Peritoneal colonization of ovarian cancer
The primary cause of mortality associated with cancer is metastasis, i.e., the spread of transformed cells from the site of oncogenesis to secondary loci within the body. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a debilitating ... -
Peroxisomal Targeting Of Pichia Pastoris Cytochrome C During Methanol And Fatty Acid Metabolism
(2011-03-08)Intracellular protein sorting plays a key role in the regulation of cellular metabolism, gene expression, signal transduction and a number of other cellular processes. Proteins targeted to specific cellular compartments ... -
Pharmacological Modulation Of Recombinant Human Two-Pore Domain K+ Channels : Whole-Cell patch-Clamp Analysis
(2011-10-21)Background potassium currents play an important role in the regulation of the resting membrane potential and excitability of mammalian neurons. Recently cloned two- pore domain potassium channels (K2p) are believed to ... -
The Phenomenon Of Blastocyst Hatching : Role Of COX-2 And NF-kB
(2014-12-01)The zona-pellucida (zona, ZP) is an adhesion-refractory, acellular coat enclosing the rapidly growing, free-living mammalian preimplantation embryo which undergoes successive cleavage divisions to form the blastocyst, ... -
Phosphoprotein P of rinderpest virus : Its role in the virus life cycle
Phosphoprotein P of Rinderpest Virus: A Key Player in the Virus Life Cycle Introduction Negative-strand RNA viruses (NNSVs) are enveloped viruses infecting hosts across the animal and plant kingdoms. They exhibit diverse ... -
A Phylogenetic Perspective on The Phytogeography of Western Ghats
I used a finer scale data of 156 published plots across the entire latitudinal range of WG, covering most of the protected forests. The pruned phylogeny for this study consisted of 367 species, of which ~ 50% are taxa endemic ... -
Phylogeny And Biogeography Of Hemidactylus Oken, 1817 Geckos Of The Indian Subcontinent
(2013-02-25)Geckos of the genus Hemidactylus Oken, 1817 are one of the most widely distributed and species-rich groups of gekkonids. With approximately 90 species, the genus Hemidactylus accounts for 10% of the total number of species ... -
Physico-chemical and theoretical studies on polypeptide conformations
One of the important secondary structures in globular and fibrous proteins is the ?-structure, originally proposed by Linus Pauling in the early fifties. The understanding of the ?-structure is, however, hampered by ... -
Physico-chemical studies on hen's egg yolk lipovitellins and very low density lipoprotiens
The work described in this thesis can be broadly classified into two major sections namely, (1) Chemical studies, which describes the preparation of lipovitellins, fractionation of their protein components and comparison ... -
Physiological And Exogenous Means of Regulating DNA Damage Response : Insights into Mechanisms of DNA Repair And Genomic Instability
(2017-09-23)Maintenance of genomic integrity with high fidelity is of prime importance to any organism. An insult which may result in compromised genome integrity is prevented or its consequences are monitored by advanced cellular ... -

Physiological Interactions between Neuronal Active Conductances And Inositol Trisphosphate Receptors in Neurons and Astrocytes
(2018-07-23)Intricate interactions among constituent components are defining hallmarks of biological systems and sculpt physiology across different scales spanning gene networks to behavioural repertoires. Whereas interactions among ... -
Physiological Role of Arr, an ADP-ribosyltransferase in Mycobacterium smegmatis
The studies reported in this thesis address the physiological role of an antibiotic resistance gene arr, followed by establishment of the arr knockout strains (generated during the investigation) for drug testing and ... -
Physiological Role of Folate Dehydrogenase in One Carbon Metabolism of Escherichia Coli
(2018-06-08)Thesis addresses the physiological role of formyl tetrahydrofolate synthetase (Fhs) and bifunctional folate dehydrogenase (FolD) in folate mediated one carbon metabolism in bacteria. Thesis consists of 5 chapters. First ... -
Physiological Significance of Stop Codon Readthrough
Regulation of translation, the process by which ribosomes synthesize proteins from mRNAs, is critical to maintain cellular proteostasis. Dysregulation of translation is implicated in several neurodegenerative, metabolic, ... -
Physiological significance of tRNA sequences and modifications in regulation of the bacterial growth
Transfer RNA or tRNA is one of the vital components of translation machinery where it acts as an adaptor molecule to bring amino acid to the ribosome in response to the genetic code in mRNA. Its key role is to decode the ...
