Shrayana Ghosh, Amity University Kolkata Recently a mechanism has been determined by which microRNAs can be degraded by cells. This was discovered by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center. The information sheds light on the working of cells and how that can be used to establish a new way to combat infectious diseases and cancer. […]
Biswadeep Sen, Amity University Kolkata Ovarian Cancer is one of the most notorious forms of cancers, causing pain and discomfort to 1 in 108 women worldwide. Immune checkpoint therapy has shown that the presence of Immune Phenotypes limits its efficacy against this deadly foe. The previous digging had shed light upon the Wnt/β-catenin pathway and […]
Sumedha Guha, Techno India University Uncontrolled cell growth and division unleashed by an alteration (known as ‘mutation’) in the genetic circuits that regulate the cell cycle in a normal cell lead to cancer. In women, cervical cancer is the 2nd most commonly occurring cancer with more than 500,000 cases reported worldwide and 200,000 deaths. Cervical […]
Shristi Das, Amity University, Kolkata Chocolate mainly consists of cocoa mass extracted from beans of the cacao tree (Theobroma cacao). Cocoa has been known for its ability to induce good health effects since ancient times. But often chocolate had been criticized for fats and sugar contents as these lead to the risk associated with health […]
Thota Kanishka Rao, Amity University Kolkata Cancer, one of the deadliest diseases, is characterized by abnormal cell growth with it’s potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Despite the therapeutic advances in treating cancer, it is still the major cause of death in developing countries. Chemotherapeutic resistance remains the main characteristic […]
Soumili Chakraborty, Amity University, Kolkata Stem cells undergo asymmetric cell division to give rise to two daughter cells: One daughter cell which is similar to that of the original stem cell, And the second daughter cell differentiates into a non-stem cell. Stem cells are largely studied to understand the underlying mechanisms, by which they contribute to […]
Sumedha Guha, Techno India University In a recent study conducted on lung samples obtained from 79 patients who died of COVID-19, researchers from the Far Eastern Federal University in Russia discovered the SARS-CoV-2 virus can not only damage red blood cells (RBCs) but also prevent the new formation of key red blood cells (namely, Erythrocytes). […]
AISHILA KAR, AMITY UNIVERSITY KOLKATA Cancer begins when cells in the body start to grow uncontrollably. The most important utility for the lung was maintaining a stream utilizing oxygen within the whole body. Lung cancer is a single hazardous problem, which might present in small and in the nonsmall cell too. But it is normally […]
Richismita Hazra, Amity University Kolkata Human Papillomavirus (HPV) related head and neck cancer is identified as a distinct tumor entity with an elevated incidence reported for several countries. These tumors arise from squamous cells, ordinarily in the oropharynx. In contrast to other risk factors that are associated with cancer, HPV related cancer is driven by […]
Aakancha Shaw, St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata Isn’t cancer known to be a disease of the cell that is caused by the mutation of the genes that control proliferation and differentiation? Ever wondered what could be the physics of cancer? Recent observations have shown that the microenvironment (immediate small-scale environment) surrounding the cancer cell has a […]
