Prama Ghosh , Amity University Kolkata Brazosport Water Authority, a water treatment plant in Lake Jackson, Texas, showed the presence of Brain-Eating Amoeba, Naegleria fowleri late Friday around 9:30 p.m. A “do not use” advisory was issued across the plant’s service area shortly after. Discovered in 1965, Naegleria fowleri infects the human body by entering […]
Richismita Hazra, Amity University Kolkata Climatic variations affect the abundance, spread, and phenology of species. Removal of microclimates that the butterflies need to survive, along with drastic climatic variations has led to extreme weather alterations and temperature fluctuations. This has affected the survival of butterflies that are ectotherms and hence dependent on external sources of […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Immunotherapy, although being a formidable cancer treatment, produces durable responses for a few tumor types only. Lately, scientists have identified 182 genes that enable the cancer cells to evade death by the immune system. They carried out genome-wide CRISPR screens across a group of genetically varying mouse cancer cell lines, […]
Team bioXone The regulatory effects of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in a range of developmental processes and diseases have generated tremendous attention from the scientific community worldwide. Although the exact knowledge of their action is limited, a small number of well-studied lncRNAs have provided clues about their biological functions and mechanisms. A well-studied novel lncRNA, […]
-PRIYANKA CHAKRABORTY, AMITY UNIVERSITY, KOLKATA Lupus erythematosus, an autoimmune disease associated with inflammation affects the skin, kidney, heart, central nervous system, etc, and also produces antibodies that work against cellular nuclei of the body. Two patients suffering from lupus have been successfully treated by a monoclonal antibody, daratumumab. This monoclonal antibody targets specific plasma cells that […]
Team bioXone.in The sporadic increase of nCoV (SARS-CoV-2) aroused widespread concern about the associated morbidity and mortality. The scientific community is also worried about the developing ways that could help propagate the spread of the virus. So, the research to date gathered up to a review suggests that birds, being migratory, perching, and also possessing […]
-Thota Kanishka Rao, Amity University Kolkata Skeletal muscle is one of the three major muscle types, composed of skeletal muscle tissue which is under the voluntary control of the somatic system. Maintaining muscle mass and performance into older age is prime for human health-span and quality of life. Five to ten per cent of older […]
Subhangi Das, Bankura Sammilani College OXGENE has developed scalable gene therapy technology, marking the day as the launch of its scalable, plasmid-free technical system for AAV. OXGENE ‘s new TESSA technology is a great illustration of the change in AAV manufacturing. Adeno associated virus or AAV having benefits such as low immunogenicity and a favorable […]
Prama Ghosh, Amity University Kolkata Past information has shown that patients with type 2 diabetes would by and large lean toward fewer injections and more prominent adaptability than is typical of the current once-daily insulin treatment. Therefore, decreasing the number of injections might build acknowledgment of and adherence to insulin treatment among patients with type […]
