Kanikah Mehndiratta, MSc, University of Glasgow The human body encounters different types of pathogenic microbes and stressful events that can cause infection and convert normal cells into tumour cells. Our immune system has the ability to recognize and potentially eradicate such tumorous cells or any other cells working aberrantly. Mainly it’s the killer lymphocytes that […]
Agrima Bhatt, Rajasthan University The emergence of COVID-19 has brought some serious landmarks in the field of science. With little knowledge of the infecting virus and its variants, scientists have made giant leaps to protect our society and to stop the spread of the virus. These giant leaps have come in the form of the […]
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 […]
Koustav Maiti, Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College, Rahara Many and different types of pathogens are found in the world that can infect and cause severe diseases in plants. This kind of infection or disease can reduce crop yields in the plants. The pathogens discharge effector proteins into plant cells during the infection. Some effector proteins […]
PRIYANKA CHAKRABORTY, AMITY UNIVERSITY KOLKATA Discovery of a new hydrogel-based biomaterial is now under trial that, when applied to wounds will trigger a regenerative immune response and will potentially promote reduced scarring, more significant skin healing and complex structured skin tissues resulting in healthier skin. The researchers were aware of the role of the immune […]
-Sayak Biswas, Amity University Kolkata Cells are made up of a specifically hostile environment. This hostile environment contains numerous immune sensors that help to detect infections caused by viruses. Production of interferons (IFN) takes place and the intracellular DNA plays a massive role in the inducing of the IFN. The cytosolic DNA gets recognized by […]
