Anannya Roy, Amity University Kolkata Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease that torments mankind, caused by the parasite plasmodium. Researchers at Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical research have understood how the body’s natural immunity can be manipulated to prevent malaria, bringing us one step closer to new potential therapy. The causative organism of this […]
Husna, Amity University Kolkata Oncolytic viruses are genetically engineered for the destruction of cancer or tumour-causing cells specifically. They’re delivered for treatment inside the body via intravenous injection. In 2015, one such oncolytic virus was approved by the FDA for treating skin cancer, melanoma. A major obstacle in the application of oncolytic adenoviruses is that […]
Camelia Bhattacharyya, Amity University Kolkata Breast cancer, a term which scares most women, a type of cancer which changes the life of a patient even those who are survivors, is a much-studied and researched topic around the globe. The early symptoms might include the appearance of a lump at any portion of the breast, blood […]
Jayateerth S. Bhavikatti, CSIR-National Chemical Laboratory, Pune, India There have been so many things discovered till date in this universe, nevertheless, there are too many discoveries to happen. Cheers to the discoverers! They spend their life helping people. Here is one such discovery. So far, three pairs of salivary glands were studied in humans. Researches […]
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 […]
Saptaparna Pal, Amity University Kolkata Nano sealed motor particles represents a group of efficient molecules that can precisely respond to the biological microenvironment and improves therapeutic results. Hence, a 2D nanosheet based catalytic nanometre with chemotaxis behaviour is designed for enhanced and advanced drug delivery towards the Tumor microenvironment. The 2D structure of nanometre allows […]
Sampriti Roy, Asutosh College (University of Calcutta) When speaking of cell mechanisms, there are still a large number of the same that remain largely unknown. From understanding viral pathogenesis to antiviral therapeutics development – the identification of viral mechanisms and understanding how the virus defends itself is crucial. This is the case particularly for those […]
