Thota Kanishka Rao, Amity University Kolkata A new research showed that cognitive SuperAgers have resistance from the improvement of fibrous tangles in the brain locale associated with memory and are known to be markers of Alzheimer’s disease. The tangles are made of tau protein which forms structures that transport supplements inside the nerve cell. These […]
Shrayana Ghosh, Amity University Kolkata In biomedicine and biotechnology, the biosynthesis of magnetic nanoparticles using bacteria could soon play an important role. A process for the isolation and purification of these particles from bacterial cells has now been developed and optimized by researchers from the University of Bayreuth.
