-Sagnik Nag, Amity University With the increasing cases of COVID fever, there’s still hope for upcoming vaccines within a few months. The hope came with a massive responsibility on the Government for mapping out its extensive cold storage to ensure the quick delivery of the vaccine across the country. A national expert group surveyed to […]
Shrestha Dutta, Amity University Kolkata Researches show that hypoxic exosomal miRNA load recognizable HIF-1α regulated miRNA, miR-210, is a potential mediator of sphere development in cells naked to hypoxic exosomes. The knockdown of HIF-1α in hypoxic EWS cells prompted diminished exosomal miR-210 levels and decreased the ability of hypoxic exosomes to form spheres. Inhibition of […]
Saptaparna Pal, Amity University Kolkata The UK doctors have launched a clinical trial to know whether the cheap and commonly available Bacillus Calmette Guerin BCG vaccine can boost the immune system to prevent healthcare worker from getting affected by a coronavirus. The primary goal of the vaccine is to stimulate the adaptive immune system. This […]

-Richismita Hazra, Amity University Kolkata Antibodies serve as analytical barriers to viruses or viral infections. They play a dual role in communicating the existence of invading pathogens in infected cells, also, in interfering with the processes that are essential to the viral lifecycle. The antibodies activate phagocytes which is a potential mechanism of eradiating viruses. […]
-Surupa Chakraborty, Amity University Kolkata A new CRISPR based test that can diagnose the coronavirus infection within few minutes, joins the race of speedy detection after RT-PCR, rapid testing, and FELUDA test. The potent applications of CRISPR have been talked about for many years now. It is best known for its ability to seek out […]
-Sampriti Roy, Asutosh College, University of Calcutta. “As a result of this unique human viral expression system based on stem cells, it will now be possible to simulate a large number of diseases in their progression and, for the first time, analyse them with the utmost precision”, said Guiscard Seebohm, delighted at the success of […]
-Raddur Samaddar, Team bioXone While the world is waiting for a COVID-19 vaccine with absolute eagerness, the closest promising immunological treatment that can help stop the rate of the ever-increasing spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is the Convalescent Plasma Therapy. This treatment relies upon the transfusion of the anti-viral antibodies from donors to recipients with […]
– Ayooshi Mitra, Amity University, Kolkata Sexual variation in winged creatures is controlled hereditarily as invertebrates, even though the sex chromosomes are unlike. Males have a ZZ sex chromosome constitution, while females have ZW. Genes on the sex chromosomes must start gonadal sex separation during early-stage life, prompting matched testes in ZZ individuals and one-sided […]
-Husna, Amity University Kolkata The loss in sense of smell and taste experienced most commonly due to viral fever is termed as Anosmia. Millions of olfactory receptor cells are present in our nasal cavity. These cells captures molecules with specific odour and activate a nerve response which then carries the signal to the brain where […]
