    A study of the prospects of regenerative medicine highlighting some established protocols to generate organ-specific cells
    (BRAC University, 2018-07) Raisa, Zeba; Poddar, Ashis Kumar
    Regenerative medicine is a prominent field of research with a potential to substitute the current treatment options. From the replacement of damaged or injured tissue/organ to the changing direction of current medicinal practice, it can play a very impactful role. Tissue engineering is a sub-field of regenerative medicine that deals with the generation of body parts ex vivo, by seeding cells into a supporting scaffold. The basic components of regenerative medicine are cells and scaffolds, therefore, the current therapies include cell-based therapy, using biomaterials and implanting scaffolds seeded with cells. It is now possible to generate many cells or cells alike by guiding the differentiation of the stem cells. Various methods and protocols that are established through the research to get hepatocytes, cardiomyocytes and neural cells have been discussed in this project work. The study also highlighted the application of the above-mentioned cells in the treatment of many diseases.

    Physical currency or crypto currency, which one will be better for our economy?
    (Brac University Research For Development Club (BURED), 2024-07-03) Rohan, Raian Kibria; Raisa, Zeba
    As the world transitions towards a cashless society, there is a growing debate on whether physical currency or cryptocurrency is better for the economy. While physical currency has been the traditional medium of exchange, cryptocurrencies are gaining popularity due to their decentralized nature and potential for lower transaction costs. This paper examines the pros and cons of each option, including factors such as security, ease of use, and potential for financial inclusion. Ultimately, the question of which one is better for the economy depends on a range of factors, including the specific needs and circumstances of each country.
