These receptor proteins are engineered in a way that it gives the T-cells the ability to target a specific protein. Following […]
Kanikah Mehndiratta, MSc, University of Glasgow Cancer pathophysiology and devising its treatment approaches have been major areas of interest for scientists and doctors globally. Understanding cancer pathophysiology could help in checking for vulnerabilities and targeting the tumour therapeutically. To identify such metabolic pathways, metabolites need to be identified and/or quantified using tracing methods such as […]

Prama Ghosh, Amity University Kolkata The absence of effective drug delivery strategies has eventually restricted the very little medical progress in the field of Glioblastoma (GBM) – the most aggressive form of brain cancer in the past decades. The delicate anatomical structure of the brain results in low success rates. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) offers […]
Avipsha Datta, Rajabazar Science College, University of Calcutta The Bcl-2 family of proteins are the prime players in the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis. Malfunctioning of 1 or more members can lead to cancers, neurodegenerative diseases and various other developmental disorders. The pro-apoptotic member BAX plays a central role in apoptosis with the assistance of mitochondrial […]
