UCI team develops simplified, faster process for detection of viral RNA in saliva samples – UCI News

Posted on by

UCI researchers have originated a simplified, faster clinical sample testing method to detect genetic material, including viral RNA. Their findings were recently published in the journal Scientific Reports. We showed that a saliva sample withdrawn using a simple microbiological loop can be directly analyzed in a single collection tube, using common and precise DNA amplification techniques such as RT-PCR and LAMP, for detecting viruses, said corresponding author Andrej Luptak, professor of pharmaceutical sciences. We significantly streamlined and accelerated the process through the elimination of several steps in sample collection, extraction, purification and further manipulation. They also discovered that by using a common detergent to denature the sample, it became noninfectious and much easier to handle. When the sample isnt manipulated outside the collection tube, there is virtually no risk of contamination of the testing equipment or personnel, enabling nonspecialists to conduct the procedure. We plan to apply this method for other types of clinical samples and potentially automate the process, Luptak said. Other researchers on the project were co-leaders Matthew Inlay, associate professor of molecular biology and biochemistry, and Bert Semler, Distinguished Professor of microbiology & molecular genetics; Kyle Cole, a graduate student in molecular biology; Alexis Bouin, a postdoctoral scholar in microbiology & molecular genetics; and assistant specialist Caila Ruiz, now at Zymo Research Corp.

A study of old flies offers new insight into retinal degeneration – ASBMB Today

Posted on by

While bright light helps us see better, our eyes need darkness for better vision. Light breaks down the sensitive machinery of our eyes every day, and during the darkness of night, key pieces are rebuilt. The clock of our circadian rhythms runs this process, and researchers have found that if the clock is disrupted, our eyes may be at greater risk of retinal degeneration as we age.

Fruit flies give insight into age-related changes in human vision. A team of researchers discovered the circadian clock plays a significant role in protecting eyes from retinal degeneration. The team studied fruit flies, which serve as a good model for the human retina. Vikki Weake, associate professor of biochemistry in Purdue's College of Agriculture, led the team.

Imagine if we could slow or prevent vision loss from retinal degeneration, said Vikki Weake, associate professor of biochemistry in Purdue Universitys College of Agriculture, who led the study. To do this, we need to understand the molecular mechanisms that drive age-associated changes and the external and internal factors that influence them. In this study, we discovered the circadian clock plays a surprisingly significant role in age-related changes in the retina. This internal clock may be critical in advanced age to prevent retinal degeneration and maintain eye health.

The team studied the eyes of Drosophila flies, a common model for the human eye. However, the study was uncommon in its use of multiple time points during aging, focus on photoreceptor neurons and new data analysis approaches. The findings are detailed in a paper in PLOS Genetics.

In our earlier studies, just focusing on gene expression, we were missing part of the story, Weake said. By looking at changes in chromatin that alter access to the underlying DNA during aging, we were able to identify some of the transcription factors that drive these gene expression changes in the aging eye.

Weake acknowledges doctoral student Juan Jupa Jauregui-Lozano for the idea for and application of the bioinformatics technique used.

I came across a powerful bioinformatics technique that can identify changes in transcription factor activity, helping us to understand gene regulation, Jauregui-Lozano said. The results revealed that the transcription factors Clock and Cycle - known for their role in circadian rhythm showed progressive changes in activity with age. This fits with what we know about eye biology, and this unbiased approach led us to identify Clock and Cycle as interesting targets to study.

Vikki Weake, associate professor of biochemistry in Purdue's College of Agriculture, sits at a microscope in her lab.

The technique, called diffTF, looks at changes in DNA accessibility in chromatin between different conditions. It generates a panel of potential candidates to pursue, as opposed to a research team beginning with a target gene in mind.

Clock and Cycle were known for being master regulators of circadian rhythms, but we saw they also regulate nearly all of the genes involved in sensing light in the retina, Jauregui-Lozano said. When the Clock:Cycle complex is disrupted, flies are susceptible to light-dependent retinal degeneration, and light-independent increase of oxidative stress. In humans, disruption of circadian rhythms has been associated with the onset of several age-related eye diseases. This is another piece of the puzzle.

