| Autism spectrum disorders are a group of neurodevelopmental disorders with a complex and heterogeneous etiology. Studies have shown that genetic factors play an important role in the aetiology of these diseases. Recently, de novo mutations, frameshifts and deletions have been described in the SHANK3 gene, also known as ProSAP2 gene, which encodes a synaptic scaffolding protein. All the participants of this study had normal karyotypes and underwent screening for Fragile-X syndrome. Subsequently, they were analyzed by direct sequencing of different points of exons 8 and 22 of the SHANK3 gene. None of the study participants presented with changes in these regions. These findings may be due to the fact that mutations, deletions and duplications of the SHANK3... |

| A steady series of advances in physics, mathematics, computers and clinical imaging science have progressively transformed diagnosis and treatment of neurological and neurosurgical disorders in the 115 years between the discovery of the X-ray and the advent of high resolution diffusion based functional MRI. The story of the progress in human terms, with its battles for priorities, forgotten advances, competing claims, public battles for Nobel Prizes, and patent priority litigations bring alive the human drama of this remarkable collective achievement in computed medical imaging. |

| Objective – Methods were invented that made it possible to image peripheral nerves in the body and to image neural tracts in the brain. Over a 15 year period, these techniques – MR Neurography and Diffusion Tensor Imaging – were then deployed in the clinical and research community and applied to about 50,000 patients. Within this group, about 5,000 patients having MR Neurography were carefully tracked on a prospective basis.

Method – In the study group a uniform imaging methodology was applied and all images were reviewed and registered by referral source, clinical indication, efficacy of imaging and quality. Various classes of image findings were identified and subjected to a... |

| An understanding of agriculture's energy, material, and labor requirements is essential for achieving economic and ecological sustainability, and for assessing the effectiveness of relevant policy decisions (biofuel subsidies, regulations, labeling, etc.). Previous studies of energy, materials, and labor use in farming have been based on either unverified voluntary reporting or test plots, rather than on the high-resolution measurements of mass and energy flows. Here we present a recursive analysis of 1.25 million data points describing in unprecedented detail the resource transactions on a 60 ha farm functioning for over 6 years. This analysis highlights the importance of accounting for all types of materials, as well as capital equipment,... |

| In a fascinating tussle of perspectives in Volume 6 and issue no 3 of april 2008 Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, Martin A Nuñez and Gregory M Crustinger enlist ways to brace up with the recent literature. They advocate that PhD students should choose a well studied system to have better chances of success. On the other side of this fascinating tussle Daniel Simberloff and Nathan J Sanders agree with there enthusiastic case and approaches for bracing up with the recent literature. However, they disagree with the play safe strategy of start-ups in ecology and evolution.

For me this tussle of perspectives is really fascinating. It underlines the story of our times. In the times of information explosion, should... |

| Transgenerational spermatogenic inheritance of adult male acquired CNS gene expression characteristics has recently been discovered using a Drosophila systems model. In this novel mode of inheritance, transcriptomic alteration induced by the neuroactive drug pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) has been found to leak to future generations. Here, the available microarray gene expression data pertaining to CNS and/or testis of exposed F0 and the resulting F1 and F2 generations has been pooled and analyzed in an unbiased manner at four levels, namely, biological processes and pathways, protein interactome networks, miRNA-targets, and microarray expression profile similarities. Enrichment for processes related to translation, energy metabolism, cell proliferation, cell... |

| Pentylenetetrazole (PTZ) has recently been found to ameliorate cognitive impairment in rodent models of Down syndrome (DS). The mechanism underlying PTZ’s therapeutic effect is however not clear. Microarray profiling has previously reported differential expression of genes in DS. No mammalian transcriptomic data on PTZ treatment however exists. Nevertheless, a _Drosophila_ model inspired by rodent models of PTZ induced kindling plasticity has recently been described. Microarray profiling has shown PTZ’s downregulatory effect on gene expression in fly heads. In a comparative transcriptomics approach, I have analyzed the available microarray data in order to identify potential mechanism of PTZ action in DS. I find that transcriptomic... |

| A male Drosophila model of locomotor deficit induced by chronic pentylenetetrazole (PTZ), a proconvulsant used to model epileptogenesis in rodents, has recently been described. Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) ameliorate development of this behavioral abnormality. Time-series of microarray profiling of heads of male flies treated with PTZ has shown epileptogenesis-like transcriptomic perturbation in the fly model. Gender differences are known to exist in neurological and psychiatric conditions including epileptogenesis. We describe here the effects of chronic PTZ in Drosophila females, and compare the results with the male model. As in males, chronic PTZ was found found to cause a decreased climbing speed in females. In males, overrepresentation of Wnt, MAPK,... |

| The treatment of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) is a challenging medical problem. TIBO is a nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor, which binds non-competitively to the hydrophobic pocket on the p66 subunit of RT enzyme. We used a dataset consisting of physicochemical properties and reverse transcriptase inhibitor activities of 88 set of 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-y-imidazo-[4,5,1-jk][1,4]-x-benzodiazepin-2-(1h)one derivatives that are variously substituted by halogens, alkyl groups. The dataset was taken from the BIOBYTE database at (www.davidhoekman.com). The concentration of the compound leading to 50% effect has been measured and expressed as IC50. The logarithm of the inverse of this parameter has been used as biological end points (log 1/C)... |

| Amphibians like toads have been known to secrete antimicrobial secretions outside their body into their environments, through skin pores and parotid glands. Toad skin-secretions contain four types of compounds namely, biogenic amines, bufadienolides, alkaloids & steroids and peptides & proteins. Bulk of research relating to amphibian antimicrobial secretions has been done on frogs. In toads, such research has only been done in South America, Europe and China. Antimicrobial secretions vary considerably from specie-to-specie and drastically across various biomes. This prompted us to examine and confirm presence of antimicrobial activity (if any) in Indian Common Toad (Bufo melanostictus Schneider 1799) skin secretions since; no such... |

| Computational and statistical analysis has formed a large component of the biophysical efforts put forth to understand protein structure and function, due to the diversity and complexity of their structure. Outer membrane proteins form a diverse and complex set of proteins. Of these, porins which allow passage of molecules across the membrane interface have been analyzed here from a biophysical and structural perspective. The objective of this study is to analyze the structural organization of porins using atomic temperature factor as a parameter. Generally atomic temperature factors of molecules from crystal structures indicate the degree of mobility or disorder seen in the crystal structure. As good crystal structures have fewer possibilities of errors... |

| The superfamily of serine proteinase inhibitors (serpins) is involved in an array of fundamental biological processes such as blood coagulation, cell differentiation, cell migration, complement activation, embryo implantation, fibrinolysis, angiogenesis, and inflammation, and tumor suppression. Vertebrate serpins can be conveniently classified into six sub-groups, based on three independent biological features - genomic organization, diagnostic amino acid sites and rare indels. The present vertebrate serpins are derived from an original serpin most probably by intron insertion and we are trying to reconstruct the phylogeny of vertebrate serpin and looking for the reconstruction of original vertebrate gene(s). We started with fish genomes and characterized... |
