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 […]
Aqsa Khan, Jamia Millia Islamia The History Behind The Warburg Effect In the 1920s, Otto Warburg described the increased production of lactate utilizing glucose even in an adequate supply of oxygen in tumor cells. Warburg, from his study, concluded that this impairment in cancer cells is due to dysfunctional mitochondria. Over a period, however, with […]
Sayak Banerjee, Amity University Kolkata Antibiotic resistance and its impact: Antibiotics are drugs or chemical substances secreted by certain microorganisms engineered to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria. Thus, they induce the treatment of bacterial infections. Often when these drugs are overused or in the case of any drug abuse, bacteria develop an antibiotic […]
Soumya Sarathi Ganguly, Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur Under drought stress, it is considered a positive feature to maintain standard plant physiological functions. This is because it indicates healthy plant growth under those stressful conditions. This study was performed to determine the role of Bacillus subtilis HAS31, which is a plant-growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) in plant growth under […]
PRAGYA SANTRA, AMITY UNIVERSITY KOLKATA Normally osteocyte apoptosis is the default fate to remove dead bone cells and its self-renewal for preserving the strength. But at times the apoptosis gives rise to pathological conditions of ageing, fatigue, inflammation, decreased bone mineral density, ultimately bone loss. Osteocytes surgery often induces osteoporosis resulting in bone microstructure and […]
Binayak Das, Team bioXone Salinity stress is one of the most prevalent abiotic stresses that obstructs plant development and harshly affects the agricultural yield of valuable crops. Emerging studies have depicted the production of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and its role in a plant’s response to the onset of various abiotic stresses. Although knowledge regarding the […]
-Dr. Jutishna Bora, Amity Institute of Biotechnology, Amity University Kolkata All forms of diabetes are preliminarily characterized by hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia is a condition during which there is an excess accumulation of glucose in the bloodstream of an individual for a prolonged time. Not only does it play a significant role by being the causal link between […]
-Anuska Sen,Team bioXone Ionizing radiation (IR) is known to have numerous ill-effects and can even be fatal to most organisms on exposure at high concentrations. Scientists are continuously in search of organisms or strains of bacteria that are resistant to such radiation, meaning which possess the property of “radio-resistance”. Till date, it was known that […]
