Parnad Basu, Amity University Kolkata Lymphoma is a type of cancer that occurs in the human lymphatic system- the network that fights the body’s diseases. It includes the lymph nodes, bone marrow, spleen, and the thymus gland. There are mainly two major subtypes of lymphoma, Hodgkin’s lymphoma and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). Hodgkin’s lymphoma has Reed-Sternberg […]
Neha Khan, Jamia Millia Islamia Scientists are rushing to understand the consequences of warming on Arctic ecosystems as the North Pole, the Arctic Ocean, and surrounding Arctic land warm fast. They’re talking about nitrogen, a vital nutrient. Using fossilized plankton, the researchers examined nitrogen reasserts and delivery costs within the western and critical open Arctic […]
Nandini Pharasi, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Scientists have discovered mutant barley whose roots do not grow sideways as they typically would, but instead straight down. “Hypergravitropic” is the term given to this mutant because it follows gravity considerably more strongly than its conspecifics do. Barley as a drought-resistant plant Grains such as barley are […]
Sneha Singhal, Jaypee Institute of information technology, Noida The United States has developed a new CRISPR-Cas system that cuts RNA. It was discovered by the group led by Stan Brouns (Delft University of Technology). Scientists anticipate that the study, published in the August 26 issue of the journal Science, will open up a myriad of […]
Nimrit Palan, Mumbai University A recent finding regarding nanoclusters has the potential to unlock the maximum capabilities of catalysis in chemistry, paving the way for new ways of making and using particles that are both atom-efficient and energy-resilient. What are nanoclusters? Metal nanoclusters are made up of a small number of atoms, usually in the […]
Sneha Singhal, Jaypee Institute of information technology, Noida In green plants and some other organisms, sunlight is used for producing nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Plants generate oxygen through photosynthesis by using the green pigment chlorophyll. A dynamic process According to a new model developed by the University of Illinois, photosynthesis is more of […]
Nandini Pharasi, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Researchers have cracked the question of what produces the unique, beneficial sugar found in stingless bee honey. A new natural source of the rarest disaccharide trehalulose, stingless bee’s honey, has been identified by Australian researchers. What did researchers say about this? Dr Natasha Hungerford, the study’s leader, stated […]
Ananya Ghosal, MAKAUT (WB) Teratogenicity is tested for use in the patient with childbearing potential before marketing. Animal-free in-vitro models allow fast selection of lead compounds which further contribute to 3R’s principle i.e., Refine, Replace and reduce by smoothly selecting the compounds that are submitted for the regulatory studies in animals. Disorganized 3D structures and […]
Aqsa, Jamia Millia Islamia Vaccination is the quickest and most effective way to protect against infectious diseases. It helps your body to recognize the specific pathogen and generate an immune response against it. Different vaccines have been developed against the causative agent of the current Covid-19 pandemic. These vaccines have undergone successful clinical trials and […]
Sribas Chowdhury, Adamas University, Kolkata Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania recently used machine learning and deep learning methods to study Native American shell rings that date back to the mid-Holocene era (approximately 3000-5000 years ago). The existence of shell rings was reported way back in the early 19th century. However, not much had been […]
