Studies • Antioxidant / Hepatoprotective: (1) Study of leaf extracts of TC and an isolated antioxidant‚ corilagin‚ was found to provide hepatoprotection in experimentally induced liver injury through suppression of oxidative stress and apoptosis. (2) TC leaf extract showed hepatoprotective effect against D-Galactosamine (D-GalN)-induced liver injury. There was dose-dependent inhibition of mitrochondrial swelling with dose-dependent superoxide radicals scavenging activity. • Anti-Inflammatory:

irregular changes by mutant or dysfunctional BCPs would cause neurodevelopmental disorders. Brain Development of Patients Brain development is an elaborate process‚ including neuron proliferation‚ differentiation‚ migration‚ communication‚ and apoptosis. Hereditary deficits and negative environmental exposures can lead to irregular neurological development. The characteristics of neurodevelopmental disorders firmly coincide with the qualities of dysfunctional epigenetic adjustment at the chromatin

Throughout the years‚ geneticists have made ground breaking discoveries‚ in regards to thousands of inherited diseases. They have identified numerous mutations within the human genome that have given rise to treatments and cures for multiple genetic diseases‚ one of which is Familial Adenomatous Polyposis‚ also known as FAP. According to Half‚ Brocovich‚ and Rozen (2009)1‚ Familial Adenomatous Polyposis is characterized by the development of many tens of thousands adenomas in the rectum and colon

Children with a suspected or diagnosed Wilms tumor should be immediately referred to a pediatric cancer specialist for evaluation and treatment. Children have an overall five-year survival rate of 90%. As similarly mentioned in the diagnostic protocol for Wilms tumor‚ the COG and SIOP each have their own treatment protocols. Both protocols have statistically similar clinical outcomes‚ however‚ the focus for this section will follow the COG protocol. The COG protocol is advantageous in promoting
