Astrocytes regulate oligodendrocyte development and myelination in the mammalian brain
Oligodendrocytes (OLs), a type of glial cell, are the main myelinating cells of the mammalian central nervous system (CNS), enabling efficient saltatory mode of nerve conduction. On the other hand, astrocytes, another glial ... -
Insights into Differentiation of Pluripotent Stem Cells to Cardiac Progenitors and Cardiomyocytes
The mammalian heart is the first organ formed during development. It forms the crux of the circulatory system of the body and pumps blood (and therefore, nutrients) to all parts of the body. The continuous functioning of ... -
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 ... -
Regulation of Hepatitis C Virus life-cycle by lncRNA HULC: crosstalk with other host factors
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a positive sense single-stranded RNA virus. It belongs to the family Flaviviridae and the genus hepacivirus. Following the receptor-mediated endocytosis, HCV genome is released into the cytoplasm, ... -
ROLE OF SIRT6 AND PARP-1 IN MUSCLE HOMEOSTASIS
Sirtuins and PARPs are stress responsive family of proteins regulating genome instability, inflammation, aging-related diseases and energy metabolism. Both sirtuins and PARPs are NAD+ enzymes with deacetylase and ADP-ribose ...