Regulating the time at which these proteins are made is important to protect the light-sensing neurons and retain vision, Weake said.

The proteins involved in sensing light are delicate and degrade during the day when they are exposed to light, she said. If the circadian clock is off and these proteins arent made at the right time, its a problem.

The study found this complex controlled gene expression of nearly 20% of the active genes in Drosophila photoreceptors. The study also found the complex was responsible for maintaining global levels of chromatin accessibility in photoreceptors, a critical step in transcription of genes.

Co-author Hana Hall, research assistant professor of biochemistry at Purdue, performed light and dark experiments to see the effect on gene transcription when she was a researcher in Weakes lab.

Unlike most cells in the human body, neurons dont divide and replicate. The death of neurons lead to degenerative disease, Hall said. Because of this the cellular processes involved in repairing and regulating them are especially important. Proteins achieve this, and genes control which proteins are produced.

Aging is the main risk factor for neurodegenerative disease, Hall said. If we can understand the mechanics of how things get off track or become misregulated in our later years, we may be able to prevent or slow down the progression of these diseases. Vision loss affects a persons lifespan, independence and quality of life. Even delaying onset by five years could make a tremendous difference. We have ideas, and we are going to seek the answers.

The research team also included doctoral student Sarah Stanhope and undergraduate students Kimaya Bakhle and Makayla M. Marlin.

The National Eye Institute of the NIH (R01EY024905) and the Bird Stair Research Fellowship and Ross Lynn Research Scholar funded this work.

The tumor volume after radical prostatectomy and its clinical impact on the prognosis of patients with localized prostate cancer | Scientific Reports…

Posted on by

In this study, we investigated the overall contribution of TV and TV/PV according to the risk group systems from DAmico criteria and NCCN guidelines and observed that TV significantly increased in the higher risk groups of both systems. The patients of the low risk group exhibited a TV of 23 cm3, with a tumor diameter between 1.4 and 1.6cm when the tumor is assumed to be spherical, and a TV between 1.3 and 1.4cm when the tumor is assumed to be a regular hexahedron. Large tumors awere significantly related to an increased postoperative BCR in our multi-variate Cox proportional hazard analyses. The preoperative PSA, clinical stage, prostate volume, percentage of positive biopsy cores, and maximal tumor length among positive biopsy cores were significantly related to high TV and high TV/PV in our multi-variate regression tests.

TV has been presented as a significant prognostic factor of PCa in several papers2, 4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12. Stamey et al. reported that cancer volume and high Gleason score were significantly related with worse BCR-free survival after analyzing the results of 379 patients who were treated with radical prostatectomy2. They argued that the exact way to predict cancer volume may be helpful in predicting the outcomes of PCa surgery. Subsequently, Nelson et al. investigated the effect of TV on pathologic outcomes and biochemical recurrence after surgery5. They concluded that TV directly correlated with pathological stage and PSA recurrence after radical prostatectomy; therefore, TV was revealed as an independent predictor for worse prognosis in patients with localized PCa. Another study by Chun et al. showed that cancer volume and high Gleason score were the independent predictors for postoperative BCR in their relatively large cohort of 780 participants treated with radical prostatectomy4. Furthermore, another study by Uhlman et al. analyzed data from a large cohort of 3528 participants who were treated with radical prostatectomy to evaluate the prognostic influence of TV16. They analyzed TV with BCR-free survival, even though significant difference existed in their BCR-free survival rates after univariate KaplanMeier analyses.

