Despite the tremendous improvement in our understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of AD, only aducanumab was approved by FDA for the treatment of AD in 18 years i.e., since 2003. Hence, it is concluded that novel therapeutic strategies are required to discover and develop therapeutic agents to fight against the century old AD.TP53 functions primarily as a tumor suppressor, controlling a myriad of signalling pathways that prevent a cell from undergoing malignant transformation. This tumor suppressive function requires an activation and stabilization of TP53 in response to cell stressors. However, besides its cancer-preventive functions, TP53 is also known to be involved in diverse cellular processes including metabolism, reproduction, stem cell renewal and development. Indeed, several lines of evidence strongly suggest that TP53 plays crucial role in diabetes. A number of studies have evaluated the association of genetic alterations (single nucleotide variations) in TP53 gene with the development of diabetes. However, the results have not been consistent. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the C/G polymorphism at codon 72 (Pro72/Arg72), located in exon 4 of TP53, is associated with type 2 diabetes in South Indian population. A total of 74 type 2 diabetic patients and 54 non-diabetic subjects were screened. None of the three genotypes, namely C/C (Pro/Pro), C/G (Pro/Arg), and G/G (Arg/Arg) was found to be significantly associated with type 2 diabetes in our study group. The findings of this study indicate that TP53 codon 72 polymorphism is not associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes in South Indian population. Further studies with a large cohort size would be necessary to corroborate the observations of this study. Nevertheless, this study represents the first genetic analysis of TP53 variants in South Indian type 2 diabetic patients.Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 has been declared a pandemic by WHO. The clinical manifestation and disease progression in COVID-19 patients varies from minimal symptoms to severe respiratory issues with multiple organ failure. Understanding the mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 interaction with host cells will provide key insights into the effective molecular targets for the development of novel therapeutics. Recent studies have identified virus-mediated phosphorylation or activation of some major signaling pathways, such as ERK1/2, JNK, p38, PI3K/AKT and NF-κB signaling, that potentially elicit the cytokine storm that serves as a major cause of tissue injuries. Several studies highlight the aggressive inflammatory response particularly 'cytokine storm' in SARS-CoV-2 patients. A depiction of host molecular dynamics triggered by SARS-CoV-2 in the form of a network of signaling molecules will be helpful for COVID-19 research. Therefore, we developed the signaling pathway map of SARS-CoV-2 infection using data mined from the recently published literature. This integrated signaling pathway map of SARS-CoV-2 consists of 326 proteins and 73 reactions. These include information pertaining to 1,629 molecular association events, 30 enzyme catalysis events, 43 activation/inhibition events, and 8,531 gene regulation events.

To learn from the crisis caused by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and be prepared for future pandemics, it is important to investigate the impact of this period on the wellbeing of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). To describe the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and disease control of IBD patients during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in The Netherlands. Between March 17 and July 1, 2020, patients aged 18years and older with IBD from the Erasmus MC (Rotterdam, The Netherl
