Investigation of molecular interaction between β-amyloid and insulin receptor: An in-silico study

The growth of amyloid β peptides arises from inappropriate cleavage of amyloid precursor protein that induces the formation of amyloid plaques in the brain. An excessive accumulation of amyloid β plaques promotes the development of dementia, specifically Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Histopathological evidence suggested that insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes condition have a stronger correlation with Alzheimer’s disease development. An increasing concentration of amyloid β leads to impaired binding of insulin to its receptor. Previous studies suggested that the monomeric form of amyloid β was the potential molecule, which can compete with insulin for receptor binding. The objective of this work was to study the molecular interactions of insulin and amyloid β to insulin receptors using protein-protein docking and molecular dynamics Simulations. Analysis of docked complexes suggested that there are common insulin receptor residues for insulin and amyloid β binding. Further molecular dynamics Simulations study reveals that the monomeric form of amyloid β interacts with a similar set of receptor residues as observed in the insulin-insulin receptor complex.

Lipid based self-assembled nanostructures for therapeutic delivery applications

The evolution of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) has been remarkably interesting and in beneficent directions for food and health industries working towards human well being. Since the discovery of the first-generation lipid based self-assembled nanostructures, i.e., liposomes in the 1960s, it has witnessed significant advances in their development and distinctive potential in different application domains. Based on the composition and structure, these lipid based structures have varied from liposome to lipid nanoparticles such as nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) and solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) to overcome certain limitation pertaining to their use in different fields. The outstanding application of LNPs as therapeutic delivery systems has made them key players to treat different human disorders including the fatal cancers. Their life-saving global contribution has recently been witnessed in the form of mRNA vaccines against deadly COVID-19. They have also significantly served purpose in other domains such as biomedical imaging, cosmetics, nutrition, and agriculture. Their prominent role is in the area of anticancer therapy as delivery vectors for nucleic acids and drugs. Some issues with respect to the cellular delivery of drugs and genes, such as circulation time and stability have been somewhat resolved, but the unmet goal of site-specific substantial delivery remains the main focus in LNPs development research. Despite the promise shown by LNPs in animal studies and the fact that technological advances in LNPs research have made the approval possible of a few formulations, therapeutic outcomes in human are not satisfactory. The LNPs technology has managed to survive due to possible tailoring of their properties by virtue of the possibility of altering the composition and modifying the surface. Therefore, enormous scientific endeavours are on the rise to transform lipid structures, composition along with tinkering with surface of LNPs. The alternative methods to guide LNPs coupled with advances in small molecule nucleic acid therapeutics and drug development technology to make the entry possible to specific cells may be effective in cancer therapy. The development is very promising; however enduring efforts are required till the goal is reached.

Impact of Ayurvedic drug Tinospora cordifolia in hyperlipidemia induced dysbiosis

Gut microbiota broadly impacts human health, but urinary microbial metabolites remain largely undefined. The concentration of microbial metabolites can be directly correlated with microbial populations in the human gut to define disease states. Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Miers ex Hook. F. & Thoms is being used for ages in the Indian ayurvedic system of medicine and it has hypolipidemic and hypoglycaemic activity. Present study investigate the MS-based metabolomics variations of possible gut microbiota associated metabolites in hyperlipidemia (HPL) and HPL treated with Tinospora cordifolia extract (TCE) (TRT). Twenty-four HPL male patients and 10 age-matched controls (HLT) were enrolled. Early morning fasting blood and urine samples were collected on days 0 and 14^th of TCE treatment and subjected to lipid profiling and Q-TOF-MS analysis. Multivariate analysis showed urinary levels of urocanic acid, hydroxyphenylacetate, linolenic acid, phenylpropionate, hypoxanthine, and indole acetate produced by Peptostreptococcs asaccharolyticus, Clostridium difficile, Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, Bifidobacterium, Subdoligranulum, Lactobacillus, Clostridium sporogenes, E. coli were depleted in HPL patients as compared to healthy controls. In contrast, levels of serotonin, acetylleucine, hippuric acid, and arabinitol were found to be increased (>2.0 fold, p<0.005). However, TCE treatment reverted the levels of these metabolites and therefore, gut microflora. Also, Cloacibacterium haliotis, Lactobacillus, Clostridium, and Bifidobacterium population decreased in HPL patients. Increased secretion of yeast or Candida albicans associated metabolites was because of their increased population. Hence, TCE treatment enhanced the growth of useful gut microbiota in hyperlipidemia patients.

Gas sensing of partially oxidized Ti3C2Tx MXene in argon atmosphere

Multilayer accordion like Ti₃C₂T_x MXene is prepared by selective etching of Al layer from Ti₃AlC₂ MAX phase. For better gas sensing responses, a minimal amount of TiO₂ decoration is being carried out by annealing the Ti₃C₂T_x MXene in an argon atmosphere at 550 °C for 6 h. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows successful removal of Al layer and TiO₂ decoration on Ti₃C₂T_x MXene surface which is well supported by field emission scanning electron microscope images. Due to TiO₂ decoration, MXene shows semiconducting behaviour and corresponding bandgap is 3.2 eV. Resistance of TiO₂ decorated MXene sample increases in presence of H₂, CH₄ and NO₂ gases at room temperature. However, resistance of the sample decreases for H₂, and CH₄ gases and increases for NO₂ gas at 100 °C which shows n-type semiconducting behaviour. Also, at 100 °C, sensitivity increases by one order to that of room temperature gas response of TiO₂ decorated MXene sample.

This effort is aimed at providing various avenues to a researcher where research can be focused in order to develop a gas sensor.

Defect mediated optical detection of ammonia using SnO2 nanoparticle

SnO₂ with oxygen vacancies, an n-type gas sensing material used commercially as resistive sensors at high temperatures, suffers from the drift in voltage, contact resistances and poor selectivity. These prevailed defects in rutile SnO₂ offer excellent optical properties which remain to be explored for the gas sensor. Apart from advantage of contactless operation with no direct voltage application, an optical method with the varied light energies is highly beneficial for excitations of the deep electronic states at ease, with opportunity to improve the sensor response measurement quickly in selective manner. In this direction, we report the synthesis and characterization of SnO₂ nanostructures with emphasis on their Raman and photoluminescence properties. In subsequence, the crucial role of various defects in displaying the improved optical responses and selectivity for ammonia are highlighted.

A comprehensive review on functionalized Hydroxyapatite nanostructures based gas sensors for environmental pollutant monitoring

The utilization of advanced sensing techniques for detecting and monitoring toxic gases in industry and the environment is a predominant action. For such applications, the sensor material should possess higher sensitivity, faster detection, and real-time operation. Mostly, metal oxides (MOs) are preferred for gas sensing purposes owing to their excellent sensing property, wide band-gap, electrical conductivity, and high surface reactivity. But, the same MOs lag in many perspectives like low selectivity, higher operating temperature (> 400 °C), more power consumption, and reduced stability. Since more emphasis is given to materials that operate at room temperatures like nano-hydroxyapatite (nHAp), it’s a bio-ceramic material used for chemical gas sensing. The nHAp is a matrix of rich calcium (Ca²⁺) and phosphate (PO₄^3-) ions. In chemical gas sensors, the nHAp possess significant properties like large surface phosphate-hydroxide (P-OH) groups, ionic conductivity, porous nature, and ion exchange capability for effective gas molecule interaction. In this profound review, we discussed the nHAp structure with different fabrication techniques for gas sensing. Particularly, functionalized nHAp with MO and polymers were focused and their stability, sensitivity, selectivity, and adsorption rate are presented along with different mechanisms. Existing challenges and future perspectives of nHAp material are also highlighted.
