Chromatin and Disease
It is more evident now than ever before that dynamic organization of human genome into nucleoprotein structure, chromatin confers the unique regulatory mechanisms for most of the cellular phenomena, which include replication, transcription, DNA repair, recombination and also apoptosis. The dynamic nature of the chromatin is regulated by chromatin modifications (epigenetic alterations), remodeling, histone chaperones and functional interactions of different chromatin interacting n- histone proteins. Dysfunction of this highly inter connected machineries disturb the cellular homoeostasis, and thereby causes several diseases. As we advance in our knowledge of chromatin function and also disease mechanisms in more details, their causal relationship is becoming more evident. This has lead to the identification of chromatin function as target for new generation therapeutics.

Child soldiers and the defence of duress under International criminal law
Investigates the use of duress as a defence in international criminal law, specifically in cases of child soldiers. The prosecution of children for international crimes often only focuses on whether children can and should be prosecuted under international law. However, it is rarely considered what would happen to these children at the trial stage. This work offers a nuanced approach towards international prosecution and considers how children could be implicated and defended in international courts.
Chewing gum containing artemisa absinthium (Wormwood) and Vitamin B12 for Anorexia treatment
Anorexia is a medical name for loss of appetite which mean decrease appetite and it is the reason for mental and physical illness. Anorexia can accompany many diseases like infections, covid- 19, cancer, and it is also caused by many drugs. Our objective was to evaluate the level of knowledge about the anorexia among Syrian population, and, to develop chewing gum as health supplement. We used Artemisia absinthium L. (wormwood), vitamin B12 as pharmaceutical supplement ingredients, and, pine resin, or zein protein extracted from com as chewing gum bases...
