Regulation of Inflammation by Natural Product extracts: Role in osteoclastogenesis
Inflammation is the body’s endeavor at self-defense, the intent being to eradicate harmful stimuli, including damaged cells, irritants, or pathogens and begin the healing process. It is one of the major steps in normal wound healing process with overlapping events such as formation of granulation tissue, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling. However, chronic inflammation can also lead to a host of diseases. Thus the inflammatory response plays a key role in both health protection and disease generation. Osteoclasts are the multinuclear cells specialized for bone resorption, playing a crucial role in bone remodeling. Osteoclasts have been known to differentiate from hematopoietic precursors of the monocyte/macrophage lineage in the presence of macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF or CSF-1) and receptor activator of ΝF-κΒ ligand (RANKL). Inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1 (IL-1) or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), as well as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) have been reported to induce osteoclast formation indirectly by stimulating osteoblasts. Chronic inflammation can lead to an abnormal increase in osteoclastic bone resorption and excessive bone destruction as observed in osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and periodontal disease (PD) etc. The use of herbal or natural medicines for the management of diverse disorders has an extensive and widespread history. The present study is…
Development of a Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC) for detection of Glucose, Cholesterol and Kidney Function
The proposed work envisages the fabrication of microfluidic lab-on-a-chip (LOC) module for non-enzymatic sensing of glucose, cholesterol and creatinine using a single device. This consists of a disposable LOC and a non-disposable electronics module. The use of non-enzymatic sensing module helps to achieve longer shelf life, eliminating the need for stringent storage conditions. This reduces the cost and time of analysis considerably. The point of care diagnostic device provides an effective alternative for the existing expensive and time consuming clinical analysis performed by a trained clinical lab technician. This would thereby enable access to low-cost medical diagnostics even to underprivileged sections of the society.
Quorum Sensing and Biofilm Formation in Microbial Pathogenesis
When encountering a new host, every potential microbial pathogen can stay, acquire nutrients, colonize and then seek another host. Alternatively the pathogen could express its full battery of virulence factors, and invade the host. The successful attack of a host is now understood to be a communal process called Quorum Sensing (QS). Utilizing QS, pathogens employ a series of chemical signals and sensing systems that jointly engage bacteria to switch from acting as individual cells to operating in a concerted multicellular fashion. QS is the capacity to detect extracellular, small-molecule signals and to subsequently alter gene expression in response to bacterial population densities. The QS systems of bacteria are now known to serve a wide variety of functions beyond a simple estimate of cell density. Some of the processes controlled by QS include bioluminescence and expression of virulence factor(s). Furthermore, QS also plays a pivotal role in the production of healthy and fully developed biofilms which are complex and stable multi-layered structures with defined architecture, in which bacterial communities exist in a sessile form.Many gram positive and gram negative pathogenic bacteria uses QS to control virulence and biofilm formation. A major challenge presented by biofilms is that bacteria living within them enjoy…

Regulation of Inflammation by Natural Product extracts: Role in osteoclastogenesis
Inflammation is the body’s endeavor at self-defense, the intent being to eradicate harmful stimuli, including damaged cells, irritants, or pathogens and begin the healing process. It is one of the major steps in normal wound healing process with overlapping events such as formation of granulation tissue, angiogenesis, and tissue remodeling. However, chronic inflammation can also lead to a host of diseases. Thus the inflammatory response plays a key role in both health protection and disease generation. Osteoclasts are the multinuclear cells specialized for bone resorption, playing a crucial role in bone remodeling. Osteoclasts have been known to differentiate from hematopoietic precursors of the monocyte/macrophage lineage in the presence of macrophage-colony stimulating factor (M-CSF or CSF-1) and receptor activator of ΝF-κΒ ligand (RANKL). Inflammatory cytokines, such as interleukin-1 (IL-1) or tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), as well as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) have been reported to induce osteoclast formation indirectly by stimulating osteoblasts. Chronic inflammation can lead to an abnormal increase in osteoclastic bone resorption and excessive bone destruction as observed in osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and periodontal disease (PD) etc. The use of herbal or natural medicines for the management of diverse disorders has an extensive and widespread history. The present study is…
Development of a Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC) for detection of Glucose, Cholesterol and Kidney Function
The proposed work envisages the fabrication of microfluidic lab-on-a-chip (LOC) module for non-enzymatic sensing of glucose, cholesterol and creatinine using a single device. This consists of a disposable LOC and a non-disposable electronics module. The use of non-enzymatic sensing module helps to achieve longer shelf life, eliminating the need for stringent storage conditions. This reduces the cost and time of analysis considerably. The point of care diagnostic device provides an effective alternative for the existing expensive and time consuming clinical analysis performed by a trained clinical lab technician. This would thereby enable access to low-cost medical diagnostics even to underprivileged sections of the society.
Quorum Sensing and Biofilm Formation in Microbial Pathogenesis
When encountering a new host, every potential microbial pathogen can stay, acquire nutrients, colonize and then seek another host. Alternatively the pathogen could express its full battery of virulence factors, and invade the host. The successful attack of a host is now understood to be a communal process called Quorum Sensing (QS). Utilizing QS, pathogens employ a series of chemical signals and sensing systems that jointly engage bacteria to switch from acting as individual cells to operating in a concerted multicellular fashion. QS is the capacity to detect extracellular, small-molecule signals and to subsequently alter gene expression in response to bacterial population densities. The QS systems of bacteria are now known to serve a wide variety of functions beyond a simple estimate of cell density. Some of the processes controlled by QS include bioluminescence and expression of virulence factor(s). Furthermore, QS also plays a pivotal role in the production of healthy and fully developed biofilms which are complex and stable multi-layered structures with defined architecture, in which bacterial communities exist in a sessile form.Many gram positive and gram negative pathogenic bacteria uses QS to control virulence and biofilm formation. A major challenge presented by biofilms is that bacteria living within them enjoy…