However, there were other studies showing contradictory results regarding the use of TV as a predictive prognostic factor13,14,15,16. Kikuchi et al. also analyzed a larger cohort of 1302 participants who were also treated with radical prostatectomy. They observed only a weak relationship with postoperative prognosis, but no statistically significant results were obtained from multi-variate analyses13. Merrill et al. analyzed a large cohort of 1833 participants who were also treated with radical prostatectomy and found that TV was significantly associated with a higher rate of BCR in the high pathologic Gleason score subgroup (3+4), but not in the Gleason 6 subgroup (3+3)15. Another study by May et al. reported that absolute TV was unable to predict postoperative BCR, unlike relative TV (TV/total prostate volume), which showed significant results in predicting prognosis14. However, in our study, TV and TV/PV were significant independent predictors predicting BCR. As for the accuracy of prediction, TV/PV and TV do not have a big difference, but it is easier and more beneficial to use TV/PV than TV (Fig.2; Supplementary Fig.1). And in our study, high TV was associated with worse clinical characteristics such as worth pathologic state, rate of EPE, SVI, high-risk group, more positive biopsy core, and longer tumor length. There is no consensus on this, but men with larger prostate will have higher testosterone levels than men with smaller prostate. It may be associated with more aggressive prostate cancer. It can be estimated that the more aggressive prostate cancer, the more active cell-to-cell migration or progression will be.

Lately, focal therapy is gaining more attention with clinical benefits in terms of better erectile and urinary functions after treatment22. However, there are still limitations for focal therapy, because tumor location cannot be exactly predicted using conventional imaging modalities and biopsy protocols23. The understanding of the epidemiology of TV is quite important when planning and finding optimal candidates for focal therapy. We observed from our results that the mean TV was about 2.0cc for very low risk, 3.1cc for low risk, and 3.2cc for favorable intermediate risk group. Patients in the unfavorable intermediate risk group showed significantly larger TV than those in the favorable intermediate risk group (3.23.7cc versus 5.24.8cc, P<0.001). From our volumetric results of TV, we believe that the optimal candidates for focal therapy could be patients between very low risk and favorable intermediate risk groups. However, the patients in the very low risk group should be recommended for active surveillance.

Our study is certainly not without limitations. First, it is limited by its retrospective analyses, even though the data on TV was prospectively accumulated. Second, there is a possibility of selection bias since we only included patients treated with radical prostatectomy. Third, the present study only analyzed the total TV but not the detailed pathologic information about number of tumors and location, which is also important for prognosis of PCa patients. Even so, we believe that we provided the most recent data regarding the actual epidemiology of TV in patients treated with radical prostatectomy, which makes our study clinically meaningful.

University of Arizona Awarded the 2022 Beckman Scholars Program – University of Arizona News

Posted on by

Undergraduate researchers of today are the scientists of tomorrow. Supporting students to be independent, critical thinkers is essential, and giving them access to research opportunities helps to strengthen their own futures as well as the future of scientific research. As part of this effort, the Beckman Scholars Program provides the opportunity for exceptional undergraduate students in the chemical and biological sciences to grow as scientists through independent research and mentoring.

A prestigious award, the Beckman Scholars Program is only awarded to a handful of institutions that meet the criteria. These institutions must demonstrate a commitment to undergraduate research, have successfully competed at the national level for scientific research funding, and have dedicated faculty who have demonstrated an outstanding ability to mentor undergraduate students. As such, it is a great honor that one of this years 2022 Beckman Scholars Program grants has been awarded to the University of Arizona following a competitive process administered by the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation. Pictured right are UArizona's last four Beckman Scholars: Catherine Weibel, Amanda Warner, Randall Eck, and Jamie Takashima.

The 2022 UArizona Beckman Scholars Program is being led by Dr. Daniela Zarnescu, a Molecular and Cellular Biology faculty member and experienced Beckman Mentor. Faculty mentors are drawn from three UArizona departments within the College of Science: Chemistry and Biochemistry, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and Molecular and Cellular Biology. The Program will be housed under the Undergraduate Biology Research Program (UBRP) and administered by Ms. Marisa Lester, UBRP Assistant Program Director. UBRP is an ongoing UArizona research initiative that has been on campus since 1988 and is designed to teach students science by involving them in research. UBPR will provide additional support for the selected Beckman Scholars by integrating them into a peer network of fellow undergraduate researchers as well as having the scholars participate in and co-lead workshops.

