Epigenetic Modifications in Health, Disease, and Precision Therapeutics (From Genome to Epigenome)
Abstract: Introduction: Epigenetic alterations play a crucial role in regulating gene expression in both normal physiological and disease states. These reversible modifications—such as DNA methylation, histone acetylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and chromatin remodelling—are increasingly implicated in complex diseases including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Despite advances in standard therapeutic approaches, patient responses remain variable, largely due to genetic heterogeneity and epigenetic dysregulation. This highlights the need for incorporating epigenetic understanding into personalized medicine. …

Gut Microbial Metabolites in Inflammatory, Metabolic, and Neurologic Disorders.
Abstract: The human gut microbiota transforms dietary and hostderived substrates into a diverse array of metabolites—including shortchain fatty acids (SCFAs), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), bile acid derivatives, indoles, trimethylamine Noxide (TMAO), branchedchain amino acid (BCAA) derivatives, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)—that act as key signaling mediators along epithelial, immune, endocrine, and neural axes. These metabolites regulate barrier integrity, energy homeostasis, inflammation, and gut–brain communication and are increasingly implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel …

Role of Impaired Digestion in Disease Pathogenesis: According to Unani System of Medicine
Abstract: The relationship between digestion and disease occupies a central position in Greco-Arab (Unani) medicine, as emphasized by classical physicians such as Ibn Sina and Al-Razi. In Unani medicine, digestion (Haḍm) is not confined to the gastrointestinal tract alone but represents a comprehensive physiological and metabolic process involving four sequential stages: gastric digestion (Haḍm-e-Mi‘dī), hepatic digestion (Haḍm-e-Kabidī), vascular digestion (Haḍm-e-‘Urūqī), and tissue digestion (Haḍm-e-‘Uḍwī). These stages are governed by Quwwat-e-Hāḍima (digestive …

Role of Electron Donors in MgCl2 Supported Ziegler-Natta Catalysis: DFT Approach
Abstract: An insight into the nature of carbonate-based electron donors in high-activity MgCl2 supported Ziegler-Natta (Z-N) catalysts has been studied and compared with conventional phthalate and diether systems by employing density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In the catalyst activation (one of the important processes to produce the active catalyst sites), the conventional monometallic and recently characterized bimetallic (TiCl2(Et)–Cl–AlEt2) active site are studied in the presence/absence of electron donors. These active sites …

A Review on Amino Acids
Abstract: Protein is made up of amino acids, which are the building blocks of the molecule. Only 20 amino acids are involved in protein synthesis, even though more than 300 amino acids have been identified. In nature, all twenty amino acids did not appear at the same time. Rather, some of them appeared first, while others were later incorporated into the genetic code. It is vital to include them in one's …

Predicting and Prohibiting the Risk of Heart Failure Using Machine Learning
Abstract: It is challenging to estimate the likelihood of complex chronic disease while treating conditions like heart failure. The application of machine learning, an area of artificial intelligence, in cardiovascular care is growing quickly. In essence, it defines how computers classify and understand data, or choose a task with or without human intervention. The theoretical underpinnings of machine learning are models that accept input data (such as images or text) and …
