Summary
The Bosnian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences (BJBMS) evolved into Biomolecules and Biomedicine (BB) in 2023. This strategic rebranding enhances global reach and scientific scope to meet evolving knowledge dissemination demands.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical Sciences
- Molecular Biology
- Medical Research
Background:
- The scientific community faces continuous evolution due to rapid advancements and increased demands for global knowledge sharing.
- The Bosnian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences (BJBMS) recognized the need to adapt to these dynamic changes.
Discussion:
- The transition from BJBMS to Biomolecules and Biomedicine (BB) in 2023 represents a strategic adaptation.
- This rebranding signifies an expansion of the journal's scientific scope and global influence.
Key Insights:
- The journal's name change reflects a broader focus on biomolecules and broader biomedical research areas.
- This strategic evolution aims to better serve the international scientific community.
Outlook:
- The new identity as Biomolecules and Biomedicine is poised to foster greater international collaboration and knowledge exchange.
- This initiative supports the growing trend towards interdisciplinary research and open science.

01:16Drug Biotransformation: Overview
2.9K
Pharmaceutical substances known as xenobiotics are predominantly lipophilic and nonionized. This enables them to permeate lipid bilayers, such as cell membranes, and interact with intracellular target receptors. Lipophilic drugs have an advantage in crossing biological barriers and reaching their intended sites of action. However, lipophilic drugs often have a restricted capacity for renal expulsion or elimination from the body. When these drugs enter the kidneys and undergo glomerular...

The central dogma explains the flow of genetic information from DNA nucleotides to the amino acid sequence of proteins.
RNA is the Missing Link Between DNA and Proteins
In the early 1900s, scientists discovered that DNA stores all the information needed for cellular functions and that proteins perform most of these functions. However, the mechanisms of converting genetic information into functional proteins remained unknown for many years. Initially, it was believed that a single gene is...

01:16TGF - β Signaling Pathway
7.7K
The TGF-β signaling pathway regulates cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, motility, and development. TGF-β ligands that induce TGF-β signaling are synthesized in their latent form. Several proteases or cell surface receptors such as integrins act upon the latent form, releasing the active ligand. There are three types of mammalian TGF-βs: (TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3) that bind as homodimers or heterodimers to TGF-β receptors. The TGF-β receptors...

01:16Calmodulin-dependent Signaling
5.3K
Calmodulin (CaM) is a calcium-binding protein in eukaryotes that controls various calcium-regulated cellular processes. It has four calcium-binding sites that bind calcium to form the calcium-calmodulin ( Ca2+-CaM) complex. GPCR stimulation increases the calcium levels in the cells that bind to CaM and induces a conformational change.
The Ca2+-CaM complex does not have enzymatic activity by itself. Instead, the complex binds downstream target proteins, including membrane proteins or enzymes,...

01:28ATP and Macromolecule Synthesis
6.1K
Biological macromolecules are organic compounds, predominantly composed of carbon atoms. The carbon atoms are covalently bonded with hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and other minor elements. There are four major biological macromolecule classes: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Most macromolecules are composed of single subunits, or building blocks, called monomers. The monomers combine with each other using covalent bonds to form larger molecules known as polymers.

2.6K
Understanding drugs, drug products, and their performance in pharmaceutical science is pivotal. Drugs, whether simple molecules or complex compounds, are designed to interact with the body's biological systems to diagnose, treat, or prevent diseases. Drug products include various delivery systems such as tablets, capsules, injections, and inhalers. The performance of these drug products is gauged by their ability to deliver the active ingredient to the desired site of action at the...
