Several Neuroimaging studies in humans have shown the functions and relationship between the anatomical changes of brain and PTSD. The three major areas of the brain are affected by PTSD .These three areas are the amygdala, hippocampus and prefrontal cor...

p38 MAPK and PI3K/AKT signalling cascades in Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative condition which has the second largest incidence rate among all other neurodegenerative disorders barring Alzheimer's disease (AD). Currently there is no cure and researchers continue to probe the therapeutic prospect in cell cultures and animal models of PD. Out of several factors contributing to PD prognosis, the role of p38 MAPKs (mitog...

p38 MAPK in MDS

(MDS) are a group of heterogeneous hematopoietic malignancies occurring mainly in the elderly and characterized by the defective production of mature blood cells. MDS subtypes can be classified as " low-risk " and " high-risk " syndromes on the basis of their risk of progression to acute leukemia. Although progression to leukemia is the most common cause of death in high-risk patients, infectio...
