Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata In the year 1977, the Archaebacteria or Archaea, the third domain of life separate from Bacteria and Eukaryota, was proposed by Carl Woese and George Fox. They had analyzed small subunit ribosomal RNA ( SSU rRNA) oligonucleotide fragments from 13 microbes before establishing this proposal. In the late 1980s, the use of SSU rRNA to describe […]
Saptaparna Dasgupta, Bennett University Type 2 diabetes is an impairment known to hamper the body’s ability to regulate and utilize sugar (glucose) as fuel. It is a chronic disease in which there is too much sugar in the blood. Type 2 diabetes can eventually lead to cardiovascular, neurological, and immune system problems. A prominent cause […]
Vaishnavi Kardale, Bioinformatics Centre, Savitribai Phule Pune University Pancreatic cancer is the seventh leading cause of cancer death in both men and women alike. This happens mainly due to a poor prognosis. Pancreatic cancer is not easily diagnosed at an early stage because there aren’t any noticeable signs in the early stage of pancreatic cancer. […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Environmental impacts on wildlife There has been an unexpected change in the environment such as severe climatic changes, and the destruction and fragmentation of habitat, due to recent human activity. These also include the discharge of novel substances to the environment with the capacity to affect the physiology, behaviour, and […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Multiple genetic changes direct cancer from mutations to aneuploidy. Aneuploidy is the presence of an unusual number of chromosomes in cancer cells. It is estimated that inherently, 90% of solid tumors, like breast cancer and colon cancer, and 75% of blood cancers are caused by aneuploidy. Although being an indication […]
Sagnik Nag, Amity University Kolkata Our blood serves as an imperative circulatory fluid transporting many chemical substances and respiratory gases throughout the body. There are certain molecules present in the blood which serve as markers providing indications towards the state of our health. Molecules such as hormones and drugs directly or indirectly affect the health […]
Team bioXone The regulatory effects of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in a range of developmental processes and diseases have generated tremendous attention from the scientific community worldwide. Although the exact knowledge of their action is limited, a small number of well-studied lncRNAs have provided clues about their biological functions and mechanisms. A well-studied novel lncRNA, […]
