Lecture on Potentials of Microfluids in Life Sciences: A Lab on a Chip

-

Today marks the death anniversary of Mr. Werner Jacobi, the pioneering figure in microfluidics. While his initial focus was on microelectronics and semiconductor technology, he carved out a distinct path for microfluidics, diverging from his previous pursuits. His visionary approach continues to shape the trajectory of microfluidics research and its diverse applications in science and technology. This lecture is presented by our team member and volunteer, Bushra Umer, from Volunteer Batch-V, 2023. The lecture emphasizes the adoption of the "lab-on-a-chip" approach to ensure cost-effective and real-time experiments, underscoring the importance of developing such innovative techniques in today's modern arena.

Hydrogels

By: Batool Murtaza Abstract Hydrogels have been around for almost half a century, and one of the oldest recordings of crosslinked hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) hydrogels dates back to the 1950s. Hydrogels continue to intrigue material scientists and biological researchers today, and significant progress has been made in terms of formulations and applications. Hydrogels are a type of material that consists of a self-supporting, water-swollen three-dimensional (3D) viscoelastic network that allows molecules and cells to diffuse and adhere. Hydrogels, on the other hand, have recently received a lot of attention for their usage in a wide range of biological applications, including cell therapies, wound healing, cartilage/bone regeneration, and medication sustained release. This is due to their biocompatibility and physical qualities that are similar to those of natural tissue. Based on ancient and new papers in this subject, this study attempts to provide an overview

miRNA-Based Therapies: Revolutionizing Cancer Treatment Strategies

-
Image
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that play a pivotal role in regulating gene expression post-transcriptionally. Since their discovery in 1993, miRNAs have been identified as key players in various cellular processes, including development, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and stress response [1] . In recent years, miRNAs have gained significant attention in the field of cancer research due to their involvement in tumorigenesis, metastasis, and treatment resistance. This article delves into the intricate relationship between miRNAs and cancer, highlighting their potential as therapeutic targets and exploring the challenges and opportunities of utilizing miRNA-based therapies. miRNAs function by binding to complementary sequences within the 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) of target mRNAs, leading to mRNA degradation or translational repression. This intricate interaction allows miRNAs to fine-tune the expression of numerous genes, ultimately influe
