Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata It is a necessity for all organisms for preserving energy homeostasis whenever there is a response to nutrient availability. They coordinate systemic energy homeostasis for regulating the balance of catabolism and anabolism through humoral factors. Insulin and counter-regulatory hormones like glucagon have been observed to take part as humoral factors […]
Soumya Shraddhya Paul, Amity University, Noida Organs’ capacity to maintain homeostasis and recover after harm is critical to an organism’s survival. Many supporting cells, including tissue-resident mesenchymal stem and stromal cells (MSCs), keep these processes going. MSCs are found in almost all vascularized tissues, including the upper and lower respiratory tracts. They are found in […]
Husna, Amity University Kolkata A balance of energy is very much essential for survival. Many factors influence the intake of food in our body, not only the caloric need or “hunger” factor. Only some neurons that govern the feeding in mice are known as “hunger neurons,” whereas others are not. There are different neural circuits […]
Ayooshi Mitra, Amity University, Kolkata Interspecies chimeras provide a unique platform for discovery and clinical use by probing early embryogenesis and regeneration. Interspecies chimeras are useful through interspecies blastocyst complementation to study human development and disease and also to produce functional human tissues. Cell competition involves a preserved fitness-sensing process during which adjoining less-fit but viable […]
Arjama Roy, Amity University Kolkata Obesity is a serious medical condition involving an excessive accumulation of body fat which increases the risk of health disorders. The prevalence of obesity is growing at an alarming rate in western countries. It is found that patients with high BMI (< 30) are undergoing surgical procedures, multiple times. In […]
Thota Kanishka Rao, Amity University Kolkata The influenza infection is related to significant trouble in the human population especially associated with specific danger to kids, the older, and those with certain ailments, for example, pregnancy, obesity, or metabolic disease. Disease with the flu infection triggers a natural immune response pointed toward starting the versatile reaction […]
Aakancha Shaw, St. Xavier’s College Kolkata The classical functions of the skeleton are locomotion, protection and mineral homeostasis. In addition to the conventional structural functions of the skeleton, it has also functioned as a site for significant glucose uptake and is also involved in the regulation of whole-body glucose metabolism. Recent observations have shown that […]
Husna, Amity University Kolkata The process of regulation of glucose in our blood at a steady-state is known as glucose homeostasis. This regulation is very important as long-lasting disturbances in the blood sugar concentration can cause both type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and other fatal diseases. To understand this complexity of blood […]
Arpita Adhikary, Amity University Kolkata Circadian rhythm is a 24-hour biological, natural rhythm that controls various regulatory internal mechanism including homeostasis, sleep-wake cycle etc. Different external (jet lag, night shift work, late-night eating) and internal factor (gene mutation, ageing, insomnia) are responsible for disruption of the circadian rhythm. Though rare disruption manages to keep the […]
