These complexes have a great therapeutic and mechanistic significance, however, to date, the functional and structural roles of K-Ras mutations within these complexes are not completely […]
Priasha Dutta, Amity University Kolkata We all know how our genes are responsible for the transmission of characteristics like physical features, conditions, and diseases from one generation to the other. However, the discovery of a set of genes found in some individuals known as the “serial-killer genes” (or the “murder genes”) leads us to the […]

Reelin signalling is required for axonal targeting, regulation of dendritogenesis, and spine formation in mature neurons. It also plays an important role in ensuring hippocampal integrity, synaptic plasticity, and […]
Soumili Chakraborty, Amity University, Kolkata Stem cells undergo asymmetric cell division to give rise to two daughter cells: One daughter cell which is similar to that of the original stem cell, And the second daughter cell differentiates into a non-stem cell. Stem cells are largely studied to understand the underlying mechanisms, by which they contribute to […]
