Urbanisation and Shifting Phenotypes Behavioural, Physiological and Cognitive Strategies of the Indian Rock Agama Psammophilus Dorsalis
(2018-07-09)Humans directly or indirectly cause changes in the environment, and urbanisation is currently one of the most important threats to biodiversity. Urbanisation exposes organisms to novel pressures that are drastically different ... -
Urolithin-A mitigates synaptic dysfunctions associated with epilepsy through VDAC1 inhibition: A novel therapeutic approach
Urolithin-A mitigates synaptic dysfunctions associated with epilepsy through VDAC1 inhibition: A novel therapeutic approach Epilepsies are a group of neurological disorders with a prevalence of 70 million people worldwide ... -
Use of Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells as a Model to Study Primary Microcephaly
The aim of this study was to use human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC) to understand key steps of neuronal differentiation and to model the human brain developmental disorder, primary microcephaly (MCPH). MCPH is a ... -
Use of strategically designed protein-like sequences in structure and function recognition
The advent of high fidelity protein sequencing techniques has led to a considerable wealth of sequence data. However, the number of proteins with information on 3-D structure and functional features available is considerably ... -
Use of sub-family specific residues of protein modules in recognizing sites of functional and structural specialization
Functional and regulatory features of a protein in a living system are determined by several factors such as chemical nature and three-dimensional arrangement of residues in the functional site, spatial and temporal ... -
Venomics of Medically Important yet Neglected Elapid Snakes of India and the Antivenomic Potential of Plant Extracts
India is considered the world's snakebite capital, where over 58,000 snakebite fatalities are registered annually. Most bites are primarily attributed to four snake species: the spectacled cobra (Naja naja), common krait ... -
Virus-Inducible Gene Expression Changes In Mouse Brain : Studies With Japanese Encephalitis & Rabies Viruses
(2009-04-16)One of the key events in a virus-infected host cell is the activation and repression of a large number of host genes. In recent years, such differentially expressed host genes have been identified for several viruses, ... -
Wnt/β-Catenin-dependent Epigenetic Factors Shape Host Immune Responses During Mycobacterial Infection
The genus mycobacterium has more than 120 species of bacteria; one being M. tuberculosis (Mtb), the etiological agent of tuberculosis (TB). During infection, the host mounts a heightened immune response to contain the ... -
