The recent sequencing of the human genome has opened a new era in biomedical research. The main question now is how to use all the data generated by Human Genome Project and convert DNA sequence into the cellular function. The main effort is now being placed on characterization of gene products, understanding their role in physiology, and delineating their association with human diseases. DNA m...

Brain Computer Interface is a biomedical equipment used to perform user interaction with computer equipment based on a brain activity measurement. Modular Research System presented in this article is a prototype platform under development aimed for supporting the research groups with low–cost versatile and flexible hardware platform for BCI research but also easy construct and verification of c...

Disease Ontology (DO) aims to provide an open source ontology for the integration of biomedical data that is associated with human disease. We developed DOSE package to promote the investigation of diseases. DOSE provides five methods including Resnik, Lin, Jiang, Rel and Wang for measuring semantic similarities among DO terms and gene products; Hypergeometric model and gene set enrichment anal...

The structures, names, bioactivities, and references of 124 briarane-type natural products, including 66 new metabolites, isolated between 2014 and 2016 are summarized in this review article. All of the briarane diterpenoids mentioned in this review were isolated from octocorals, mainly from Briareum violacea, Dichotella gemmacea, Ellisella dollfusi, Junceella fragilis, Junceella gemmacea, and ...

Functional insights at the gene product level would help the drug discovery industry to effectively tap targets for therapeutics and biomedical applications. A complete functional unit can be multidomain, and it is the co-occurrence and interaction of these multiple domains that determine the function and functional diversity of their gene products. With at least 10% of genes from complete geno...

The research and development of innovative new therapies are expensive and risky processes, and companies require substantial resources if they are to translate basic science into modern biomedical products. When resources are limited, as in the current economic climate, biotechnology start-up companies are often among the first casualties in the fight for assets. Policy-makers can play an impo...

Abstract While products get more challenging to repair, the right-to-repair movement aims empower consumers in their ability “use, modify, and repair” a device “whenever, wherever, however” they want. Here, best design practices remaining challenges of three industrial sectors – namely, consumer electronics, biomedical devices, clothing industry are investigated light movement. Based on literat...
