Thota Kanishka Rao, Amity University Kolkata Improving the age of comprehensively receptive antibodies against influenza A virus (IAV) is a pertinent objective toward building up a global IAV immunization. While antibodies that bind conserved IAV epitopes have been recognized in people, antibodies specific for the variable epitopes are substantially more predominant than antibodies perceiving conserved […]
-Sristi Raj Rai, Amity University Kolkata Aerosols are minute solid particle/liquid droplets suspended in atmospheric air or other gaseous phases. Various natural (volcanic eruptions, dust storms) and anthropogenic activities (air pollution) give rise to the formation of these aerosols. The particles acts as the core upon which water vapor condense, leading to cloud formation. These […]
PRAGYA SANTRA, AMITY UNIVERSITY KOLKATA The history of cancer research has always been a mystery in the result. Recently it was reported that cancer cells adapted themselves to grow and proliferate in an inflammatory environment. ENPP1, a readily accessible molecule found on the surface of cancer cells plays a major role in this mechanism. Naturally, […]
Sampriti Roy, University of Calcutta “It has been surrounded by confusion since forever”, said Kaspar Delhey, an Australian ornithologist, on the famous Gloger’s rule that he believes was “very dense and awfully written” in the 1833 book containing the same. It was in 1833 that Constantin Wilhelm Gloger first remarked that animals living in warmer […]
Biswadeep Sen, Amity University Kolkata Every cancerous outline hosts various problems for us, and cervical cancer is no different. But recent studies show that we have indeed found a way to tackle these “slippery opponents” of ours and might be closer to finding a permanent solution. The oncoproteins E6 and E7 of the Human Papillomavirus […]
Souradip Mallick, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela Inside mitochondria, there is a mitochondrial DNA which passed exclusively from mother to offspring through the egg cell. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) evolves at a rapid rate than nuclear genetic markers, thus it plays a significant role in phylogenetics and evolutionary biology. It also regulates metabolism, epigenome modifications, and […]
Ayooshi Mitra, Amity University, Kolkata A small but important aspect of managing a pandemic virus infection that affects the lungs, including SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), and influenza, is mechanical ventilation. Generally, ventilators are costly, difficult to maintain, and need considerable training to use. The majority of ventilators rely on high-flow oxygen and medically pure compressed air […]
Parnad Basu, Amity University Kolkata Remdesivir (C27H35N6O8P), is a broad-spectrum antiviral medication. It is administered via injection into a vein. Before the completion of clinical trials of the COVID-19 vaccines, remdesivir will be used to fight COVID-19. Now, COVID-19 is always mutating. And it is important to study those mutations to make remdesivir more effective […]
Camelia Bhattacharyya, Amity University Kolkata Coordination, a term used to describe a proper balance and work-together atmosphere amongst certain things or people. This term is very important when dealing with a car. To drive a car, the most important thing is the proper coordination of sight, hearing, and the movement of the limbs in order […]
Rohit Bhattacharjee, Amity University, Kolkata Researchers from Russia and Switzerland have examined nanostructures covering the corneas of the eyes of small fruit flies. The group figured out how to deliver the safe biodegradable nanocoating with antimicrobial, against intelligent and self-cleaning properties in a financially savvy and eco-accommodating way. They collaborated for an interdisciplinary examination project […]
