The docking analysis revealed that among all the phytoconstituents of Ocimum sanctum compound (IX), molludistin has showed good inhibitory activity against S-adenosyl homocysteine, thus preventing homocysteine formation and may be responsible for potential effects of EEOS against HHcy-induced VaD. From our results, we conclude that EEOS can be used as a promising adjunct therapy for treatment of HHcy-induced VaD and oxidative stress.Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease involving progressive and selective loss of motor neurons, muscle weakness, paralysis and death. The pathogenesis of ALS is not clearly understood, while reliable prognostic markers have not been identified to detect symptoms at earlier time points. The rapid development of microarray technology offers great potential for simultaneous analysis of the transcriptional expression of thousands of genes, aiming to determine novel candidate targets for efficient treatment. Additionally, metabolomics, as a high-throughput approach, is gaining significant attention in ALS research providing an opportunity to develop predictive biomarkers that may be utilized as indicators of clinical symptoms of ALS. In this review, recent evidences from gene expression profiling studies in ALS are illustrated in order to examine molecular signatures related to the disease’s pathogenesis and potential discovery of therapeutic targets. Moreover, potent challenges are presented regarding the utilization of the metabolomics approach as a diagnostic tool in context with distinctive biomarkers’ identification.X-linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), also known as Kennedy syndrome, is an adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder characterized by slowly progressive muscle atrophy and other severe symptoms gradually leading to reduced mobility and ultimately to death due to respiratory failure. Two decades ago we reported the first prenatal diagnosis of SBMA worldwide. Here we present a Greek family in which we have performed seven prenatal DNA tests for SBMA mutation after extensive genetic counseling. Since there is not yet a cure for SBMA, prenatal testing may be a good choice for couples at risk for prevention of this neurodegenerative disorder in their offspring. The issues addressed during genetic counseling for such a disabling disorder of adult onset are discussed as a paradigm for other conditions with similar characteristics.In the present work, new indole derivatives, i.e., 5- azaindole 2,3- di-one derivatives, are synthesized and characterized. These compounds were subjected to acute toxicity and then screened for antiepileptic activity on maximal electroshock seizure (MES) model in albino Wistar rats. In that study 5- Azaindole-3-hydrazone,2-one and 5- Azaindole 2-one,3-thiothiosemicarbazone(IIIa) showed good antiepileptic activity and less neurotoxicity compared to phenytoin. The purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of 5- Indole 2,3- di one and 5- Azaindole 2-one,3-thiosemicarbazone(IIIa) derivatives on biogenic amines concentrations in rat brain after induction of seizures by MES method. The aim of study was relationship between seizure activities and altered the monoamines such as Noradrenaline (NA), Dopamine (DA), Serotonin (5-HT) in forebrain of rats in MES seizure models. In MES model, study of 5- Azaindole 3-hydrazone,2-one(Va) and 5-Azaindole 2-one,3-thiosemicarbazone(IIIa) (100 mg/kg) showed significant restoration of the decreased levels of brain monoamines such as noradrenaline, dopamine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine. Thus, this study suggests that 5- Azaindole 3-hydrazone,2-one (V) and 5- Azaindole 2-one,3-thiosemicarbazone (IIIa) increased the monoamines on rat brain, which may decrease the susceptibility to MES-induced seizure in rats.Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare, neurodegenerative disease that affects the human motor system. ALS is a highly heterogeneous disease, depending on several causative factors. The heterogeneity of the disease is also reflected in the variation of the symptoms in ALS patients. The worldwide annual incidence of ALS is about 2.08 per 100,000 with uniform rates in Caucasian populations and lower rates in African, Asian, and Hispanic populations, while the number of individuals with ALS is expected to grow significantly between 2015 and 2040 with an estimated increase of 69% (Chio et al. 2013a; Arthur et al. Tovorafenib chemical structure 2016).In recent years, popular culture has been graced with countless news announcing novel developments in genome editing. While many experiments are still in their early stages, genome editing seems very promising. Often betraying a sensationalist and triumphant tone, news coverage focuses on the potentials that these developments will have for the advancement of the human species, i.e., the eradication of disease, the extension of life, the improvement of the body and its appearance, etc. The future looks hopeful and unproblematic according to these accounts. On the opposite end of the spectrum, some may wonder whether these developments pose a potential worsening of the human condition Are these developments safe? What are the ethical implications? Who will benefit from these developments? Given today’s social divisions and cultural conflicts, these voices predict a rather unpromising future and warn against the pursue of innovation at any cost.Public experimental embryology opens a relationship between an embryo and an amateur transgenic designer. Artists produce real-world effects by forcing hereditary aesthetics on developing bodies. This lab was meant to aid in public understanding of the relationship between transgenics and aesthetics. How do we to take an active and hands-on tactical stance on the role of hereditary designer and how does this help in public analysis of the bioethics of genetic engineering. Through naming and funeral rites, we assign the embryos an uncertain amount of clout or cultural worth. This lab is an example of how to understand the relationship between institutional oversight in pre-animal experimentation, embryonic dignity, and the problem of humane sacrifice. The intention is to make a hands-on wet bioart lab meant to aid in public comprehension of the range of politics and responsibilities involved in play at the level of heredity. The Developmental Biology and Transgenic Avian Embryology Bioart Wet Lab was held in Gorlaeus Laboratories, LIC, University of Leiden, Leiden, Netherlands, 2007.
