A Conceptual Exploration of Carbohydrate, Protein, and Fat Metabolism within the Realm of 3D Computational Biology
Abstract: Maintaining energy balance within the body is just as crucial as other vital physiological processes. Energy is generated through a myriad of chemical reactions occurring within the cells of all living organisms. This unique characteristic enables living organisms to extract energy from their surroundings and utilize it for essential activities such as growth, development, and reproduction. While it is commonly assumed that individuals with lower body weight have higher metabolic …

Autophagy: Therapeutic Approach For Cancer Treatment
Abstract: Intracellular catabolic degradation of lysosomal components is called as autophagy. The autophagy is working for “Cellular Garbage Disposal and Intracellular Recycling”. It serves to orchestrate the process of cellular homeostasis. It is achieved through elimination of superfluous or damaged proteins and organelles; through invading microbes; through the provision of substrates for energy generation and through the biosynthesis in stress. The autophagy promotes the cellular health and there by the health …

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 …

Engineering Fatty Acid Oxidation Pathway for the Production of Yeast-based Monomers
Abstract: Yeast-based monomers have a wider application in many fields and used for polymer production. Yeast system is used to improve the production of such valuable monomers by exploiting the metabolic pathways of interest. Alkane-utilizing yeasts mediate the fatty acid catabolism inside the peroxisomes primarily through beta (β) oxidation pathway, which breaks up the long chain fatty acids resulting in the synthesis of energy producing molecules. This allows the reduced inflow …

Coriander Seed Extract Enhances the Yield of T2 Bacteriophage in E. coli by Stimulating Adenylate Cyclase
Abstract: Coriander has been shown to have antibacterial activity in vitro. Relatively low concentrations of coriander seed extract added to LB broth have no effect on the growth of Escherichia coli. The addition of coriander seed extract to E. coli cultures growing in LB broth at a concentration of 0.012% enhanced the yield of T2 bacteriophage up to 225% of the control. Varying the length of time the extract was present …
