Glycobiological Regulation of Breast Cancer Invasion
Invasiveness of cancer is the predominant reason behind mortality associated with the disease. Although long under active investigation, fundamental aspects of the early steps of cancer invasion and metastasis are still ... -
Glycodelin A : A Novel Immunoregulatory Lectin Of The Female Reproductive Tract : Molecular Mechanism Of GdA-Induced Apoptosis In Activated T Cells
(2010-08-06)Glycodelin is a 162 amino acid secreted glycoprotein classified as a member of the lipocalin (carriers of small hydrophobic molecules) superfamily based on the presence of lipocalin signature motifs in its primary sequence. ... -
Glycodelin A : An apoptogenic lipocalin:Molecular mechanism of immunosuppression by Glycodelin A
Glycodelin (previously known as placental protein 14, progestagen-associated endometrial protein, pregnancy-associated secreted endometrial ?2-globulin, etc.) is a 162 amino acid, glycosylated protein secreted mainly by ... -
Glycodelin-A As The Regulator Of CD8+ T-Lymphocyte Activity : Implications In Primate Pregnancy
(2015-01-02)The ability of our immune system to mount a response against non-self-antigens legitimates the semi-allogenic fetus as a target for maternal immune attack. Yet, in a normal pregnancy the fetus stays well protected due to ... -
gp120 Immunogen Design And Characterization
(2011-10-21)HIV-1 is the causative agent for AIDS and has been a major focus of research for the past two decades. Though there is a combination therapy in place known as the “Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy” (HAART), its ... -
Ground-dwelling arthropods across human land use: Interpreting the spatial and temporal dimensions of beta diversity
This study investigates beta diversity and its partitions to quantify the influence of different processes that drive spatial and temporal variation in ground-dwelling arthropod assemblages. First, ant assemblages across ... -
Guanylyl cyclase C receptor : Regulation by protein kinase C
Guanylyl cyclases are enzymes that catalyze the conversion of magnesium-bound GTP to cGMP. Cyclic GMP then acts as a second messenger to a variety of exogenous and endogenous ligands. Guanylyl cyclases are of two types: ... -
Guanylyl Cyclase C Regulation And Pathophysiology
(2015-02-26)The survival of the any living organism depends on its availability to communicate, and a breakdown of cellular signaling can have dire consequences such as uncontrolled cellular proliferations or even cell death. Environmental ... -
Gyrase and its associated proteins
During transcription, the movement of RNA polymerase generates increasing torsional strain in the template DNA, resulting in positive supercoils ahead of the enzyme and negative supercoils behind it. Efficient progression ... -
H2A, H2B and H4 histone genes of rice embroys
A knowledge of the organization of histone genes in plants is a prerequisite for a greater insight into the regulation of their gene expression during germination. With the idea of obtaining much-needed information on the ... -
Habitat Acoustics And Microhabitat Selection In An Ensiferan Assemblage Of A Tropical Evergreen Forest │
(2013-08-29)Several animals, both vertebrate and invertebrate, communicate using sound and they do so in a non-ideal medium, the habitat in which they live. As acoustic signals pass through the habitat, they suffer loss of information ... -
Heat Shock Protein 70 Of Plasmodium Falciparum: Proteomic Analysis Of Its Complexes And Cellular Functions
(Indian Institute Of Science, 2004-10)Hest shock protein 70 (Hsp70) class of chaperones is highly conserved and present ubiquitously in all cellular organisms They play important role in folding of nascent polypeptides and translocation of precursor proteins ... -
Helicobacter Pylori Restriction-Modification Systems : Possible Roles Beyond Genome Protection
(2013-06-06)Helicobacter pylori is one of the most potential and successful human pathogen which colonizes atleast 50% of world population. One of the important characteristics of this pathogen is the degree of allelic diversity and ... -
Heterogeneous host-pathogen interactions contribute to antibiotic tolerance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Eradication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) requires strategies targeting bacteria inside the host. Mtb exhibits heterogeneity in redox metabolism inside macrophages to evade killing by anti-TB drugs. If and how ... -
HIV-1 and SARS-CoV-2 immunogen design
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV-1) is the aetiologic agent of AIDS. Presently there are ~38 million HIV-1 infected individuals worldwide and ~1 million deaths in 2019. Since its discovery, the quest for vaccine candidate ...
