Gurpreet Kaur Bamrah, Shoolini University Cancer ranks as a leading cause of death in the world, with 19.6 million new cases and over 10 million casualties in 2020 alone. With such a high fatality rate, it is necessary to continue advanced research and development of novel cancer treatments and therapies to achieve a better survivability […]
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 […]
Souradip Mallick, National Institute of Technology, Rourkela Inside mitochondria, there is a mitochondrial DNA which passed exclusively from mother to offspring through the egg cell. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) evolves at a rapid rate than nuclear genetic markers, thus it plays a significant role in phylogenetics and evolutionary biology. It also regulates metabolism, epigenome modifications, and […]
Surupa Chakraborty, Amity University Kolkata The Latin phrase “omne vivum ex ovo” attributed to William Harvey and summarized as ‘all living things come from eggs’ highlight the central importance of the mammalian egg. Reconstitution of oogenesis in a culture system serves as a useful technique to generate eggs from pluripotent stem cells which can be […]