The 2022 award supports six undergraduate students, two a year for three years. Beckman Scholars will be selected through a careful process that includes an original research proposal that demonstrates the students creativity, analytical skills, and familiarity with the scientific process. Selected scholars will work with a faculty mentor on an independent research project. These mentors, who are also members of UBRP, were recruited based on their scientific expertise, experience working with undergraduates, and demonstrated mentoring commitment. The new scholars will also be supported by previous Beckman Scholars.

As part of the program, Beckman Scholars are encouraged to author a peer-reviewed publication of their research. This will help the students to develop their scientific writing skills as well as to better understand the peer-review process. Scholars will also develop leadership and professional skills by inviting and arranging for an eminent scholar to speak each year at a Beckman Lecture. These speakers will be supported by committed funds from Dr. Betsy Cantwell, the UArizona Senior Vice President for Research. Additionally, the scholars will communicate their research with the public through appearing on the weekly KXCI Community Radio program Thesis Thursday.

An important aspect of the recruitment and selection of scholars and mentors is a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Ethnic and racial minorities, people with disabilities, and first-generation students are often underrepresented in scientific research programs. As such, the 2022 Beckman Scholars Program will actively recruit and select students from the diverse student body of the University of Arizona. Additionally, Beckman mentors of the program represent a diverse group of faculty across the three participating departments.

Beckman Scholars are leaders amongst their peers and significant contributors to their respective areas of research. Beckman alumni have continued onward to professional and graduate programs at some of the world's more prestigious institutions. Receiving this award showcases the excellence in undergraduate research at the University of Arizona.

Ground-Breaking Study Reveals Dynamics of DNA Replication ‘Licensing’ | Newsroom – UNC Health and UNC School of Medicine

Posted on by

This research, led by Jean Cook, PhD, and Liu Mei, PhD, at the UNC School of Medicine, may help explain why certain parts of the genome become highly mutable in some cancers.

CHAPEL HILL, NC A new study from scientists at the UNC School of Medicine has illuminated an important process that occurs during cell division and is a likely source of DNA damage under some circumstances, including cancer.

The scientists, who reported their findings in Nucleic Acids Research, devised a sophisticated experimental platform for studying the process called origin licensing. Cells use this process to regulate, or license the replication of their genomes during cell division.

The researchers revealed for the first time the dynamics of this process. They showed in particular how these dynamics differ and bring different risks of DNA damage during replication in the two basic states of genomic DNA, the euchromatin state which is relatively loose and open for gene activity, and the heterochromatin state which is wound more tightly to silence gene activity.

Our findings may help explain, for example, why certain portions of the genome are relatively susceptible to DNA damage during replication in some cancer cells, said study senior author Jean Cook, PhD, professor of biochemistry and biophysics at the UNC School of Medicine and member of the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Origin licensing occurs in the initial, preparatory phase of cell replication, known as the G1 phase. It involves sets of special enzymes that attach to the DNA in chromosomes at various locations where DNA-copying is to originate. The enzymes essentially license the copying of DNA so that cells dont copy their genomes more than once.

Cook and other scientists have described in prior studies the basic process of origin licensing, and have identified proteins that make it happen. But this study, for the first time, revealed in detail how the process unfolds over time in cells as they prepare for cell division. Study first author Liu Mei, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow in the Cook laboratory, combined still and time-lapse microscopic imaging techniques to accomplish this feat.

What Liu did was incredibly painstaking and meticulous, a technical tour de force, Cook said.

As an initial demonstration of her experimental platform, Mei compared the origin licensing process, with its loading of licensing enzymes, in the two main states of the genome euchromatin and heterochromatin. She found an important difference.

Essentially heterochromatin more compacted DNA loads these licensing enzymes relatively late compared to what we observe in the more open euchromatin, Mei said.

