Andrea Janet D’Souza, JAIN (Deemed – to – be) University Cancer is a disease that occurs due to uncontrolled cell division and an imbalance between cell proliferation and cell death. Programmed cell death or apoptosis can be induced in cancer cells through intrinsic and extrinsic pathways by the use of Caspases. Loss of apoptotic property […]
Priyanka Saha, Amity University Kolkata Introduction Senolytics are a special class of drugs that eliminate old or senescent cells (SC) in the body. They are developed to prevent or delay age-related diseases in humans. The word senolytics is connected to “Senostatic” which refers to suppressing senescence. Most of the senolytic agents are in the early […]
Monika Raman, PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore Canine distemper (CD) is by the Morbillivirus genus of the Paramyxoviridae family’s canine distemper virus (CDV). It is still a global epidemic of infectious diseases, particularly in domestic dogs in China, causing substantial harm to the growth of the dog industry. According to recent studies, the possibility of […]
Madhavi Bhatia, National Institute of Pharmaceutical Education and Research Guwahati Neuroblastoma is a form of solid tumour found in children. It accounts for about 15% of total cancer-related deaths in children. These tumours develop from a certain type of nerve cells and are found in the abdomen. The current treatment for patients with severe neuroblastoma […]
Shayan Ahmed, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi What is Glioma? A glioma is a form of brain tumour that arises from glial cells. It can be divided into subgroups based on shape and histology, such as astrocytoma and glioblastoma. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified glioma into four categories. Rapid cell growth and a […]
Monika R, PSG College of Technology, Coimbatore The novel severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has caused a global pandemic of COVID-19 on an unprecedented scale. Coronaviruses may cause acute and chronic respiratory, enteric, and CNS infections. The presence of a large number of asymptomatic/mildly symptomatic patients, effective human-to-human transmission, and immunomodulatory characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 contribute […]
Sapataparna Dasgupta, Bennett University Little study has been done on nanoparticles as biocompatible drug delivery carriers. Cancer, being the most lethal disease and the greatest cause of death worldwide, emerges as the most researched disease in the current scenario. Amongst cancer, breast cancer stands to be the leading cause of death for women all over […]
Diya Adhikary, Amity University Kolkata The spinal cord, a long bundle of nerves and cells, extends from the end of the brain stem (medulla oblongata) to almost the bottom of the spine (lumbar region of the vertebral column). The body’s central supporting structure plays a vital role in conducting signals to and from the brain […]
Souradip Mallick, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela An accident in any nuclear facility of the nuclear fuel cycle like a nuclear reactor leads to a large-scale release of radioactivity in the environment causing a great radiation exposure. The shock wave affects humans by rupturing eardrums or lungs. However, there are no fruitful, safe therapies for […]
Rohit Bhattacharjee, Amity University, Kolkata. It has always been a critical challenge to establish an adequate vascularisation of 3D bioengineered tissues. A vascular scaffold using the vascular corrosion casting technique was fabricated earlier that provided a lookalike 3D geometry of native kidney vasculature. In this, the collagen vascular scaffold with the restricted release of VEGF […]
