Denying manganese availability for pneumonia causing bacteria holds promise for novel antibiotics

BioTech Today August 25, 2021August 25, 2021 1

Arya Sukumar, College of Agriculture, Vellayani Vitamins and minerals are required for the survival of all organisms, including pathogens. Metal ions are necessary for all living beings. Researchers from Australia have discovered how Streptococcus pneumonia (pneumococcus) gets its important mineral manganese from our bodies. This groundbreaking study might lead to more effective treatments against this […]

ROS generation by Schistosome eggs boost hepatic pathology

BioTech Today August 19, 2021August 19, 2021 1

Saptaparna Dasgupta, Bennett University Schistosomiasis is a disregarded public health tropical disease. The most serious disease is largely attributable to the grain produced by eggs and subsequent fibrosis in the host liver. This may lead to portal hypertension or even the death of the host. Host disease is most commonly observed, schistosome eggs produce M2-rich […]

An Overview on Neutralizing Antibodies

DNA tales August 2, 2021August 2, 2021

Srabani Roy Chowdhury, MAKAUT, West Bengal Neutralizing antibodies are antibodies from the adaptive humoral immune system that neutralize a pathogen before entering our cells. And, they provide sterilizing immunity to our bodies by neutralizing the pathogen before infection. Production of these antibodies in our body happens naturally by our immune system. They are in charge […]

Data Analysis – An Important Tool in the Pandemic

BioTech Today July 29, 2021July 29, 2021 1

Agrima Bhatt, Rajasthan University The progression of an epidemic comes at a rapid pace for us to be able to understand it. What is more devastating than this progression is the ability of a pathogen to evolve and spread. The reality of it is already heart-breaking as we can see in the current pandemic of […]

Haploflow: Tracing the disease back to its Origin

BioTech Today July 22, 2021July 21, 2021

Agrima Bhatt, Rajasthan University In the last few decades, humankind has gone through major healthcare upheavals causing a large amount of death and destruction. Epidemics, pandemics have come, some have passed with time but some have evolved to stay. And as we continue forward, scientists are already predicting the next pandemic to come soon. In […]

Chloroplasts: The Rescuer from Pathogen Phytophthora infestans Invasion

BioTech Today July 16, 2021July 16, 2021 1

Saptaparna Dasgupta, Bennett University Chloroplasts turn off photosynthesis during immunological activation, generate antimicrobial chemicals, and connect to a nucleus through tubes known as stromules. Although the alteration of chloroplast in a light reaction is well documented, the dynamics of the migration of chloroplasts in response to pathogen attack are less characterized. It is depicted in […]

Closteroviridae: An exceptional virus family in wild citrus plants

BioTech Today July 15, 2021July 15, 2021 1

Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Viromics or viral metagenomics techniques have led to the characterization of many new plant viruses. This has been broadening our understanding of the evolution and ecology of plant viruses in nature. Generally, the knowledge regarding citrus viruses has been highly inclined towards virus pathology in cultivated orchards. Recently, scientists have […]

Biological Warfare: An Emerging Threat

DNA tales July 9, 2021August 2, 2021 1

Souhrid Sarkar, Amity University Kolkata UNDERSTADING BIOLOGICAL WARFARE Biological warfare is a primitive concept that has been in use for nearly 2000 years. Evidence for the deliberate use of microorganisms and toxins as bioweapons are there throughout history. Biological warfare is the use of biological toxins or infectious pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, insects, and […]

Extracellular vesicles for shuttling small RNAs and proteins

bioxone June 29, 2021June 29, 2021 1

Aparna Pandey, IILM Academy of Higher learning and Education, Greater Noida Extracellular vesicles are small sheaths particles derived from various cell types. Extracellular vesicles are lipid bilayer-enclosed, cytosol-containing spheres that are liberated by all eukaryotes and prokaryotic cells into the extracellular environment. Small RNAs plays an important role in different cellular processes like differentiation in […]