This finding hinted, at least, that in dividing cells with an abnormally shortened G1 phase, the more compacted DNA in the cell genome might never be fully licensed for replication, potentially resulting in large mutations during replication and even cell death. Confirming this possibility, the researchers found that when they artificially shortened the G1 phase in test cells, there was significantly more under-replication and DNA damage in heterochromatin regions of the cells genomes, compared to the euchromatin regions.

Cells can have a shortened G1 phase for different reasons, including due to cancer. Thus the study suggests that the genomic instability or tendency to develop more mutations of some cancer types, as well as the genomic locations of that instability, might be explained in part by faulty origin licensing.

The study also establishes the researchers experimental platform as a tool for further studies of origin licensing dynamics and genomic instability, studies that might someday yield new strategies against cancers, for example.

The consequences of differential origin licensing dynamics in distinct chromatin environments was co-authored by Liu Mei, Katarzyna Kedziora, Eun-Ah Song, Jeremy Purvis, and Jean Cook, all at UNC Chapel Hill.

Tackling chemical synthesis and advocacy | MIT News | Massachusetts Institute of Technology – MIT News

Posted on by

Azin Saebi was born and raised in Iran, emigrating to the U.S. with her family at 18 after graduating from high school. Now a fifth-year graduate student in chemistry, Saebi never intended to stay permanently; she initially expected to go back to Iran to attend university. With that in mind, when leaving for the U.S., she only packed a bag with enough belongings for a couple of months and had even booked a return flight.

Her plans changed, however, as she began to recognize the opportunities available to her at American colleges, and that the best way to improve her English would be to stay in the U.S. Since she hadnt taken the SAT or completed the requirements necessary to enter a traditional four-year college, she enrolled in community college with a plan to study biology and neuroscience, before transferring to UCLA.

In community college, Saebi discovered that she loved her undergraduate chemistry courses, so she joined an inorganic chemistry lab. I really clicked more with the day-to-day lab experiments in chemistry rather than biology. It was fun and exciting how I could take material A and material B, mix them together in a controlled way and get this new molecule, she says. To her, biology seemed like more of a black box. With chemistry, I could check the progress at every step along the way.

At MIT, Saebi is working at the intersection of chemistry and biology, designing novel strategies to synthesize proteins and to conjugate proteins together. Ultimately, these strategies have potential applications as antimicrobial compounds. In addition to her academic pursuits, she has devoted her time to advocating for diversity and inclusion initiatives and ensuring that students feel supported and heard within the chemistry department.

Lighting a fire of chemistry

When she started at Saddleback Community College, Saebi first chose to pursue a degree in neuroscience, with the intention of becoming a physician a path influenced by watching Greys Anatomy, she jokes. Taking organic chemistry also sparked an interest in the interface between chemistry and biology. A biochemistry course at UCLA further cemented this passion, and she found that she excelled in the subject. It was rather obvious that among neuroscience majors, [my reaction] to the class was an uncommon one, as it was generally considered a pretty irrelevant class to our core studies, she says.

Saebi decided to double major in neuroscience and biochemistry. An inspiring professor, Alexander Spokonyny, encouraged her to join his inorganic chemistry lab. He was the person that lit this fire of chemistry in me, she says. Under his guidance, she synthesized small-molecule inhibitors to study cocaine addiction.

In the fall of senior year, Saebi knew that she wanted to pursue this research thing and that her interest in medicine had taken a back seat. She decided to enroll in UCLAs 4+1 program to complete a masters degree in biochemistry before applying to graduate programs in chemistry.

Unleashing novel proteins and inner nerds

When Saebi was admitted to MIT, she was determined to take advantage of the opportunity. Growing up in Iran, I never imagined I would have the opportunity to go to a world-renowned university such as MIT, she says. During the chemistry departments visit weekend, where admitted students are invited to come to campus, she realized that students here actually looked like me in terms of the science they loved and the activities they were involved with.

