of the 21st century as it is core to the undermined expertise of the common clinical practice and public health security worldwide. The problem is characterized by the extensive development of bacterial pathogens into extremely drug-resistant (XDR) and pan-drug-resistant (PDR) so- called superbugs faster than it can be done with therapeutics. It is a synthesis …

    Cellular Mechanisms of Autophagy in Carcinogenesis: A Narrative Review

    By Sharique Ahmad, Shekhar Srivastava, Raushan Kumar, Pooja Srivastav, Pushpendra D. Pratap, Faiza Hasan Khan

    Abstract: Autophagy is a highly conserved lysosomal degradation pathway essential for cellular homeostasis, metabolic adaptation, and survival under stress. In the context of carcinogenesis, autophagy exhibits a paradoxical and stage-dependent role. During early tumor development, autophagy acts as a tumor-suppressive mechanism by limiting genomic instability, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation. Conversely, in established malignancies, cancer cells exploit autophagy to sustain growth, survive hostile tumor microenvironments, and resist anticancer therapies. Increasing evidence …

    Glitches in the Implementation of Bioinformatics in Medical Settings: A Comprehensive Review

    By Sharique Ahmad, Sheza Waqar Beg, Mehnaz Khan, Mohd Ibrahim, Rashi Vaish, Pushpendra D. Pratap

    Abstract: Bioinformatics is a dynamic field at the intersection of biology, computer science, and information technology, offering new possibilities in medicine by enabling a deeper understanding of genomics, molecular biology, and personalized treatment approaches. Its integration into healthcare could greatly enhance diagnostics, enable tailored treatments for individuals, and facilitate the analysis of large biological datasets. However, despite its potential, several barriers impede its successful implementation in clinical settings. These include technical …

    Unravelling the Environment, Aroma, and Molecular Effects on Mood Fluctuations: A Review

    By Sharique Ahmad, Pushpendra D. Pratap

    Abstract: The ebb and flow of human emotions encompass a complex interplay of molecular processes governing mood fluctuations. This comprehensive review navigates the intricate realm of neurotransmitters, neuroplasticity, hormonal influences, genetics, and inflammation to unravel the molecular tapestry that shapes our emotional states. Foundational to mood regulation are neurotransmitters – serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine – orchestrating delicate balances within neural circuits. Recent molecular neuroscience elucidates their receptor pathways and signaling cascades, …

    Metabolic Reprogramming in Carcinogenesis: An Overview

    By Sharique Ahmad, Nishat I. Iram, Priyesh Srivastava, Sidrah Fatima, Sharique Ahmad, Raushan Kumar

    Abstract: Metabolic reprogramming is a crucial mechanism via which cells modify their metabolic pathways to adjust to changes in the environment and maintain growth, survival, and function. This phenomenon is of utmost importance in a wide range of physiological and pathological situations, specifically in cancer, immunological responses, and stem cell biology. In cancer, metabolic reprogramming facilitates fast cell growth and survival, as demonstrated by the Warburg effect, where cancer cells prioritize …
