Ananya Ghosal, MAKAUT, WB Tissue Stem Cell has the ability to regenerate the function of host cell resulting in transplantation. At the time of regeneration, donor stem cells remain unknown. In quantitative clonal fate studies, a large population of donor spermatogonia stays in host testes, a small amount continues to regenerate for a long period […]
Sribas Chowdhury, Adamas University, Kolkata Scientists at the University of Basel reported two newly discovered glial cells that can revolutionize our understanding of brain functions. The human brain is very complex and the way it functions is even more complicated. So far, we don’t even know exactly how much we have an understanding of the […]
Rohit Bhattacharjee, Amity University, Kolkata A group of prominent researchers has multiplied down on its controversial speculation that hereditary pieces of the pandemic Coronavirus can integrate into our chromosomes and stick around long after the infection is over. If they are correct, the additions could clarify the uncommon finding that individuals can recuperate from COVID-19 […]
Aakancha Shaw, St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata In an attempt to investigate how the monkey embryos and human embryos function alongside, scientists discovered the world’s first monkey embryos containing human cells. Fascinating, right? The embryos were derived from a macaque and then injected with human stem cells in the lab, these were then allowed to grow […]
Sampriti Roy, Asutosh College, University of Calcutta SARS-CoV-2, the talk of the town (read “world”), still lacks information related to its origin and exact mechanism. The virus, found to cause DAD (diffuse alveolar damage), leads to respiratory failure which appears to be the common mechanism of death in patients with severe COVID-19 infection. However, with […]
Sashreek Ganguli, Amity University Kolkata Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a set of blood disorders inherited from parents. It is a genetic disorder caused due to A-to-T base mutation within codon 6 of the HBB/Beta-globin gene (which is a part of haemoglobin A/ HgbA) responsible for the glutamic acid to valine substitution. It affects the […]
Arjama Roy, Amity University Kolkata. Periodontitis is generally termed as gum disease. It is a chronic inflammatory disease that damages gums and might destroy the jawbone. This can result in extensive tooth loss in severe cases and can impact the systemic well-being of the person. Earlier, it had been known that the activation of pro-inflammatory […]
-Priyanka Chakraborty, Amity University Kolkata It was established that stem cells present in hair follicle reside in low oxygen availability and hence uses glucose rather than glutamine metabolism as a source of energy. This shift is perpetually done by Rictor signalling and oxygen concentration. Stem cells can be developed accordingly to prevent Hair loss. Hair […]
-Binayak Das, Team bioXone The medicinal worth of saffron (C. sativus L) has been widely acknowledged in the preparation of herbal-based medicine, over many years. Modern-day science has successfully found out that some of its key components, namely crocin, crocetin, safranal, and picrocin, are responsible for imparting it, its curative nature. The spice has been […]
