Investigating Partners of OsMADS1 Transcription Factor and functions for some associated factors for roles in rice inflorescence and floral development
Title: Investigating Partners of OsMADS1 Transcription Factor and functions for some associated factors for roles in rice inflorescence and floral development The classic ABCDE model for floral organ identity show that ... -
Investigating Pattern Recognition And Bi-coordinate Sound Localization in the Tree Cricket Species Oecanthus Henryi
(2017-09-20)Acoustic communication, used by a wide variety of animals, consists of the signaler, the signal and the receiver. A change in the behaviour of the receiver after reception of the signal is a prerequisite for communication. ... -
Investigating the Impact of Habitat Disturbance and the Role of Functional Traits in a Tropical Butterfly Assemblage
(2018-07-09)Tropical habitats face a diverse range of anthropogenic threats. Two common and important threats to tropical biodiversity are invasive species and roads. Invasive plants are proposed to be a major threat to biodiversity ... -
Investigating the maintenance of X- chromosome inactivation in extra-embryonic endoderm and epiblast stem cells
In eutherian female mammals, one of the X-chromosomes gets inactivated to compensate for the expression dosage of X-linked genes between the sexes. X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) serves as a paradigm of epigenetic memory ... -
Investigating the mechanisms of cancer drug resistance
Clinical chemo-resistance has posed a challenge to scientists and clinicians since the development of chemotherapeutics as anticancer strategy. Mechanisms of drug resistance continue to be a subject investigation amongst ... -
Investigating the neural basis of spatial attentional components with probabilistic and reward cueing
We are constantly inundated with an abundance of sensory information. “Attention” enables the selection of relevant information and filtering out irrelevant information, to guide adaptive behavior. While attention can be ... -
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 redox signaling mechanisms during HIV-TB co-infection
Oxidative stress has been at the forefront of HIV/AIDS-related pathophysiologies since the early days of its discovery. Overcoming HIV-1 latency, wherein, the virus remains integrated in the host chromatin, undetected and ... -
Investigating the role and regulation of Polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTB) in isoform switching during muscle development in Drosophila melanogaster
Muscles are an excellent system to dissect the development, physiology and evolution of cell heterogeneity and isoform switching. The vertebrate skeletal muscles are composed of heterogeneous muscle fibres. These fibres ... -
Investigating the role of AMPK in mammary gland alveologenesis and lactation
AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) is an energy sensor that regulates cell growth and metabolism. Reports from our laboratory and others have shown the context-specific role of AMPK signaling in breast cancer. However, its role ... -
Investigating the role of an atypical dual-specificity phosphatase DUSP28 in mammalian cells
Dual-specificity phosphatases (DUSPs) belong to the protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTP) subfamily and dephosphorylate, both serine/threonine and tyrosine residues of proteins and non-protein substrates. A subgroup of ... -
Investigating the role of miR-198 in oral squamous cell carcinoma pathogenesis
Evidence supports the critical role of microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation in several diseases including cancers. The aberrant expression of numerous tumor suppressor and oncogenic miRNAs is a well-established driving factor ... -
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, ... -
Investigation of anticancer compounds in the natural productome of marine algae associated-endophytic fungi
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Owing to the complex ways in which this disease develops, there is a constant demand for new drugs. Natural products have delivered great promise in inspiring ... -
Investigation of RAG1 in lymphoid and brain cells: Understanding mechanism and regulation
In summary, we show that RAG1 expression is regulated through a novel miRNA (miR- 29c) mediated mechanism and establish that as an additional mode of RAG1 regulation. Studies described in the thesis reveal that among the ... -
Investigation of the stress-induced translatome of matrix-deprived cancer cells
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide, in spite of all the ongoing research in the field of oncology. While there have been some breakthroughs in the past 50 years, metastatic tumors remain the bane ... -
Investigations on the enzyme transfructosidase and the structure of the fructosan Crinum Longifolium
Abstract not available -
Investigations on the invasiveness of chemo-resistant epithelial ovarian cancer
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a debilitating gynecological malignancy wherein patients frequently develop resistance to the first-line chemotherapeutic drugs carboplatin and docetaxel, resulting in poor survival rates. ... -
Investigations on the Possible Role of Aromatic β-Glucoside Metabolism in Self-Defense in Enterobacteriaceae
(2018-04-02)Bacteria are ubiquitous in all ecosystems and are often challenged by multiple stresses such as extreme temperatures, high salt concentrations, nutrient limitation, pH variations, radiation, predation and the presence of ...
