Computational Mechanisms Underlying the Voluntary Control of Reach Movement Planning and Execution
In everyday life we make a variety of reaching movements. Most of these reaching movements have a clear objective of bringing the hand to the spatial location of the object of interest. Although we typically do not explicitly ...
Maternal Immune Activation Perturbs Gene Expression in the Embryonic Brain Leading to Autism Spectrum Disorders
Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) constitutes a spectrum of developmental disorders that share common phenotypes of social and communication deficits and repetitive behaviours. ASDs have many possible underlying causes ...
Investigating the Novel Roles of miR-9a and the Regulators of Mitochondrial Dynamics During the Development and Functioning of Indirect Flight Muscles in Drosophila melanogaster
The muscular system is a highly complex and important system in the body. Proper muscle physiology is critical for locomotion, digestion, circulation, reproduction as well as for metabolic and immune homeostasis. Defects ...
Investigating the role of taxi gene in flight behavior of Drosophila melanogaster
Locomotion is essential for animals and it is regulated by crosstalk between neurons
and muscles. Although defects in the crosstalk between neurons and muscles are
implicated in many mobility related diseases in human, ...
Proteomics-based Identification of Serum Biomarkers : Role of Secreted MCSF and CRP in Glioma Pathogenesis
Gliomas are the neoplasia of glial cells present in the brain and comprises of
more than 70% of all the neoplasms of the central nervous system. They consist of
a family of primary brain tumors that are categorized based ...
Computational Investigation of Heterogeneous Lateral Organisation in Biological Membrane
The study of lateral heterogeneity on membrane surface has come a long way from the fluid
mosaic model. Simulations and experimental studies have observed non-random mixing of
lipids and proteins in the membrane. In this ...
Structural and functional studies on DNA damage inducible protein 1 (Ddi1) from protozoa
Structural and functional investigations on DNA-damage inducible protein1 (Ddi1) from Entamoeba histolytica, Trypanosoma cruzi and Toxoplasma gondii have been carried out. Ddi1 belongs to the ubiquitin receptor family of ...
Design, Synthesis, and Bioactivity of Thioamidated Macrocyclic Peptides
The work presented in this thesis describes the comprehensive study related to thioamidated macrocyclic peptides. We study the underexplored class of peptide bond isostere; thioamides in the context of small macrocyclic ...
Functional Characterization of CG9650 in development of the Indirect Flight Muscles of Drosophila melanogaster
Muscle development is a complex and multifactorial process involving assembly of thousands of proteins in a precise and synchronized manner over the course of development of an organism. Multiple genes and signalling ...
Understanding the Mechanism of Double-strand Break Repair and Genome Fragility in Mammalian Mitochondria
Mitochondria are semiautonomous organelles in a cell as they have their own
genome that replicates independently. It plays a major role in oxidative phosphorylation due
to which mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is frequently ...