Since beginning her PhD, Saebis aim has been to transition from organic chemistry to chemical biology. Even though I enjoyed doing organic chemistry, I really wanted to pursue something with direct applications, she notes. With this in mind, she decided to affiliate jointly with the labs of professor of chemistry Bradley Pentelute, and with Stephen Buchwald, the Camille Dreyfus Professor of Chemistry. The Buchwald lab focuses more on the organic chemistry methods, while the Pentelute lab focuses on peptides and emphasizes biological applications. I really enjoyed making molecules, but I also knew that that alone would not keep me satisfied during the five years of my PhD, Saebi explains. I needed to make sure that I made something that I could apply to the biotechnology industry or to human health.

The overall theme of Saebis work is developing novel chemical tools to modify biomolecules, specifically proteins. Her research has evolved in three distinct stages. First, she investigated a novel bioconjugation strategy, a chemical technique used to couple two proteins together. Then she worked on a method of synthesizing proteins via chemical ligation of amino acids, relying on chemical techniques to join the amino acids together instead of biological protein synthesis machinery. Most recently, Saebi has been combining these two tools, bioconjugation and chemical protein synthesis, to make antimicrobial compounds that specifically target and destroy Pseudomonas, a bacteria that can lead to serious infections in hospital patients.

Outside of lab, Saebi has served as a teaching assistant for course 5.07 (Introduction to Biological Chemistry). It turned into a fun experience of helping [undergraduate] students unleash their inner nerd, Saebi notes. Given that I had really enjoyed my biochemistry classes back at UCLA, I really wanted to make sure that my students had the same experience. She had to overcome her fear that, since English is her second language, students wouldnt understand her explanations. Despite her initial hesitations, Saebi won the Department of Chemistry Outstanding Teaching Award in 2018. For her, that was the cherry on top of a rewarding teaching experience.

Sparking change for graduate students

In the past two years, Saebi has become an advocate for diversity, inclusion, and speaking up about challenges within MIT, serving as a member of the chemistry departments Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee (DEIC) and co-president of Women+ in Chemistry (WIC+). Over time, Saebi has realized that one of her personal strengths is communicating student needs, a skill she has leveraged in these leadership roles.

Graduate school is hard, and nothing is going to make it an easy-breezy experience because science is inherently hard. But, there are things that can make graduate school a bit easier and a more enjoyable experience. Often we have the attitude that we will just suffer through it just because others before us have suffered through it, and thats a problem she says. Saebi is not content to just suffer through it; instead, she is determined to be the spark for change.

She is most proud of the holistic review of graduate admissions practices drafted by DEIC and implemented in chemistry admissions this year. The new practices evaluate candidates based on opportunities available to them, and their potential for growth, as well as their accomplishments.

She also serves with Resources for Easing Friction and Stress in the Chemistry Department (ChemREFS), which offers students an avenue to speak confidentially about their problems and to receive support. Learning about her peers struggles has informed her role in the DEIC, she says. ChemREFS is helpful to me to ensure that I am actually representing the student body and the diversity of voices and perspectives.

As she nears graduation, Saebi has been considering her next steps. She wants to continue solving problems in human health, and she understands that it can be a challenging and lengthy process translating academic research to new treatments for patients. I want to be somewhere that I can see the impact of my work on patients lives and health care more immediately, and Im grateful that my PhD at MIT has opened so many doors for me to explore science beyond academia, she says.

What is biochemistry? Biochemical Society

Posted on by

Biochemistry is the branch of science that explores the chemical processes within and related to living organisms. It is a laboratory based science that brings together biology and chemistry. By using chemical knowledge and techniques, biochemists can understand and solve biological problems.

Biochemistry focuses on processes happening at a molecular level. It focuses on whats happening inside our cells, studying components like proteins, lipids and organelles. It also looks at how cells communicate with each other, for example during growth or fighting illness. Biochemists need to understand how the structure of a molecule relates to its function, allowing them to predict how molecules will interact.

