Metabolomics is the newest hype in the 'omics' family. Although defined as highly important to recent biological research, the analytical science applied is far from acceptable for the majority of publications that appear nowadays. Take a look at our approach to tackle the metabolomics issue, which remains a new name for an old science.
In recent years, therapeutic antibodies targeted to various immune checkpoint molecules have progressed from preclinical studies to clinical deployment with impressive results.

Metabolites have various functions, including fuel, structure, signaling, stimulatory and inhibitory effects on enzymes, catalytic activity of their own (usually as a cofactor to an enzyme), defense, and interactions with other organisms (e.g. pigments, odorants, and pheromones).
Metabolome refers to the complete set of chemical compounds involved in an organism's metabolism (such as metabolic intermediates, hormones and other signaling molecules, and secondary metabolites)
Metabolomics is the scientific study of chemical processes involving metabolites. Metabolomics is a relatively new member to the ‘-omics’ family of systems biology technologies.

METABOLOMICS is the systematic study of the small molecular metabolites in a cell, tissue, biofluid, or cell culture media that are the tangible result of cellular processes or responses to an environmental stress.
Immunotherapy is based in reactivating the patient immune system specifically against the neoplasia, tumors have immunosuppression mechanisms that allow them to control and evade the immune response.
There are different immunotherapy approaches like tumor-targeting monoclonal antibodies, adoptive T cell transfer, anticancer vaccines, checkpoint inhibitors, most of these in important clinical trials in which the effects and toxicities are still evaluated. They are also beginning tested on a combination of immunotherapies and other non-immunological therapies in order to increase the survival of patients. Immunotherapy is still a young area and it needs to reach its peak, but it will surely be a great tool to treat and cure cancer.

Anti Radiation Vaccine, like vaccines against infectious disease and some vaccines against cancer, are administered prophylactically , however most vaccines against cancer usually administered after the onset of disease.
So, vaccines against infections and cancer considerably divided for prophylactic vaccines and therapeutic vaccines.
Anti Radiation Vaccine belonging to group vaccine which administered prophylactically.
Prophylactic use of Anti Radiation Vaccine very important because irreversible damage for cells compartments of irradiated organisms developed in first hours after irradiation
The Complete Guide for Metabolomics Methods and ApplicationBennie George
Metabolomics(Metabolomics) is a new system of biological technology developed by the post-gene era, aimed at the determination of all small organisms within the metabolites. Compared to Genomics, Transcriptomics and Proteomics, metabolomics directly and accurately reflects the current state of the organism and tell us what happens to the organism instead of predicting what may happen! Metabolomics includes untargeted metabolomics, targeted Metabolomics and next-generation target metabolomics according to their detection of metabolites.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
