Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Introduction:
RNA interference (RNAi) or Post-Transcriptional Gene Silencing (PTGS) is an important biological process for modulating eukaryotic gene expression.
It is highly conserved process of posttranscriptional gene silencing by which double stranded RNA (dsRNA) causes sequence-specific degradation of mRNA sequences.
dsRNA-induced gene silencing (RNAi) is reported in a wide range of eukaryotes ranging from worms, insects, mammals and plants.
This process mediates resistance to both endogenous parasitic and exogenous pathogenic nucleic acids, and regulates the expression of protein-coding genes.
What are small ncRNAs?
micro RNA (miRNA)
short interfering RNA (siRNA)
Properties of small non-coding RNA:
Involved in silencing mRNA transcripts.
Called “small” because they are usually only about 21-24 nucleotides long.
Synthesized by first cutting up longer precursor sequences (like the 61nt one that Lee discovered).
Silence an mRNA by base pairing with some sequence on the mRNA.
Discovery of siRNA?
The first small RNA:
In 1993 Rosalind Lee (Victor Ambros lab) was studying a non- coding gene in C. elegans, lin-4, that was involved in silencing of another gene, lin-14, at the appropriate time in the
development of the worm C. elegans.
Two small transcripts of lin-4 (22nt and 61nt) were found to be complementary to a sequence in the 3' UTR of lin-14.
Because lin-4 encoded no protein, she deduced that it must be these transcripts that are causing the silencing by RNA-RNA interactions.
Types of RNAi ( non coding RNA)
MiRNA
Length (23-25 nt)
Trans acting
Binds with target MRNA in mismatch
Translation inhibition
Si RNA
Length 21 nt.
Cis acting
Bind with target Mrna in perfect complementary sequence
Piwi-RNA
Length ; 25 to 36 nt.
Expressed in Germ Cells
Regulates trnasposomes activity
MECHANISM OF RNAI:
First the double-stranded RNA teams up with a protein complex named Dicer, which cuts the long RNA into short pieces.
Then another protein complex called RISC (RNA-induced silencing complex) discards one of the two RNA strands.
The RISC-docked, single-stranded RNA then pairs with the homologous mRNA and destroys it.
THE RISC COMPLEX:
RISC is large(>500kD) RNA multi- protein Binding complex which triggers MRNA degradation in response to MRNA
Unwinding of double stranded Si RNA by ATP independent Helicase
Active component of RISC is Ago proteins( ENDONUCLEASE) which cleave target MRNA.
DICER: endonuclease (RNase Family III)
Argonaute: Central Component of the RNA-Induced Silencing Complex (RISC)
One strand of the dsRNA produced by Dicer is retained in the RISC complex in association with Argonaute
ARGONAUTE PROTEIN :
1.PAZ(PIWI/Argonaute/ Zwille)- Recognition of target MRNA
2.PIWI (p-element induced wimpy Testis)- breaks Phosphodiester bond of mRNA.)RNAse H activity.
MiRNA:
The Double-stranded RNAs are naturally produced in eukaryotic cells during development, and they have a key role in regulating gene expression .
The increased availability of biomedical data, particularly in the public domain, offers the opportunity to better understand human health and to develop effective therapeutics for a wide range of unmet medical needs. However, data scientists remain stymied by the fact that data remain hard to find and to productively reuse because data and their metadata i) are wholly inaccessible, ii) are in non-standard or incompatible representations, iii) do not conform to community standards, and iv) have unclear or highly restricted terms and conditions that preclude legitimate reuse. These limitations require a rethink on data can be made machine and AI-ready - the key motivation behind the FAIR Guiding Principles. Concurrently, while recent efforts have explored the use of deep learning to fuse disparate data into predictive models for a wide range of biomedical applications, these models often fail even when the correct answer is already known, and fail to explain individual predictions in terms that data scientists can appreciate. These limitations suggest that new methods to produce practical artificial intelligence are still needed.
In this talk, I will discuss our work in (1) building an integrative knowledge infrastructure to prepare FAIR and "AI-ready" data and services along with (2) neurosymbolic AI methods to improve the quality of predictions and to generate plausible explanations. Attention is given to standards, platforms, and methods to wrangle knowledge into simple, but effective semantic and latent representations, and to make these available into standards-compliant and discoverable interfaces that can be used in model building, validation, and explanation. Our work, and those of others in the field, creates a baseline for building trustworthy and easy to deploy AI models in biomedicine.

Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

The project “Tecnologías Accesibles” is an initiative of
Medialab UGR and La Ciudad Accesible that aims to
generate a space for reflection, awareness and generation of
projects aimed towards the citizenry about the opportunities
that technology offers for the creation of a more accesible
environment for the needs of the people. Among other
aspects, it offers a chance to learn about practical
experiences that highlight the need for de the development of
digital, inclusive and non-discriminatory tools, not only as an
act of social justice, but also as a professional and economic
opportunity.

A repository of games and video games
that serve various purposes
GamesFor was conceived as a platform for analysis and
diffusion of games and video games that allow the
development of various purposes. The name is an
invitation to center ourselves around “games for”
different objectives; among them: creativity, the teaching
of values, developing skills, learning about various
themes, science, etc. Our objectives are:
• Create a repository of reference for the education
community and other interested groups that look to use or
develop games with specific, positive purposes.
• Create a community of users who are interested in games
and video games.

The video game phenomenon and the
“gamer” culture
The intrinsic complexity of video games and the ‘gamer’
culture requires us to address the nature of this phenomenon
from as many angles as possible. In this spirit, the meetings
and workshops of “GGames” were born, with the hope of
putting members of diverse communities interested in video
games in contact for the generation of interdisciplinary work
and the formation of future projects on this theme. The
creators of this initiative show a clear calling to break down
barriers and bring disparate academic and professional
trajectories together with artists and investigators coming
from areas such as history, fine artes, or computer science.

An integrative space of reflection about the
digital humanities and social sciences
The initiative “Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades Digitales del
Sur (#CSHDsur)” is a project for reflection and ongoing
action across whatever themes show a distinct and integrated
closeness to the transformations that have happened over
the past several years in the disciplines of the social sciences
and humanities. To do this, we use, cultural idiosyncrasies,
epistemologies, intellects, languages and social structures of
southern Europe and Latin America, as well as other areas of
knowledge and methodological focuses considered
peripheral by the dominant practices.

Digital Territories: Building Digital Humanities
and Social Sciences
MediaLab UGR, as a part of the Vice-Rectory of Investigation and
Knowledge Transfer of The University of Granada, has created the
International Congress of“Territorios Digitales– Construyendo unas
Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades Digitales” to inspire academic
discussion, such as the debate and encounter among the
participants in related themes within the large field of digital
transformation in the Social Science and Humanities. Territorios
Digitales hopes to be a meeting place to increase interdisciplinary
work and dialog between diverse areas and collectives that work or
are interested in the impact of technology in society. The
International Congress will occur annually, improving the knowledge
of the strategic work of MediaLab UGR, as well as digital humanities
and social sciences.

A closer relationship to the production and
dissemination of scientific knowledge
Digital mediums are completely transforming the way in which we
produce and diffuse scientific knowledge. More recently, they are
also starting to change other areas that arrived later to the
technological revolution, such as the Social Sciences and
Humanities. However, these new digital tools do not always receive
the academic recognition they deserve, even though the
development of just one of these products could consume the
entire career of a researcher. Knowmetrics seeks to highlight the
work of digital humanists, using the uniqueness of their field of work
as a starting point, with a philosophy of open and cross-disciplinary
science, oriented towards collaborative work. Knowmetrics is a
project developed at MediaLab UGR with researchers from diverse
institutions across Spain, Europe and America and financed by the
BBVA foundation.

Ideas, prototypes, and projects to
change Granada
This project was founded as a citizen laboratory for Granada.
It is centered on the generation of ideas, prototyping of
solutions, and the development of projects for the city.
It makes up a two dimensional network of citizen
participation:
• A physical space (as a laboratory of citizen social
innovation in Granada) and
• A digital space (a global platform, distributed for the
generation of ideas and development of prototypes
and projects).
