MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL

" It can happen. It does happen.

But it can't happen if you quit ." Lauren Dane.

‘We are what we repeatedly do.

Excellence then is not an act, but a habit .’ Aristotle

It gives me immense pleasure to pen a few words for our e-bulletin. At the onset I would like to thank t

last year’s editors and congratulate the newly selected editors for the current year.

Our first consideration is always in the best interest of the students. Our goal is to promote academexcellence and continuous improvement.

I believe that excellence in education is aided by creating a learning environment in which all learners asupported in maximizing their potential and talents. Education needs to focus on personalized learni

and instruction, while promoting an education system that is impartial, universally accessible, and meeti

the needs of all students.

It is of paramount importance that our learners have sufficient motivation and encouragement in order

achieve their aims. We are all very proud of you, our students, and your accomplishments and looforward to watching as you put your mark on the profession in the years ahead.

The call of the time is to progress, not merely to move ahead. Our progressive Management is looki

forward and wants our Institute to flourish as a Post Graduate Institute of Excellence. Steps are taken

this direction and fruits of these efforts will be received by our students in the near future. Our Teacheare committed and dedicated for the development of the institution by imparting their knowledge and pl

the role of facilitator as well as role model to our students.

The Pharmacy profession is thriving with a multitude of possibilities, opportunities and positi

challenges. At Guru Nanak Institute of Pharmaceutical Science and Technology, our focus is on holist

needs of our students.

I am confident that the students of GNIPST will recognize all the possibilities, take full advantage of t

opportunities and meet the challenges with purpose and determination.

Excellence in Education is not a final destination, it is a continuous walk. I welcome you to join us

this path.

HISTORICAL ARTICLE

The Development of Chemotherapy:One of the successful researchers in the development of newchemical compounds specifically created to fight disease-causingorganisms in the body was the French pharmacist, Ernest FrancoisAuguste Fourneau (1872-1949), who for 30 years headed chemicallaboratories in the world-renowned Institut Pasteur, in Paris. Hisearly work with bismuth and arsenic compounds advanced thetreatment of syphilis. He broke the German secret of a specific forsleeping sickness; paved the way for the life-saving sulfonamidecompounds; and from his laboratories came the first group ofchemicals having recognized antihistaminic properties. His workled other investigators to broad fields of chemotherapeuticresearch.

NEWS UPDATE

Antiviral compound may protect brain from

pathogens, West Nile virus, study shows: (15th

May, 2015)An antiviral compound may protect the brain from invading

pathogens, researchers have found. Studying West Nile virus

infection in mice, scientists showed that interferon-lambda

tightens the blood-brain barrier, making it harder for the virus to

invade the brain.

Smaller volumes in certain regions of the brain

could lead to increased likelihood of drugaddiction: (15th May, 2015)Individual differences in brain structure could help to determine

the risk for future drug addiction, new research suggests. The

study found that occasional users who subsequently increased

their drug use compared with those who did not, showed brain

structural differences when they started using drugs.

Omega-3: Intervention for childhood behavioral

problems? : (15th May, 2015)Omega-3, a fatty acid commonly found in fish oil, may have long-term neurodevelopmental effects that ultimately reduce antisocialand aggressive behavior problems in children, a new studysuggests.

Phage spread antibiotic resistance: (15th May,

Soft-tissue engineering for hard-working

cartilage: (15th

May, 2015)An international study points the way toward wider, moreeffective use of biocompatible materials in repairing human tissues.Focusing on the difficult case of restoring cartilage, which requiresboth flexibility and mechanical strength, the researchersinvestigated a new combination of 3-D printed microfiberscaffolding and hydrogels. They expect the new approach to havean impact on other areas of soft-tissue engineering research,

including breast reconstruction and heart tissue engineering. Bacteria contribute to immune suppression in skin

after repeated schistosome exposure: (14th

May, 2015)Our two square meters of skin act as a defensive barrier against

environmental pathogens but is also covered by beneficial

commensal bacteria. A study explores this delicate balance and

reports that when schistosome parasites repeatedly penetrate the

skin, they are cloaked in skin bacteria, leading to a tightly

controlled and limited immune response, due in part to this

cloaking mechanism.

RNA splicing machinery offers new drug target:

(14th May, 2015)

A widespread cancer-causing protein called MYC promotes thegrowth of tumor cells in part by ensuring that RNA transcripts areproperly spliced, according to new research. Drugs that blockparts of the cell's splicing machinery may provide a new way tohalt the proliferation of MYC-driven cancers, researchers say.

radiation accidents by rapidly predicting who will survive, whowill die, and who should receive immediate medicalcountermeasures, according to scientists.

Digitizing Neurons: Researchers step up to

BigNeuron challenge with big computing

resources: (13th May, 2015)

Supercomputing resources at an American lab will support a newinitiative designed to advance how scientists digitally reconstructand analyze individual neurons in the human brain. Mapping thecomplex structures of individual neurons, which can containthousands of branches, is a labor-intensive and time-consumingprocess when done by hand. BigNeuron's goal is to streamline thisprocess of neuronal reconstruction -- converting two-dimensionalmicroscope images of neurons into 3-D digital models.

