Agrima Bhatt, Rajasthan University The environment has already been affected by global climate change. Glaciers have receded, ice on rivers and lakes has broken up earlier, plant and animal ranges have altered, and trees have begun to bloom earlier. Scientists are confident that global temperatures will continue to climb for decades to come, owing to […]
Nandini Pharasi, Jaypee Institute of Information Technology Co-relation between life forms: Association between two different life forms that eat from the same bowl is known as commensalism. Commensalism is a relationship between species in which one benefits while the other is neither affected nor harmed. These bacteria do not harm them but depend on them […]
Shayan Ahmed, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi Paediatric Myasthenia gravis is an immune-mediated neuromuscular junction disorder characterized by periodic skeletal muscle weakening and lethargy. There are two forms of myasthenic weakness: ocular and generalized myasthenia gravis, based on whether the weakness is restricted to the ocular muscles. In Europe and North America, pediatric myasthenia gravis […]
Sneha Singhal, Jaypee Institute of information technology For examining the activity of aging control genes, scientists fed Drosophila (fruit fly) with antibiotics. Activities of most of the aging control genes get changed, and surprisingly, these antibiotics extended the lives of the flies. Drosophila’s life increased by six days after being fed antibiotics. 70% of the […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Secondary Metabolites as a Natural Defense System in Microbes: All living beings inherit a natural defence system for ascertaining their survival. Microorganisms are mostly dependent upon the synthesized natural products that serve as a defence system against threats posed by the environment. This enables them to fight against other microorganisms. […]
Diya Adhikary, Amity University Kolkata Normal body temperature plays a vital role in not only detecting illnesses or diseases but also in all the biochemical reactions taking place inside the body as these reactions cannot tolerate wide temperature fluctuations. Enzymes play a major role in various chemical reactions by acting as catalysts, helping in the […]
Sagnik Nag, Amity University, Kolkata World Microbiome Day aims at an initiative to extend awareness of the microbiota, and unite all researchers and firms fascinated by the topic. Microbes have an incredible effect on the health and balance of the environment we board. Theme of World Microbiome Day 2021: This year we are celebrating the […]
Sagnik Nag, Amity University, Kolkata Microbes within the built environment are implicated as a feasible source of contagion and certain syndromes, like allergies, are related to increasing urbanization. It’s now evident that cities, generally, have a notion on human health, though the mechanisms of this impact are broadly variable and sometimes little understood. Indeed, our […]
SHRESTHA DUTTA, AMITY UNIVERSITY KOLKATA Studies show that the ageing cycle might be connected with age-related changes in our gut microbiota. Currently, the presence of two-way communication between the gut and the mind – known as the ‘gut-brain axis – has played a significant role in moulding the aspects of behaviour and cognitive function. Researches […]
