mucuna/necrosis

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease induced by abnormal insulin secretions from β-cells in pancreas. The present study aimed to investigate the immunosuppressive effects from protein derivatives of Mucuna pruriens on a murine model of Type 1 diabetes. Hydrolyzate and five peptide fractions with

Mucuna is the source of L-Dopa (L 3,4 dihydroxyphenylalanine), a precursor of a dopamine used to treat Parkinson's disease. Leaf blight symptoms were observed on Mucuna pruriens plants in October to November 2010 in a field at the Indian Council of Agricultural Research Complex for the Northeastern

For a better understanding of virus x host interactions, transmission electron microscopy was used to characterize the intrahaemocoelic infection of Anticarsia gemmatalis larval haemocytes by A. gemmatalis M nucleopolyhedrovirus (AgMNPV). At 12 h post-infection (h p.i.), we observed nuclear

Immune control is associated with nigrostriatal neuroprotection for Parkinson's disease (PD); though its direct cause and effect relationships have not yet been realized and modulating the immune system for therapeutic gain has been openly discussed. While the pathobiology of PD remains in study,

Till date, drugs that have been used to manage Parkinson's disease (PD) have only shown symptomatic relief with several adverse effects besides their inability to prevent neurodegeneration. Neuroinflammation plays an important role in the advancement of PD and can be targeted for its effective
