Esha Mukherjee, Amity University Noida The age-related functional decline has a significant impact on the elderly’s ability to do daily living activities independently and is strongly linked to age-related disorders (ARDs), putting a strain on modern society and driving up healthcare costs. The most prevalent, least understood, and poorly treated age-related functional decline is cognitive […]
Avani Dave, Jai Hind College Out of the multiple essential macronutrients that help the living organisms at every step of their survival, Phosphorus (P) is ranked of paramount importance. Mainly due to its role in several biomolecules like the nucleic acids, phospholipid membrane, an important factor for the working of the enzymes, and various energy-rich […]
Arka Acharyya, Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College, Rahara Researcher Jun Hee Lee and his team at the University of Michigan developed a new technique to visualize using high-throughput sequencing instead of a microscope. They named it technology Sequence-Scope technology or Seq-Scope. The development of light and electron microscopes has a profound role in the study […]
Ayooshi Mitra, Amity University, Kolkata Some organisms develop an internal switch that can remain hidden for very long or until it is switched on due to stress. Computer cell simulations have evolved over many generations. They disclose why some organisms maintain an un-used switch mechanism that turns on under severe stress, altering some of their […]
Ayooshi Mitra, Amity University Kolkata Transcription is a process that we often encounter while studying about gene expression. The transcription phase of gene expression allows the cells to live and do their jobs. We know that an enzyme called RNA polymerase wraps itself around the double helix of DNA during transcription. And using one strand […]
Ayooshi Mitra, Amity University Kolkata Immortality is defined as eternal life i.e. being untouched by death, also acknowledged as eternal existence. Why do living beings gradually decay when they grow older? Senescence is the steady degeneration of cells or more appropriately of the entire organism ultimately. Organismal senescence leads to an increase in mortality rate […]
Shreelekha Pore, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela 25% of non-Hodgkin Lymphoma includes Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL). Through the study of cell-of-origin (COO) using gene expression profiling (GEP), DLBCL has been classified as- germinal centre B-cell-like and activated B-cell-like. Artificial intelligence is widely used for prognostic purposes for certain diseases. Machine Learning can be used […]
– Sagnik Nag, Amity University Kolkata The human heart is a complex organ of the human body comprising of 4 distinct chambers. Cardiovascular ailments are the leading cause of death around the globe. Advanced research and insights on the epidemiology, etiology and mechanism of the ailment require an in-depth understanding of the physiological functioning of […]
– Husna, Amity University Kolkata Visualizing gene expression, protein localization, and other cellular activities via special equipment, expensive chemicals, or invasive treatments are quite commonly done through Reporters. For instance, the β-glucuronidase (GUS) and luciferase are broadly used reporters that require the addition of expensive substrates X-Gluc and luciferin, respectively. Moreover, GUS-staining is invasive. Luciferase […]
-Sristi Raj Rai, Amity University Kolkata In the whirlpool of diseases that strike humans, how worthy will it be to pinpoint the origin behind by just using 4 English alphabets that conclude specie’s fate? Hidden in 98% non-coding regions occurring in the large size of 6.4 bn bp human genome, with minor allele frequency (MAF) […]
