The Parasitic Fingerprint: Tracing Infection to Host Illness
Abstract: Parasitic infections remain a major global health burden, causing significant morbidity and mortality, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. A critical aspect of disease pathogenesis is the unique molecular and cellular imprint left by parasites in their hosts, termed the “parasitic fingerprint.” These fingerprints encompass parasite-derived proteins, nucleic acids, metabolites, extracellular vesicles, and host responses, including gene expression changes, cytokine profiles, and metabolic adaptations. Advances in multi-omics technologies, which integrate …

Vaccination in the Era of Precision Medicine: Tailoring Immunization Strategies for Individual Risk Profiles
Abstract: The introduction of precision medicine has caused a paradigm change in the vaccine landscape. Conventionally, vaccination programmes have been homogeneous, targeting immunity at the population level without taking into consideration the individual differences in immune response and vulnerability to diseases that can be prevented by vaccination. However, a more individualised approach to immunisation has been made possible by current developments in genetics, immunology, and data analytics. Within the context of …

Artificial Intelligence in Early Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease
Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a disruptive technology in the medical care industry, with potential solutions to early diagnosis and customized treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), a progressive neurodegenerative disease and the most prevalent cause of dementia globally. Conventional diagnostic techniques, such as cognitive, neuroimaging and biomarker techniques, are usually limited in the ability to detect disease at its most susceptible stage when treatment interventions are most effective. The recent …

From Humours to Metabolism: An Integrative Review of Obesity Management in Unani Medicine
Abstract: Unani Medicine, a traditional complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) system, adopts a holistic, temperament-based approach to disease prevention and management. In classical Unani literature, obesity is described as Simān-e-Mufriṭ, a pathological condition arising from humoral imbalance, particularly the predominance of phlegm (Balgham) and derangement of temperament (Su’-e-Mizāj), most commonly of a cold and moist nature. This condition is attributed to a sedentary lifestyle, weakened digestive and metabolic faculties, and excessive …

Metabolites in Modern Medicine: Decoding the Future of Health and Diseases
Abstract: The end products of many metabolic processes in cells are called metabolites. Each reaction contributes a specific metabolite. Metabolites act as fingerprints of on-going biological processes. Constant changes in cellular composition due to both environmental and internal factors. By analysing the types and presence of metabolites, scientists can effectively reconstruct the inner workings of a cell or organism. In the past, analysing metabolites was a slow and tedious process, often …
