AISHILA KAR, AMITY UNIVERSITY KOLKATA Scientists have long believed but couldn’t make sure that brain activity declines once we sleep. Most sleep research is conducted using electroencephalography, a technique that entails measuring brain activity via electrodes put down along a patient’s scalp. But, an assistant at EPFL’s Medical Image Processing Laboratory, Anjali Tarun, decided to […]
Ayooshi Mitra, Amity University, Kolkata Some organisms develop an internal switch that can remain hidden for very long or until it is switched on due to stress. Computer cell simulations have evolved over many generations. They disclose why some organisms maintain an un-used switch mechanism that turns on under severe stress, altering some of their […]

PRIYANKA CHAKRABORTY, AMITY UNIVERSITY, KOLKATA Liver fibrosis is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among human beings. The unavailability of proper antifibrotic therapy makes the disease more deadly and the patients more vulnerable. RLX ( peptide hormone human relaxin-2), acting through a G protein-coupled receptor relaxin peptide receptor 1 (RXFP1), promotes tissue […]

Thota Kanishka Rao, Amity University Kolkata Researchers have commenced on re-established investigations concerning androgen treatment – a precursory breast cancer treatment, as recent findings in mice have shown that it might help to restrict tumor development. In 2020, approximately 2 million people in the United States were diagnosed with this cancer. Around 15% of those […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata According to the scientists at Baylor College of Medicine, antiviral immune pathways in triple-negative breast cancers (TNBC) can be activated by therapeutics targeting RNA splicing along with the stimulation of tumour cell death. Around 10-20% of breast cancers are triple-negative, which signifies that they are negative not only for estrogen […]
Husna, Amity University Kolkata Aging is characterized by the progressive loss of physiological integrity which results in impaired body functions leading to a greater risk for diseases and death. This deterioration of the biological clock of our body is a major risk factor for several diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease. […]
Sampriti Roy, University of Calcutta “The era of procrastination, of half measures, of soothing, and baffling expedience of delays is coming to its close. In its place, we are entering a period of consequences.” -Winston Churchill Today we find growing consensus among scientists, local and regional governments, and millions of citizens in accepting climate change as […]
Rohit Bhattacharjee, Amity University, Kolkata Recently, single‐atom catalysts (SACs) are receiving increasing attention in varied chemical process fields, and meantime, rising nano catalytic drugs provide a unique tumor therapy modality while not victimizing harmful chemo drugs.
