Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is characterized by autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing u03b2-cells in the pancreas, an organ in the abdomen, produces very little or no insulin caused by a complex interaction of genetic and environmental factors. Insulin is a hormone that helps the body to absorb and use glucose and other nutrients from food, store fat, and build up protein and without insulin, blood glucose (sugar) levels become higher than normal. The genetic factors involved consist of multiple susceptibility genes, at least five of which, HLA, INS, CTLA4, PTPN22 and IL2RA/CD25.

Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections,

Diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by the inability of body to produce or respond to insulin a hormone required by body to burn glucose for energy. Type I Diabetes mellitus, also known as Insulin Dependent Diabetes mellitus is a most frequent chronic disease of childhood, afflicts 0.2-0.3% of human individuals due to auto immune destruction of insulin secreting pancreatic u03b2 cells. GAD65 is the major auto antigen in Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IIDM). Thus, this project is aimed at expression of GAD65 in E. coli.

Candidiasis is the term for disseminated, visceral, and mucocutaneous infections. The majority of these infections are caused by the species Candida albicans. C. albicans can infect such diverse host niches because it is supported by a variety of virulence factors and fitness attributes. These factors, particularly biofilm production, may explain treatment failures; for example, biofilm-producing strains show increased resistance to antifungal drugs and host immunity. Several genes are thought to promote biofilm formation, including those for hyphal wall protein 1 (hwp1),

Propolis, a natural resinous substance collected by honeybees from buds and exudates of plants, is known for its use in the beehive as a protective barrier against intruders. It is widely used as a popular remedy in folk medicine and as a constituent of bio-cosmetics. Recently, it is extensively used in food and beverages to improve health and prevent diseases. Depending on the season, bee species, vegetation and the area of collection, the chemical composition of propolis are qualitatively and quantitatively variable, resulting in diverse biological properties.
