Vaishnavi Kardale, Bioinformatics Centre, Savitribai Phule Pune University To grow, cells have to divide. A single cell divides into two, and then four, and so on. Finally, we turn into a body with trillions of cells. Each cell undergoes differentiation to get its specialized function. From this, it might be quite clear how essential cell […]
Deivayanai. V.C , Rajalakshmi Engineering College Many countries across the globe have huge vaccine-producing factories for making vaccine shots. Certain vaccines are being made where influenza viruses are injected into chicken eggs. These eggs produce a high copy of the viruses. Production workers then extract the viruses from the egg, reduce the virulence or kill them […]
Avani Dave, Jai Hind College Background Based on historical evidence, the epidemics of plant diseases have been quite destructive and continue to scar global well-being. Most of these epidemics came into existence due to international transactions and merchandising of plant materials which eventually takes the face of species declination. Hymenoscyphus fraxineus is an invasive fungus […]
Shrestha Dutta, Amity University Kolkata What is hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)? Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common types of liver cancer. The disease mostly occurs in patients with chronic disorders such as cirrhosis of liver, Hepatitis infections, obesity, diabetes, etc. It is a “primary” type of cancer, meaning it is not caused by […]
Sneha Singhal, Jaypee Institute of information technology, Noida DNA is present in the form of chromatin fibers tightly wrapped around histones in the cell nucleus. Therefore, rendering the large fraction of DNA surface inaccessible for protein binding. For this problem, several studies began to uncover the various strategies used by DNA-binding proteins. Scientists proposed that […]
Varuni Ankolekar, Quartesian Studies demonstrate that Artificial Sweeteners (AS) which are synthetic sugars that are commonly consumed can turn healthy gut bacteria into damaging microbes and could cause significant health issues such as blood poisoning etc. What are artificial sweeteners? Artificial sweeteners are chemicals or synthetic sugars that are used to sweeten foods and beverages. […]
Kanikah Mehndiratta, MSc., University of Glasgow Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been a global healthcare issue for the past many years, in human beings as well as animals treated against infectious diseases. The World Health Organization (WHO) in 2015 even launched a Global Action Plan to target AMR through better antimicrobial usage monitoring systems. The World […]
Madhavi Bhatia,NIPER Guwahati Wheat is an important source of human protein and mineral elements, it is also considered a major staple crop worldwide. Wheat production is mainly affected by one of the destructive diseases Fusarium head blight (FHB) also known as scab, caused by Fusarium graminearum (Fg). This disease results in huge wheat loss and […]
Saptaparna Dasgupta, Bennett University The intermediate and transitory reaction of breast-tumour stiffness to pathological rigidity has been carefully investigated in their native microwave environment. However, it remains unclear how the main phenotypes of stiffness caused by the cancer cell are stained in vivo over a while. Certain mechanisms are associated based on how fibrotic-like matrix […]
Akash Singh, Banaras Hindu University We’ve discovered the structure of DNA, the blueprint for life, constructed computers to read it, and mastered the power to rewrite it in the last 70 years. With real-time genomic sequencing and new-generation mRNA vaccinations, gene technologies have allowed us to track and combat COVID-19 faster than any other outbreak […]
