Sarah Khatkhatay, SK. Somaiya, Vidhyavihar A traditional pattern that somebody has to die for somebody to survive is never going to keep up with the ever-increasing incidence of organ failure. The need and supply of organs never meet. If human organs are considered as a fossil fuel of the organ supply, then pig organs are […]
Rutuja Borawke, Research fellow at CSIR-IGIB, MSc Biotechnology (MES Abasaheb Garware College, Pune) Recent studies have shown the genetic linkage between polymorphisms in oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR), adult attachment, and Instagram sociability stating that vulnerabilities on OXTR from various environmental factors might affect our (online) social behavior. OXTR and alleles: Oxytocin, popularly known as the […]
Aqsa, Jamia Millia Islamia The peripheral nerves can regenerate following an injury. Schwann plays a vital role in the regeneration of these nerves. They release myelin, de-differentiate, and proliferate. But the rate at which they regenerate is about 1 mm/day in humans, which is extremely slow. It often leads to incomplete recovery or disability in […]
Shreyas bhat, DY Patil School of biotechnology and bioinformatics Researchers have finally discovered the mechanism by which plants respond to light and this mechanism can be modified to enhance food growth. This would eventually help in increasing the crop yield for feeding our growing population as there is a decrease in agricultural land over the […]
Subhajit Nan, Amity University, Kolkata New research has found out that a drop in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration caused a sudden high cooling of the temperature when dinosaurs roamed the world, resulting in the formation of polar ice caps. Purpose of the Study A thorough study of the effects of fluctuations in the levels of […]
Sumedha B S, Bangalore University Herbicides are substances used in agriculture to kill weeds to promote the growth of desirable crops. A weed called Waterhemp is known for its resistance, so it is very difficult to control its growth. This belongs to the pigweed family and grows in soybean and cornfields. Herbicides used in corn commonly […]
Arya Sukumar, College of Agriculture, Vellayani A novel pathway related to the activation of receptors associated with cardiovascular disorders like diabetes, obesity, and hypertension is described in research published in the journal Cell Reports. Many of the antidiabetic effects of PPAR β/δ receptor activators are controlled by cytokine GDF15. The research aids in the discovery […]
Ananya Ghosal, MAKAUT (WB) A tardigrade is a distinct group that comes under microscopic invertebrates, that is best suited for extreme conditions. The fossil record of a tardigrade is extremely scattered despite their global distribution and evolutionary history in the terrestrial and aquatic environment. The differentiation of tardigrades from other panarthropod lineages was estimated by […]
Nandini Pharasi, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology This research is the first to show that intelligent animals can fight in captivity. According to an early study at the University of Guelph, the smarter the bird, the more pronounced the welfare requirements in captivity. For the first time, the study found that more intellect, which is […]
