Initiation of protein synthesis : Role of the three consecutive GC base pairs in the anticodon stem of initiator tRNAs
The presence of the three consecutive GC base pairs in the anticodon stems of the initiator tRNAs (3GC base pairs) are a highly conserved and a vital feature of the initiator tRNAs in all the domains of life. How this ... -
Innovative Optimal Guidance of Spacecrafts for Soft-Landing on Atmosphere-less Celestial Bodies
Nonlinear trajectory optimization based optimal guidance schemes are presented in this thesis for soft-landing of spacecrafts on atmosphere-less celestial bodies. First, a pseudo-spectral philosophy based multi-phase ... -
Insight into luteolytic effects of repeated administration of LH in pregnant rats: Analysis of cAMP/PKA pathway during LH-induced luteolysis
The Corpus luteum (CL) is a dynamic endocrine structure that develops in the ovary from the remnants of the ovulated follicle and plays a critical role in the control of estrous/menstrual cycle as well as in establishment ... -
Insights into an Evolutionary Radiation : Causes And Consequences of Diversification in the Western Ghats Bush Frogs
(2017-10-26)One of the biggest attractions of the tropics is its stunning diversity; the origin and determinants of this diversity are amongst the most important questions in evolution and biogeography. There are two ways of looking ... -
Insights Into Cytostatic Mechanisms Regulated By Receptor Guanylyl Cyclase C
(2016-11-16)All cells are equipped to sense changes in their environment and make adaptive responses according to the stimuli. Signal recognition usually occurs at the cell membrane (with the exception of steroid signalling) where the ... -
Insights into Differentiation of Mouse Pluripotent Stem Cells to Neural Lineage
(2017-12-10)Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs: ESCs and iPSCs) provide an excellent model system for studying neural development and function. These cells also serve as a reliable source of cell replacement for the treatment of various ... -
Insights into Differentiation of Pluripotent Stem Cells to Cardiac Progenitors and Cardiomyocytes
The mammalian heart is the first organ formed during development. It forms the crux of the circulatory system of the body and pumps blood (and therefore, nutrients) to all parts of the body. The continuous functioning of ... -
