Nimrit Palan, Mumbai University. What is Epigenetics? Epigenetics is the study of genes functions influenced by your behaviour and your surroundings. Epigenetics is the study of heritable phenotypic modifications that do not entail DNA sequence changes in biology. DNA Methylation: DNA methylation is a procedure in which methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule. […]
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. […]
Saakshi Bangera, DY Patil School of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics Hair cells in the inner ear and Merkel cells of the skin have distinct similarities in their development. These hair cells specialize in capturing sound vibrations in the inner part of the ear, whereas Merkel cells of the epidermis can sense a touch at the surface […]
Richa Prakash, Central University of Punjab Introduction With the development in science and technology, we got a basic idea of the nutritional needs of human beings leading to the minimization of malnutrition and health conditions resulting from nutritional deficiency. This led to an approach known as “one-size-fits-all”, and also platforms like MyPlate and Food Guide […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Many people have a wrong conception that since DNA damage can occur any time at any genomic site of a neuron, DNA repairs take place throughout the genome arbitrarily. Salk scientists have proved this view to be invalid saying that genomic sites are benefitted. Genomic sites are also known as […]
CAMELIA BHATTACHARYYA, AMITY UNIVERSITY KOLKATA It is a norm as well as a truth universally acknowledged that a single person who’s a prey of a situation would not be blamed alone but a scenario of discomfort would be brought upon his family as well. Yes, you read it right and I call it “Pride and […]
Surupa Chakraborty, Amity University Kolkata Scientists cured lost eyesight in mice by genetically reprogramming the neurons that make up the optic nerve. They used the mice eye as a model tissue to show that the ectopic expression of genes like Oct4, Sox2, and Klf4 (OSK) in mouse retinal ganglion cells can help in restoring vision […]
Shinjini Bandopadhyay, Amity University Kolkata Adverse childhood experiences (such as early life adversity, stress, and childhood trauma) can have a lifelong impact on mental and physical health. Childhood trauma has been associated with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease that manifest later on in adult life. Most or all […]
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 […]
