Investigating the role of DUSP14 and Rab7A in endo-lysosomal trafficking in mammalian cells Eukaryotic cells maintain homeostasis and interact with their environment through intricate metabolic processes, including the ...

γ-Hemolysin (γ-HL) is a quintessential bicomponent β-pore forming toxin (β-PFT) belonging to the arsenal of “superbug” Staphylococcus aureus. Here, we performed negative staining-TEM and single particle cryo-EM-based ...

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), a pathogenic bacterium, thrives and proliferates inside host macrophages, encountering a high level of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen intermediates which is generated by the ...

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacterium. It infects a broad range of hosts, causing symptoms such as gastroenteritis, abdominal pain, inflammatory diarrhoea ...

Plasmodium sp. is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite causing malaria and is responsible for more than 500,000 human deaths annually. P. falciparum and P. vivax are the two major species causing malaria in humans. ...

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in India and worldwide. It is a highly heterogeneous disease caused by several genetic and epigenetic alterations in mammary epithelial cells. Both inter- and intra-patient ...

Substrate interrogation of the CRISPR-Cas12a endonuclease reveals an unexpected functional plasticity Currently, Cas9 and Cas12a (also known as Cpf1) are the sole members of a large family of RNA-guided nucleases that ...

Skeletal muscle is one of the essential organs in our body, responsible for various functions such as locomotion, transport, protein storage, and thermoregulation. Under certain pathological conditions, there is a reduction ...

In this study, we have functionally characterized the roles of SEZ6, a GSC-specific protein, and FMOD, a DGC-specific protein, in inducing tumor angiogenesis. Angiogenesis being a crucial requirement for both tumor initiation ...

Toxin-Antitoxin (TA) systems are stress response systems found on plasmids and chromosomes of bacteria and archaea. They are involved in important functions such as plasmid maintenance, programmed cell death, persister ...