Biochemistry covers a range of scientific disciplines, including genetics, microbiology, forensics, plant science and medicine. Because of its breadth, biochemistry is very important and advances in this field of science over the past 100 years have been staggering. Its a very exciting time to be part of this fascinating area of study.

Too much Anatomy and Biochemistry, Instagram better than textbooks on sexual and gender minorities Jamia Hamdards Dr Aqsa Shaikh wants to change…

Posted on by

On April 15, Dr Aqsa Shaikh, a self-proclaimed queer activist, teacher of community medicine at Jamia Hamdard and nodal officer of a COVID vaccination centre, sparked a controversy by saying that the medical curriculum in India teaches too much Anatomy and Biochemistry. Dr Aqsa also claimed heterosexual doctors should not teach about queer lives. Furthermore, she said, Instagram teaches more about sexual and gender Minorities than textbooks. Her statement attracted strong criticism on social media.

In a series of tweets, Dr Aqsa mentioned the points she had raised during a panel discussion on making Medical Curriculum queer affirmative at AIIMS. She said the fraternity should stop medicalising queer identities. Furthermore, she claimed that the Indian medicine curriculum is teaching too much of Anatomy and Biochemistry. According to her, 5.5 years were not enough to learn about health.

Dr Aqsa demanded that Medical Science should be turned into a Bachelor of Health and the students should be taught subjects of humanities with medicines. She said it is time to reverse Millers Pyramid, Empathy should be the base, not Cognitive domain. She claimed the CBME (Competency Based Medical Education) curriculum is flawed and suggested that doctors should be political.

Interestingly, she added that Heterosexual people should not teach about queer lives and demanded more marginalised communities should be brought in as teaching staff. According to Dr Aqsa, the current Transgender Act has many anti-queer laws, and it needs amendments. The education about queer should begin at the primary level and not at medical school. One of the most controversial statements she made in her tweets was that Instagram taught more about sexual and gender minorities compared to the textbooks.

Her statement has attracted sharp criticism, especially from the Medical community on Twitter. Dr Lira questioned why such discussions were even allowed by AIIMS. She said, From where is this irrational thinking seeping into #medical system? Why is AIIMS even allowing this? Medicine is pure Science unadulterated by Identity politics, religion and superstitions. One can practice medicine with basic human decency without needless affirmation.

Dr Pranay said, First, it made me laugh. Then I realised she was serious. Not just a tweet, but this was rather a panel discussion at AIIMS. Im worried now. Ridiculous is too small a term for this.

Dr Apporva Verma said, Too much anatomy? Seriously? While I get 1st point, Id like to know this persons qualification to have uttered such statement as the 2nd point.

Speaking to OpIndia, Dr Haryax Pathak said, While the issue in the hand of LGBTQ rights and awareness is a genuine one, there has to be a systematic approach towards it. It starts by educating people. The biology behind it. The history behind it. That means more Anatomy, more Biochemistry not less. Training empathy is required, but it is a slow process. Im against the claim that doctors must be political. I can have political preferences as an individual but they dont reflect in my professional life. Doctors dont differentiate or discriminate on a political basis.

He further added, Claims that Instagram teaches more than medical school are way harmful. There has to be a professional approach to medical education. Ironical that slurs of WhatsApp University are passed around while promoting Instagram education. He agreed there was a need for some legal amendments as transgenders are humans too, and they have rights equal to everybody else.

Dysregulation of a lipid transfer protein linked to brain disorders – ASBMB Today

Posted on by

Advanced studies of human genetics are a big wave in the medical sciences. Collaborative teams of clinical geneticists and bioinformaticians are surfing this wave, rapidly discovering genomic variations associated with specific human disorders. This trend is providing scientific bases for personalized medicines but also new, important questions linked to the basic biochemistry field.

