Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractKRLSMDA: Identifying Human miRNA–Disease Association Based on Similarity and Kronecker Regularized Least Squares MethodLingzhi Zhu, Weimin Gao, Guixiang Li et al.A growing number of studies have suggested that miRNAs (microRNAs) have associations with human diseases, the design and discovery of drug. But so far, we do not yet fully understand the molecular mechanism of miRNAs in the development of human diseases. Predicting miRNA-disease associations is helpful for understanding the molecular mechanism of miRNAs in the development of human diseases. However, … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2021 · 6,408 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEssential Proteins Discovery Methods based on the Protein-Protein Interaction NetworksLingZhi Zhu, Junling Zhang, Lingya He et al.Essential proteins are closely related to biological survival or reproduction and have important application value in respect of the location of disease genes, disease diagnosis and treatment, drug design. In order to discovery essential proteins, the researchers have proposed experimental approaches, but these methods require laborious and time consuming. With the development of high-throughput sequencing techniques, plenty of computational methods … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 1 Jan 2018 · 8,893 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractFocalize the Structure of Myd88 in TLR Signaling Pathway to Modulate Innate Immune Response: New Target for Old DiseasesShuai Xing, Ping ZhouAll diseases have their Achilles’ Heel to target and this is especially true for immunorelated diseases which must be treated by targeting the immune system somewhere and somehow correctly. In the most recent decade, immunologists recognized that the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) signaling pathway in innate immune system plays a double-edged role in the pathogenesis of many notorious diseases. Although the … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,865 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractCommentary-How do we Improve Training for Receptor Research?Marilee Ann BenoreThis issue of the American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology features articles about receptor-ligand interactions that are critical to the wellbeing of all living organisms. The importance of the field of receptor research is supported by the large number of articles published in journals, the numerous specialty journals, the international conferences and the percentage of legal drugs on the market … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 8 Dec 2015 · 8,058 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTen Bioinformatics Tools for Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms DetectionMahin Ghorbani, Hamed KarimiSingle Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) as unique genetic variations are widely used as biomarkers for drug designing and development for individualized therapy. SNP genotyping techniques such as SBE with MS detection, SBE with fluorescence intensity detection, The FP-TDI, Pyrosequencing and The TaqMan 5’ nuclease assay are low-speed, time consuming and very expensive. To overcome such disadvantages, bioinformatics tools are emerged as … …Current Research in Bioinformatics, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 10 Apr 2015 · 17,735 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLeukemia and TherapyN. B. Alitheen, S. K. Yeap, N. H. Faujan et al.Problem statement: Leukemia is a cancer which linked intimately with the immune system. It is a group of heterogenous neoplastic disorder of white blood cells characterized by the uncontrolled proliferation and block in differentiation of hematopoeitic cells. Generally, leukemia can be classified into myeloid or lymphoid referring to the type of abnormal cell found most in the blood. Approach: Many … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 27 Feb 2012 · 8,128 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIdentification of Novel Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 Integrase Inhibitors by Shape-Based Virtual ScreeningT.K. Omprakash, A. Thamarai Selvan, A. Shahul Hameed, S.P. GeethaProblem statement: Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV-1) is causative agent of the immune system disease, Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Majority of anti-HIV drugs target reverse transcriptase and protease enzymes. Toxicity and development of multidrug resistant HIV-1 virus strains are the reasons for studying new targets in HIV-1 replication process for identifying novel inhibitor with low toxicity and high activity. Approach: … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Dec 2010 · 7,193 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparative Docking Analysis on Natural Compounds Versus a Synthetic Drug as a Therapeutic for Acquired Immuno Deficiency SyndromeSandhya R. Nair, R. Subhashini, B. ThiagarajanProblem statement: Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is one of the worst pandemics affecting and spreading quickly all over the world with a high mortality rate. AIDS has been able to kill so many people due to the unique property of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) virus. It attacks the immune system of the victim there by not allowing the immune … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 31 Oct 2010 · 7,325 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIn vitro Anti Plasmodial Activity of Enicostemma littoraleSanket Soni, Sarita GuptaProblem statement: Malaria is a prevalent disease in India. The problem of drug resistance is worsening. Hence, new effective and affordable antimalarial drugs are very much needed.
