Soumya Shraddhya Paul, Amity University, Noida The SAGA complex, which includes the histone acetyltransferase GCN5 and serves as a general transcription co-activator in global gene regulation, is evolutionarily conserved from yeast to humans. In a study conducted by Jun Miao along with other researchers, Plasmodium falciparum has a divergent GCN5 complex that includes two plant […]
Sneha Singhal, Jaypee Institute of information technology, Noida DNA is present in the form of chromatin fibers tightly wrapped around histones in the cell nucleus. Therefore, rendering the large fraction of DNA surface inaccessible for protein binding. For this problem, several studies began to uncover the various strategies used by DNA-binding proteins. Scientists proposed that […]
Madhavi Bhatia, NIPER Guwahati The body axis helps in the development of correct positioning of the anatomical structure in animals. The body axis patterning is based on concentration-dependent interpretation of graded morphogen signals like Wnt/β-catenin signaling.β-catenin signaling directs gastrulation and patterns the main body axis. In an embryo, the positioning of all anatomical structures is […]
Husna, Amity University Kolkata Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER) is a repair pathway of the genomic DNA. The genomic DNA can be damaged due to a variety of endogenous and environmental mutagens such as exposure of the skin cells to UV radiations from the sun. Such DNA damage can be repaired by the nucleotide excision repair […]
Koustav Maiti, Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Centenary College, Rahara Many and different types of pathogens are found in the world that can infect and cause severe diseases in plants. This kind of infection or disease can reduce crop yields in the plants. The pathogens discharge effector proteins into plant cells during the infection. Some effector proteins […]
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 […]
Shrayana Ghosh, Amity University Kolkata The team at Johns Hopkins concentrated on eye support cells for the analysis. The cells known as the Müller Glia in zebrafish is known to repair and respond to the light-sensitive retina by developing new cells in the central nervous system. Besides the regrowth of eye tissue, the regenerative abilities […]
