Therapeutic enzymes and their extensive applications in the healthcare sector
Therapeutic enzymes are enzymes that are used to treat diseases or conditions. Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions in the body, and they play a crucial role in many biological processes. Therapeutic enzymes are frequently employed to treat diseases brought on by a lack or failure of a particular enzyme. Therapeutic enzymes can be utilized to replace the deficient enzyme and improve the disorder's symptoms. Depending on the particular enzyme and the ailment being treated, they can be obtained from a range of sources, including plants, animals, and microbes, and can be delivered orally, intravenously, or topically. Some applications of the therapeutic enzymes include: 1- Degradation of necrotic tissue: Debridement is the removal of necrotic tissues from a lesion, which allows the site to heal properly and minimises the risk of bacterial infection. Proteolytic enzymes, such as trypsin, chymotrypsin, and bromelain, are responsible f...
Public opinion on aspects and ethical issues of xenotransplantation
By: Naveen Khan Introduction; The transplanting of living cells, tissues, or organs from one species to another is known as xenotransplantation (from the Greek word xenos, which means "foreign" or "strange"[1][2]). [3] Xenografts or xenotransplants are the terms used to describe such cells, tissues, or organs. When compared to autotransplantation (from one area of the body to another in the same person), syngeneic transplantation (grafts between two genetically identical individuals of the same species), and allotransplantation (from another individual of the same species), Midway through December 1996, at Sonapur, Assam, India, a non-genetically altered [12][13] pig's heart, lungs, and kidneys were transplanted into a human. The procedure was announced in January 1997. [12] Purno Saikia, a 32-year-old terminally ill man, was the receiver; shortly after the procedure, he passed away from various illnesses.
