Risks of finding mates in the wild: Ecological and Behavioural Determinants of Sex-biased Predation
Sex-biased predation occurs when one sex of a prey species is consumed more than the other, irrespective of their relative availability (sex-ratio). Some of the potential factors leading to sex- biased predation are sex ... -
Robustness of Neural Activity Dynamics in the Medial Entorhinal Cortex
Biological systems exhibit considerable heterogeneity in their constitutive components and encounter stochasticity across all scales of analysis. Therefore, central questions that span all biological systems are: (a) How ... -
A role for the cohesin complex in subtelomeric gene silencing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Chromatin is a dynamic structure which reorganizes to support numerous chromosomal processes. Various histone and non-histone proteins are involved in chromatin organization. One such group of non-histone proteins, known ... -
Role of 3D-organization of the X-inactivation centre in imprinted X-chromosome inactivation
The connection between 3D-genome organization and genome regulation is one of the fundamental questions in modern biology. In a nucleus, the genome is organized through different layers of 3D-organization such as ... -
Role of Activin A Signaling in Breast Cancer
(2017-11-22)Activin-A is a member of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) superfamily of cytokines which includes TGF-βs, Activins, Nodal, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), growth and differentiation factors (GDFs) and anti-Mullerian ... -
Role of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase in Cancer Cell Survival under Matrix-Deprived Conditions
(2018-07-19)Cancer progression is a multi-step process requiring cells to acquire specific properties that aid the neoplastic growth. One such property is the ability to survive in the absence of matrix-attachment, a critical necessity ... -
Role of an RNA Polymerase Interacting Protein, MsRbpA, from Mycobacterium smegmatis in Phenotypic Tolerance to Rifampicin
Rifampicin is a non-competitive inhibitor of bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP). The knowledge about the mechanism of action of this drug has emanated from the genetic and the biochemical studies carried out on Escherichia ... -
Role of Areca Nut Mediated Epithelial-Mesenchymal Interaction and Involvement of JNK/ATF2/Jun/TGF-beta axis in Oral Submucous Fibrosis Etiopathology
(2018-01-04)Oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) is a debilitating irreversible fibrotic condition of the oral cavity. It is characterized by inflammation and ultimately results in trismus. Patients face difficulty in speaking, swallowing ... -
Role of autophagy in reducing peripheral neuropathy and diabetic peripheral neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when there is damage to the central or peripheral nervous system due to injury, disease, diabetes, or drug use. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a distinct feature observed in neuropathic ... -
Role of calcium sensors in differential alignment of synaptic nanomachinery during neurotransmission
Some of the brain's most remarkable feats such as learning and memory, are thought to emerge from elementary properties of chemical synapses. The distinctive feature of these synapses is that the action potential in the ... -
Role of CG9650 in Neuronal Development And Function of Drosophila Melanogaster
(2017-10-05)The nervous system is the most complex system in an organism. Functioning of the nervous system requires proper formation of neural cells, as well as accurate connectivity and signaling among them. While the major events ... -
Role of Chemokine Receptor, CXCR4 Mediated Signaling in Cellular Senescence
(2017-10-05)Cellular senescence has been proposed to be equivalent to organismal aging and is one of the outcomes of the cell fate decision process in response to DNA damage that occurs in cells. When a cell encounters DNA damage, the ... -
Role of conserved features of initiator tRNA and ribosome heterogeneity in translation initiation in Escherichia coli
Translation is one of the fundamental and core cellular processes catalysed by a ribonucleoprotein complex called ribosome. The process involves four major steps: initiation, elongation, termination and recycling. Initiation ... -
The Role of Cytoskeletal Morphology in the Nanoorganization of Synapse
(2018-01-10)Synapse is the fundamental unit of synaptic transmission. Learning, memory and neurodegenerative diseases of the brain are attributed to the maintenance and alteration in synaptic connections. The efficiency for synaptic ... -
Role of DNA Methylation in Glioblastoma Development
(2018-04-11)Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and malignant of the glial tumors. These tumors may develop from lower-grade astrocytomas (diffuse astrocytoma; grade II or anaplastic astrocytoma; grade III) through a progressive ... -
The Role of DNA Structural Features of Eukaryotic Promoter Sequences in Transcription Regulation
(2018-09-04)Understanding the molecular structure of DNA was considered as greatest achievement in modern biology. It helped in understanding fundamental cellular processes such as replication of DNA, nature of the ...
