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 […]
Komal Bavaskar, Mumbai university Camels are large animals with long legs, a large nose, and a humped back. They are divided into two types: dromedary camels with one hump and Bactrian camels with two humps. Arabian camels are also called dromedary camels are found in the Middle East & North Africa. The scientific name Camelus […]
Soumya Shraddhya Paul, Amity University Noida The Synthetic Biological Circuit plays a huge role when it comes to understanding the concept of various things especially biological processes that happens inside organisms. Through regulatory gene expression, one can get an idea about how long does it take for normal organisms to respond to the external stimulus […]
Saakshi Bangera, DY Patil School of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Hepatitis C, caused by the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a worldwide disease with a prevalence rate of approximately 70 million infections. After an infection, the parenchymal cells produce a large number of interstitial lymphocytes. These lymphocytes stimulate the proliferation and differentiation of T helper cells. […]
Husna, Amity University Kolkata Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a tropical perennial root crop species that can efficiently accumulate starch in its storage roots. It ranks the fifth most important food crop worldwide. Approximately one billion people rely on the starch-rich roots of Cassava. It is harvested yearly with an approximately 12 months growth cycle. […]
Richa Prakash, Central University of Punjab Currently, we rely on the enrichment method for the detection and identification of any bacterial infection. This may include enrichment bacterial culture (increasing the number of the organism of interest to a level it can be detected) or PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) to amplify the nucleic acids to increase […]
