Elucidating Deregulated Novel Pathways in Glioma through Genetic and Epigenetic Approaches
Malignancy of glial cells is termed as glioma. Gliomas comprise of thirty percent of all tumors of the central nervous system (CNS) and eighty percent of malignant brain tumors (Goodenberger and Jenkins, 2012). Astrocytoma, ... -
Elucidating the Roles of Lon Protease and its Substrate, MarA, in Response to salicylate and other Compounds in Escherichia coli
(2017-11-28)Cytosolic protein degradation is crucial for cellular homeostasis as it orchestrates protein turnover by destruction of misfolded, unstable and abnormal proteins. This process has two main stages: (i) an ATP-dependent stage ... -
The Elucidation of the Mechanism of Meiotic Chromosome Synapsis in Saccharomyces Cerevisiae : Insights into the Function of Synaptonemal Complex, Hop1 and Red1, Proteins and the Significance of DNA Quadruplex Structures
(2017-12-03)Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division where two rounds of chromosome segregation follow a single round of DNA duplication resulting in the formation of four haploid daughter cells. Once the DNA replication is ... -
EMI Shielding Materials Derived from PC/SAN Blends Containing Engineered Nanoparticles
(2018-07-05)In recent years, increased use of electronic devices and wireless operations resulted in unavoidable electromagnetic (EM) pollution which has a significant impact on civil and military sectors. Considering the foremost ... -

(2017-09-26)The growing incidences of orthopedic problems globally have created a huge demand for strong bioactive materials for bone tissue engineering. Over the years, studies have shown chemical, physical, and mechanical properties ... -
Engineering Plasmonic Interactions in Three Dimensional Nanostructured Systems
(2018-02-08)Strong light matter interactions in metallic nanoparticles (NPs), especially those made of noble metals such as Gold and Silver is at the heart of much ongoing research in nanoplasmonics. Individual NPs can support collective ... -
Engineering the N-Glycosylation Pathway in Pichia Pastoris for the Expression of Glycoprotein Hormones
(2018-01-15)Proteins, participating in a myriad of biological function, are at the core of all cellular activities occurring within living organisms. Therapeutic proteins, hence constitute a major part of the pharmaceutical industry. ... -
Engineering the Properties of Elemental 2D Materials using First-principles Calculations
(2017-12-13)Our vision is as yet unsurpassed by machines because of the sophisticated representations of objects in our brains. This representation is vastly different from a pixel-based representation used in machine storages. It is ... -
Epigenetic Modulators of Glioma : From miRNAs to Chromatin Modifiers
(2018-02-20)The glial cells of the brain and the peripheral nervous system retain the capacity to divide and proliferate throughout the lifespan of an individual and thereby have the propensity to give rise to the most adult neurological ... -
