Kanikah Mehndiratta Transcriptomic analysis has been a recent approach to identify biomarkers associated with normal or diseased physiology in patients. An obvious approach to targeting any infection or disease through treatment strategies or prophylaxis requires a proper understanding of the mechanisms of its pathogenesis. Researching on better and more effective treatment approaches towards a deadly […]
Akash Singh, Banaras Hindu University Autophagy, often blamed for senescence, is a conserved process that promotes cellular homeostasis by degrading cytosolic components (sometimes referred to as cargo). This cargo sequestered into autophagosomes, which are double-membrane vesicles that are primarily carried in the retrograde direction to the perinuclear area, where they combine with lysosomes, ensuring cargo […]
Madhavi Bhatia, NIPER Guwahati Coronavirus infection recovery provides a significant amount of immunity to individuals but there are some cases that have revealed that even after successfully recovering from COVID-19 infection there are chances of re-infection. This is mainly found to be due to mutation in the virus leading to different variants like alpha and […]
Shrestha Dutta, Amity University Kolkata Metabolic syndrome (MS) is an association of metabolic irregularities, including hypertension, central obesity, raised amounts of triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), and insulin interference. MS or its parts are firmly associated with malignancy and mortality. It has been shown to escalate the occurrence of liver, colorectal, pancreatic, endometrial, and breast […]
Akshita Kumar Clostridioides difficile is an anaerobic Gram-positive bacteria that is capable of forming spores. Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is the most common reason behind hospital-acquired gastrointestinal infections and mortality in industrialised nations, with an estimated 223,900 infections, 12,800 deaths, and a $1 billion healthcare cost in 2017. In recent years, there has also been a rise in the number of community-associated […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Protein secretion is a physiological process taking place in eukaryotes for the firm regulation of a vast number of primary biological tasks including homeostasis, cell and tissue development, cell division, differentiation, and other complex biochemical processes. It is of key importance without which cellular communications are incomplete. Generally, proteins that […]
Esha Mukherjee, Amity University Noida Due to global environmental change, the potential of land ecosystems to deliver societal benefits – including the regulation of climate, the carbon cycle, and water and air quality, and the provisioning of goods including food and fibre is at risk. Plant demography, growth, and competition, as well as physical land-atmosphere […]
Souradip Mallick, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela Tuberculosis Disease (TB) is a major infectious disease with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. TB is one of the tenth leading causes of death worldwide ranking above HIV/AIDS. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that about 1.66 million people died from TB in 2020. Thus, various […]
Saakshi Bangera, DY Patil School of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Microtubules are the constituents of the cytoskeleton that help maintain the shape and structure of a cell as well as mediate intracellular transportation. They essentially are polymers of tubulin units and require post-translational modifications (PTMs) to function correctly. They undergo several modifications like methylation, acetylation and […]
Agrima Bhatt, Rajasthan University SARS-CoV-2 vaccination data has proven to lower the morbidity and mortality associated with COVID-19. However, this data severely lacks research among people suffering from immunodeficiency disorders, such as AIDS. In events of such opportunistic infections, where the human body is unable to produce the required immune response, the person is said […]
