Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) plays a critical role in Alzheimer's disease (AD) by regulating amyloid beta (Aβ) clearance through direct interaction. Non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) in ApoE alter its structure and impair function, contributing to disease progression. This study aimed to identify functionally damaging nsSNPs in the ApoE gene using in silico tools and to assess their structural and binding effects on Aβ in the context of AD progression.

The cardiovascular protective effects of several DPP-4 inhibitors have been shown in preclinical studies; however, the detailed influence of DPP-4 inhibitors on diabetic pathological alterations in cardiac tissue has not yet been elucidated.
Materials And Methods: We combined laboratory-based experiments and bioinformatics techniques to identify suitable candidate targets with significant biological pathways.
Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) instigating Chikungunya fever is a global infective menace resulting in high fever, weakened joint-muscle pain, and brain inflammation. Inaccessibility and unavailability of effective drugs have led us to an uncertain arena when it comes to providing proper medical treatment to the affected people. In this study, authentic encroachment has been made concerning the peptide-based epitope vaccine designing against CHIKV.
