Abstract: The 21 st century witnessed an accelerating convergence of three paradigm shifting technologies: stem cell biology, genomic engineering and artificial intelligence. Although both disciplines are strong individually, the combination of the two disciplines is providing new possibilities in the medical field to an unfathomable degree. This paper will comment on this synergy by looking at how artificial intelligence (AI) is making CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing of stem cells more accurate and more effective. This is the highly potent duo that is transforming science fiction therapies into something that is tangible in their existence.

Abstract: The study investigated the biochemical and hematological effects of the ethanol leaf extract of Cnidoscolus aconitifolius in testosterone propionate-induced benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) rats. Thirty male albino rats were divided into six groups of 5 rats each. Group 1 received subcutaneous administration of 1 ml/kg body weight of olive oil and 1 ml/kg of distilled water orally. Groups 2 to 6 were induced with BPH through daily subcutaneous injection of 3 mg/kg testosterone propionate followed by oral administration of the extract. Group 2 received 1 ml/kg distilled water; Group 3 received.......

Abstract: In order to find novel inhibitors that target the Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 R132Q mutant (IDH1-R132Q), a major oncogenic driver in secondary glioblastoma (GBM), this paper describes a Structure-Based Drug Design (SBDD) approach. We described the allosteric regulatory site using the high-resolution X-ray crystal structure (PDB: 8VHB), which was confirmed by strict quality metrics (ERRAT: 97.9%; PROCHECK: 91.4% preferred). The best binding.......

Abstract: Coffee Husks Powder (CHP) was evaluated for potential application in adsorptive removal of recalcitrant Basic Blue 3 (BB3) dye from aqueous solution. Basic Blue 3 dye is among extensively used colorant in textile industries to impart color while posing serious ecological challenges and health related risks. Batch adsorption experiments were designed ascertain the influence of pH, dye concentration, adsorbent dose, and contact time in dye removal by CHP. Dye.......
