Genetic Disorders of Surfactant Dysfunction

The genetics of interstitial lung diseases due to surfactant dysfunction disorders in children

Rare genetic variants support mitochondrial dysfunction in Lewy body disorders.

Parkinson disease (PD) and other Lewy body disorders are common neurodegenerative conditions manifesting with progressive motor and nonmotor symptoms. Although their pathogenesis remains to be fully elucidated, a number of genetic findings have helped better understand the molecular mechanisms involved. Mutations in genes causing PD that are inherited in a Mendelian fashion as well as genetic v...

Mitochondrial Dysfunction & Neurological Disorders

Most of the living organisms derive their energy requirements from ingested food material through controlled metabolic reactions. Prokaryotes like bacteria obtain the ATP, the energy subunit from series of enzymatic reactions which occur in the cytosol [1]. In contrast to prokaryotes, eukaryotes have evolved a highly specialized double membrane organelles i.e., mitochondria encompassing electro...

automatic verification of authentication protocols using genetic programming

implicit and unobserved errors and vulnerabilities issues usually arise in cryptographic protocols and especially in authentication protocols. this may enable an attacker to make serious damages to the desired system, such as having the access to or changing secret documents, interfering in bank transactions, having access to users’ accounts, or may be having the control all over the syste...
