Biomechanical and biochemical regulation by the extracellular matrix of breast cancer migration
Although under active investigation, alterations within the microenvironment that are causative to, and a consequence of, tumor progression are only beginning to be better appreciated through advances in imaging, experimental, ... -
Biophysical Studies on Mycobacterium Tuberculosis σ Factor – Regulatory Protein Complexes
Adaptation to external environmental conditions is essential for the survival of a bacterial cell. Bacteria have thus evolved multiple mechanisms to sense environmental stimuli and to couple this information into an ... -
Biophysical Studies On The Plastic And Cooperative Properties Of Single Voltage Gated Na+ And Leak K+ Ion Channels
(2011-03-08)Ion channels are fundamental molecules in the nervous system that catalyze the flux of ions across the cell membrane. There are mounting evidences suggesting that the kinetic properties of ion channels undergo activity-dependent ... -
Biosynthesis of carbohydrates by enzymes from aspergillus flavus, liver and green gram
A number of solvents and solvent combinations, and the use of multiple development techniques for efficient separation on filter paper, are described. A series of colour reagents useful for the identification of specific ... -
Bone Morphogenesis Protein (BMP) Signaling at the Cross-roads of Host-Pathogen Interactions : Implications for Pathogenesis
(2018-06-13)Study of cell signalling pathways affected by pathogen entry comprises a fundamental aspect of understanding host-pathogen interactions. In this respect, the current study attempted to ascribe novel roles to Bone Morphogenesis ... -
Breast Cancer Susceptibility Gene 1 (BRCA1) And Breast Cancer
(2009-04-15)Breast Cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) & Breast Cancer Breast cancer is one of the most common malignancies affecting women worldwide. About 5-10% of all cases are estimated to be familial. Mutations in the BRCA1 ... -
Call Diversity, Spatio-Temporal Patterning And Masking Interference In An Assemblage Of Acoustically Communicating Ensiferan Species Of A Tropical Evergreen Forest In Southern India
(2011-02-21)The present study provides the first description of the calls of a multi-species ensiferan assemblage in a tropical evergreen forest of the Indian subcontinent. I have identified and described the calls of twenty ensiferan ... -
Carbon Starvation Genes Mediate the Cross-talk Between Metabolism and Pathogenesis of Salmonella Typhimurium
Carbon starvation genes mediate the cross-talk between metabolism and pathogenesis of Salmonella Typhimurium Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) can infect a wide range of host animals to cause diseases ... -
Causes and Consequences of Hetrospecific Foraging Associations in Terrestrial Bird Communities
(2018-04-12)The question of group-living in animals has attracted a lot of research attention. Today, we have a nuanced understanding of ultimate explanations and proximate mechanisms for group-living, as well as the genetic basis for ... -
CcdB : Stability, folding and application to design novel antibacterials
The primary amino acid sequence typically dictates the ultimate conformation of the protein. Mutations in the sequence demonstrate neutral, positive or negative effects on the structure-function relationship of the protein. ... -
Cell Surface Of Mycobacterium Smegmatis At The Stationary Phase : Regulation Of Gene Expression
(2009-05-21)Tuberculosis remains one of the oldest diseases known to mankind but still persists as a very major risk. Discovery of several antimycobacterials was marked by a steady decline in the active cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. ... -
Cell Survival Strategies : Role Of Gyrase Modulatory Proteins
(2010-07-21)A steady state level of negative supercoiling is essential for chromosome condensation, initiation of replication and subsequent elongation step. DNA gyrase, found in every eubacteria, serves the essential housekeeping ... -
Cellular and Molecular Features of the Response of Mycobacterium smegmatis to Rifampicin and Moxifloxacin Upon Prolonged Exposure
Bacterial persisters are a subpopulation of bacteria that can tolerate lethal concentrations of antibiotics. These are phenotypic variants that can give rise to drug‐susceptible population upon withdrawal of the antibiotic. ... -
Characterisation Of DNA Llgase And Pairing Activities From A Partially Purified Fraction From Rat Testis
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-06)Homologous genetic recombination is a central feature of meiosis in most sexually dividing organism. It leads to the establishment of new linkage relationships between genes and is crucial for the successful completion of ... -
Characterisation of Monoclonal Antibodies and Small Molecule Inhibitors as Hepatitis C Virus Entry Inhibitors
(2017-12-15)Hepatitis C virus (HCV) represents a global health threat. HCV is a blood-borne positive-strand RNA virus belonging to the Flaviviridae family that infects ~160 million people worldwide. About 70% of infected individuals ... -
Characterization of a Staphylococcus aureus multi-enzyme complex involved in the phenotypic switch and host-pathogen interactions
RNA homeostasis is maintained by synchronizing RNA synthesis and RNA degradation. These processes are synchronized to growth conditions and environmental stimuli, thus enabling bacterial survival in diverse environmental ... -