Ceramidetransport protein, or CERT, moves the waxy lipids known as ceramides in cells for the synthesis of sphingomyelin, a membrane lipid that is ubiquitous in mammalian cells. In 2007, researchers found that CERT is functionally repressed by multiple phosphorylations of a serine-repeat motif, or SRM, in CERT. At the time, scientists regarded this finding as pure biochemistry of a protein.

However, a decade later, large-scale human genetic studies on intellectual disabilities and mental development disorders, or ID/MD, showed that missense mutations in or near the CERT SRM-encoding regions are associated with a type of autosomal dominant hereditary ID/MD. The dominant inheritance was in line with a prediction from the previous biochemical study that loss of hyperphosphorylation of the SRM renders CERT abnormally active.

Our recent collaborative study confirmed this prediction by demonstrating that substitution of a serine residue in the SRM with other residues similar to variants found in ID/MD patients results in dysregulation of CERT in cultured cells. Nonetheless, several ID/MD-associated missense mutations that occurred in the CERT gene CERT1 also are mapped outside the SRM. This riddle was answered by another recent study showing that a non-SRM variant also compromises the SRM hyperphosphorylation, thereby abnormally activating CERT.

Moreover, cell biological analysis showed that abnormally activated CERT mutants exhibit an aberrant punctate distribution in cells, suggesting that the subcellular distribution pattern is applicable as a diagnostic tool to assess whether a CERT1 variant is an abnormally activated type that may cause ID/MD, although the precise identity of the puncta structure remains undetermined.

Kentaro Hanada

Advanced human genetics studies have shown that missense mutations in the CERT1 gene encoding the ceramide transport protein CERT are associated with certain intellectual disabilities and mental development disorders. Recent studies in the Hanada lab showed that ID/MD-associated CERT variants are defective in the serine-repeat motif phosphorylation-dependent repression. In this diagram, for simplicity, CERT is illustrated as a monomer, although it forms oligomers in cells.

What is Biochemistry? – Definition, History, Examples, Importance …

Posted on by

Have you ever observed how the chemical reactions or the processes occur within the human body? How do metabolic activities take place? Yes, you will get to know all these life processes through Biochemistry.

The branch of science dealing with the study of all the life processes such as control and coordination within a living organism is called Biochemistry.

This term was introduced to us by Carl Neuberg, the father of biochemistry in the year 1930. This field combines biology as well as chemistry to study the chemical structure of a living organism. The biochemists get into the investigation of the chemical reactions and combinations which are involved in various processes like reproduction, heredity, metabolism, and growth, thus performing research in different kind of laboratories.

Introduction to Biochemistry includes wide areas of molecular biology as well as cell biology. It is relevant to molecules that make up the structure of organs and cells which is the molecular anatomy. It describes carbon compound and the reactions they undergo in living organisms. It also describes molecular physiology, which is the functions of molecules in carrying out the requirements of the cells and organs.

It mainly deals with the study of the structure and functions of the biomolecules such as the carbohydrates, proteins, acids, lipids. Hence, it is also called to as Molecular biology.

The primary branches of biochemistry are listed in this subsection.

It is also referred to as the roots of Biochemistry. It deals with the study of functions of the living systems. This field of biology explains about all the interactions between the DNA, proteins, RNA and their synthesis.

Cell biology

Cell Biology deals with the structure and functions of cells in living organisms. It is also called as Cytology. Cell biology primarily focuses on the study of cells of the eukaryotic organisms, and their signalling pathways, rather focussing on to prokaryotes- the topics that will be covered under microbiology.

Metabolism

Metabolism is one of the most important processes taking place in all the living things. It is nothing but the transformations or the series of activities that happens that when food is converted into energy in a human body. One of the examples of metabolism is the process of digestion.

Genetics

Genetics is a branch of biochemistry that deals with the study of genes, their variations and the heredity characteristics in living organisms.

The other branches include Animal and Plant Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Molecular Chemistry, Genetic engineering, Endocrinology, Pharmaceuticals, Neurochemistry, Nutrition, Environmental, Photosynthesis, Toxicology, etc.

Biochemistry is essential to understand the following concepts.