KNOWLEDGE BASED ARTICLE

'Hydrogels' boost ability of stem cells to

restore eyesight and heal brainsStem cells have the remarkable potential to develop into manydifferent cell types in the body during early life and growth. Inaddition, in many tissues they serve as a sort of internal repairsystem, dividing essentially without limit to replenish other cellsas long as the person or animal is still alive. When a stem celldivides, each new cell has the potential either to remain a stem cellor become another type of cell with a more specialized function,such as a muscle cell, a red blood cell, or a brain cell.

Stem cells are distinguished from other cell types by twoimportant characteristics. First, they are unspecialized cellscapable of renewing themselves through cell division, sometimesafter long periods of inactivity. Second, under certain physiologic

or experimental conditions, they can be induced to become tissue-or organ-specific cells with special functions. In some organs, suchas the gut and bone marrow, stem cells regularly divide to repairand replace worn out or damaged tissues. In other organs,however, such as the pancreas and the heart, stem cells only divideunder special conditions.Until recently, scientists primarily worked with two kinds of stemcells from animals and humans: embryonic stem cells and non-

embryonic "somatic" or "adult" stem cells. The functions andcharacteristics of these cells will be explained in this document.Scientists discovered ways to derive embryonic stem cells fromearly mouse embryos more than 30 years ago, in 1981. The detailedstudy of the biology of mouse stem cells led to the discovery, in1998, of a method to derive stem cells from human embryos andgrow the cells in the laboratory. These cells are called humanembryonic stem cells. The embryos used in these studies werecreated for reproductive purposes through in vitro fertilization procedures. When they were no longer neededfor that purpose, they were donated for research with the informedconsent of the donor. In 2006, researchers made anotherbreakthrough by identifying conditions that would allow somespecialized adult cells to be "reprogrammed" genetically to assumea stem cell-like state.Stem cells are important for living organisms for many reasons. Inthe 3- to 5-day-old embryo, called a blastocyst, the inner cells give

rise to the entire body of the organism, including all of the manyspecialized cell types and organs such as the heart, lungs, skin,sperm, eggs and other tissues. In some adult tissues, such as bonemarrow, muscle, and brain, discrete populations of adult stem cellsgenerate replacements for cells that are lost through normal wearand tear, injury, or disease.

Given their unique regenerative abilities, stem cells offer newpotentials for treating diseases such as diabetes, and heart disease.However, much work remains to be done in the laboratory and theclinic to understand how to use these cells for cell-based

therapies to treat disease, which is also referred to as regenerativeor reparative medicine. Laboratory studies of stem cells enable scientists to learn about thecells’ essential properties and what makes them different fromspecialized cell types. Scientists are already using stem cells in thelaboratory to screen new drugs and to develop model systems tostudy normal growth and identify the causes of birth defects.Stem cells hold great therapeutic promise because of their ability

to turn into any cell type in the body, including their potential togenerate replacement tissues and organs. While scientists areadept at growing stem cells in a lab dish, once these cells are ontheir own--transplanted into a desired spot in the body--they havetrouble thriving. The new environment is complex and poorlyunderstood, and implanted stem cells often die or don't integrateproperly into the surrounding tissue.Partially restoring vision In addition to examining how the stem cells benefit from life in

hydrogels, the researchers also showed that these new cells couldhelp restore function that was lost due to damage or disease.One part of the Stem Cell Reports study involved the teaminjecting hydrogel-encapsulated photoreceptors, grown from stemcells, into the eyes of blind mice. Photoreceptors are the lightsensing cells responsible for vision in the eye. With increased cellsurvival and integration in the stem cells, they were able topartially restore vision.

After cell transplantation, measurements showed that mice withpreviously no visual function regained approximately 15% of theirpupillary response. Their eyes are beginning to detect light andrespond appropriately.

Repairing the brain after strokes In another part of the study, Dr. Michael Cooke, a postdoctoralfellow in both Shoichet's and Morshead's labs, injected the stemcells into the brains of mice who had recently suffered strokes.

After transplantation, within weeks there was improvements inthe mice's motor coordination.Advancing stem-cell based therapies Leveraging engineering techniques--such as the design andmanufacture of new biomaterials--to develop new stem-cell basedtherapies using hydrogels has always been on scientists mind.Because the hydrogel could boost cell survival in two differentparts of the nervous system, the eye and the brain, it could

potentially be used in transplants across many different body sites.Another advantage of the hydrogel is that, once it has deliveredcells to a desired place, it dissolves and is reabsorbed by the bodywithin a few weeks.This remarkable material has only two components--methylcellulose that forms a gel and holds the cells together, andhyaluronan, which keeps the cells alive.Through this physical blend of two materials scientists are gettingthe best of both worlds.
