Anup Kumar Pandey, Amity University Kolkata Assessment of knee arthritis is done by the different Chinese versions of the Oxford Knee Score. They are Malaysian, Singaporean and Hong Kong Chinese versions that differ slightly in wordings and use of Cantonese in the Hong Kong version. 194 patients from mainland China participated in the study. Each […]
Camelia Bhattacharyya, Amity University Kolkata Potent diseases occur in both sexes, few are sex-specific; leiomyosarcoma (LMS) is one of them which affects mostly the female uterus, the limbs, and the retroperitoneum and accounts for about 11% of all adult soft tissue sarcomas (STS). While there are several types of LMS, the uterine LMS is the […]
Sayantani Halder,Amity University Kolkata Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) is a rare inherited human syndrome (recessive autosomal trait), caused due to the defect in mechanism of repairing of damaged DNA (or mutated DNA) characterized by hypersensitivity to sunlight, developing skin cancer at a very early age. The primary cause of this disease is the absence of a […]
Parnad Basu, Amity University Kolkata Goblet cells are modified epithelial cells that secrete mucus on the surface of mucous membranes of intestines and airways. The primary function of the intestinal epithelial GCs is to generate a protective mucus layer lining, which when hampered can lead to IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease). GCs accomplish this by secreting […]
Shrestha Dutta, Amity University Kolkata The Tumor microenvironment impacts pancreatic Tumor advancement and progression. Pancreatic Tumor organoid model systems that include stromal cells can be utilized to contemplate the interactions between malignant cells and the supporting stromal cells. The advantage of these systems and optical redox imaging is to show that pancreatic stellate cells (PSCs) […]
DEEPON CHAKRABORTY, UNIVERSITY OF CALCUTTA Boreal bats, A resident of high latitudes of Southwestern Finland, Norway and North America, are generally insectivorous. As they are living in high altitudes, they face enormous fluctuations in seasonal food availability.

In addition to the conventional structural functions of the skeleton, it has also functioned as a site for significant glucose uptake and is also involved in the regulation of whole-body glucose metabolism. Recent observations have shown that […]
Chitra Roy, University of Calcutta In 1965, a group of British oncologists viewed DNA fragments which were floating around chromosomes in cancer cells. For decades, there has been largely ignored as cellular debris. Recent advancements of technology in the field of genetics and cellular biology has paved a way for better understanding of complex diseases […]
Arjama Roy, Amity University Kolkata Gastric adenocarcinoma is the 5th most typical cancer worldwide. The main risk factor for non-cardia gastric adenocarcinoma is atrophic gastritis. It is because of infection with Helicobacter pylori (H pylori). However, in Western populations, due to the decreasing pervasiveness of H pylori infections, the incidence of gastric adenocarcinoma has declined […]
Parnad Basu, Amity University Kolkata PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) is a technique used to amplify small segments of any DNA. In conventional PCR, DNA libraries suffer from template mispairing. This ultimately leads to the obvious loss of unique sequences. To be more efficient, ePCR (emulsion Polymerase Chain Reaction) can be used as it has a […]
