Bioluminescence can be defined as the production and the emission of light by a living organism. It is one of the natural phenomena that have successfully amazed our species for ages -so much that this amazement has even led to mythological stories from the ancient times about glowing scary creatures in the depths of the […]

‘Chaperone’ Definition Termin ‘chaperones’ refers to the unique group of proteins that play a crucial role in our organisms. Their main activity is linked to the controlling folding processes of the other proteins after the translation on ribosomes. It is possible to consider chaperones as a type of enzymes, which is another group of proteins,

In 1551, phantom pain was first described by Ambroise Paré. Paré was a surgeon in the French army, and he was reported to have amputated as many as 200 limbs in a day [1]. In his experience with soldiers following amputations, he wrote, For patients, long after the amputation is made, say they still feel

Biosensors are analytical devices that measure biological and chemical reactions by generating signals proportioned to the concentration of the analyte in the reaction. They consist of a bioreceptor that can detect a specific biological (or chemical) element and a transducer that converts the energy form through a process known as ‘signalisation’. Biosensors are commonly used

Lewy bodies comprise one of the most encountered nerve cell pathologies with an undefined biochemical composition (Spillantini et al., 1997). Aggregation of misfolded alpha-synuclein is a major contributor to the intraneuronal Lewy bodies (Coughlin et al., 2020). The accumulation of aggregated forms of alpha-synuclein in the cells of the brain causes synucleopathies, which are the
