چکیده

Description: Synthetic biology provides the ability to re-engineer and compose core biological processes in new ways to create robust living systems that address energy, environment, and medical applications. This concentration equips students with essential knowledge and skills on foundational design-oriented models, genetic circuit analysis and design tools, circuit fabrication, characterization, testing, and optimization. Students also study current and expected future applications of biological technologies along with relevant ethical aspects.

The Antiglycation Ability of Typical Medicinal Plants, Natural and Synthetic Compounds: A Review

Given the prevalence of diabetes and the increasing number of diabetics, it is essential to find medicines to decrease the chronic complications of diabetes. Several studies have demonstrated that chronic hyperglycemia and its complications are directly related to protein glycation. Thus, identifying natural inhibitors to stop glycation of proteins may play a crucial role in managing the chroni...
