Sristi Raj Rai, Amity University Kolkata Free electrons of limited elements (Au, Ag, Cu) has the optical property to hover over surfaces when excited, forming an electron cloud. When an electromagnetic wave strikes such electrically conducting metal interfaces, the collective and rapid oscillation of electrons gives rise to the conversion of photons into plasmons. The […]
SAMRAT SARKAR, AMITY UNIVERSITY KOLKATA Where the entire world is trying to find a way out of this pandemic situation, Bharat Biotech with collaborated with Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have gone for another massive bang on the pandemic by trying a new novel chimp-adenovirus, a single-dose intranasal vaccine for Covid-19 using […]
Camelia Bhattacharyya, Amity University Kolkata India, a land that depends on agriculture is also a country that has yet to walk a long way to be known as a developed country. Thus, we depend mostly on cattle and not on machines for farming purposes. The water buffalo is one such cattle breed which is of […]
-Shrestha Dutta, Amity University Kolkata South American Gymnotiform knifefish have electric organs that create electric fields for electro-location and electro-communication. Electric organs can be obtained from the myogenic or the neurogenic cells. The early-stage development of EOs is still obscure. We describe the advancement of the mEO in the Gymnotiform bluntnose knifefish, Brachyhypopomus gaudio. EO […]
-Ruchita Karmakar, Amity University Kolkata Researchers extracted the nucleic acid from the sludge solid and used the reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) to find the N1 and N2 gene that targets SARs-CoV2. They successfully detected the pathogen in all samples of wastewater. A high-resolution data-set, better than influent and the statistical analysis, emerged from examining wastewater. […]
– Husna, Amity University Kolkata Visualizing gene expression, protein localization, and other cellular activities via special equipment, expensive chemicals, or invasive treatments are quite commonly done through Reporters. For instance, the β-glucuronidase (GUS) and luciferase are broadly used reporters that require the addition of expensive substrates X-Gluc and luciferin, respectively. Moreover, GUS-staining is invasive. Luciferase […]
-Shristi Sharma, Team bioXone Researchers from Duke University have found a drug against enterovirus 71, a virus that causes hand, foot, and mouth disease in infants and young children. While many patients recover in a week after sustaining fever and rashes, some even face paralysis and brain edema in severe cases. The drug compound in […]
-Anuska Sen,Team bioXone Ionizing radiation (IR) is known to have numerous ill-effects and can even be fatal to most organisms on exposure at high concentrations. Scientists are continuously in search of organisms or strains of bacteria that are resistant to such radiation, meaning which possess the property of “radio-resistance”. Till date, it was known that […]
Sambit Majumdar, Amity University Kolkata Metastatic cancer is a sort of cancer that spread to different parts of the body from where it’s started. Metastatic kidney cancer often spreads to the lungs, brain, bones, and other parts of the body. The 3 CheckMate 9ER trial has provided a first-line treatment for patients with this sort […]
– Prama Ghosh, Amity University Kolkata Analysis of single cells is essential in order to study the molecular mechanisms of cellular functions. Recently, hidden molecular systems that lead to disease pathogenesis in patients is revealed – thanks to Single-cell genomics. Being a combination of technologies, it can uncover many hidden processes of biological systems. Molecular […]
