Abstract

Bioinformatics is a science. It is used to analyze and interpret the biological data with interdisciplinary inputs. It is performed in a computer, i.e. in a dry lab to analyze biological queries that are answered in a progression mode that may go on indefinitely till homeostasis is reached. Genesis of this report is due to several requests, initially generated by publication in a regional news magazine, Gujarat Medical Journal. We noted, as an accidental finding in our ongoing research on neurodegenerative diseases treated with Bone Marrow derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BM-MSCs) or with Adipose Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (ADMSCs). We decided to academically progress the research by publishing it in a journal devoted to stem cell research [1]. This publication in turn has generated global interest and we are receiving reprint requests and the protocols. Meanwhile we have successfully translated ADMSCs to all three germinal layers [2]. Potential is thus expanded to a new drug discovery [3] OA paper [4] Diabetes paper. Advances in bioinformatics have so progressed that using computers as a dry lab, enormous data can be accessed. We therefore report on the progression of our research on MSCs as well as results obtainable with bioinformatics on several cytokines that may have impinged our research.
