Anti-thrombotic Secondary Metabolites from Endophytic Fungi of Datura Metel and Cassia Fistula
Blood coagulation is a process that occurs normally in an animal during bleeding, to prevent the loss of blood from the body and is assisted by two key players -blood platelets and coagulation factors particularly thrombin. ...
Spatial and Coevolutionary Dynamics of Cooperation
Cooperation is ubiquitous across taxa in the animal kingdom. For example, microbes cooperate in producing antibiotic-resistant biofilms, mammals and birds collectively mob predators, and humans cooperate in utilization of ...
Genetics of Drosophila Indirect Flight Muscles : Unraveling the Roles of Genes Involved in Muscle Development and Function
Myofibrillogenesis is a complex process involving assembly of many structural proteins in an orchestrated spatio-temporal manner to form a highly ordered contractile sarcomeric unit. Mutations in the proteins involved in ...
Delineating the Roles for WNT Signaling During PRRs Driven Inflammatory Responses : Implications for Host-Pathogen Interaction
The mammalian immune system consists of the innate and adaptive arm/s that protect the host against pathogenic infections in a highly coordinated process involving multiple steps. Innate immune cells such as macrophages ...
Functional Insights into the Canonical and Non-canonical Roles of the Fission Yeast Splicing Factor SpPrp16
The spliceosome is a large multi-megadalton RNA-protein machine which facilitates the
removal of introns from eukaryotic nascent pre-mRNAs by two concerted
transesterification reactions. The spliceosome is comprised of ...
Host Location in Non-pollinating Fig Wasps of Ficus Racemosa : Age, Oviposition History and the Ovipositor
The fig–fig wasp system is a brood site pollination system where pollinators breed inside an enclosed globular inflorescence (syconium) that they pollinate. This pollination mutualism is subjected to exploitation by the ...
Exploring the Roles of Phase Variable HpyAII Restriction-modification System in the Human Pathogen Helicobacter pylori
Helicobacter pylori is a Gram-negative microaerophilic bacteria known to infect as much as 80% of some populations with an average morbidity range of around 50% of the world population. It has been recognized as a definitive ...
Understanding the Biology of Heat Shock Protein 90 in Opportunistic Fungal Pathogens
Heat shock protein 90 is one of the most abundant and evolutionary conserved class of molecular chaperones present throughout the biological kingdom. It is a specialist chaperone as its function extends beyond protein ...
Computational and Experimental Approaches to Protein Design
Protein design is a rapidly maturing field, with the goal of designing proteins with customized structures and functions. A large number of protein structures are experimentally determined, which have facilitated an ...
Theta-band Spectral Selectivity and Gamma-range Coincidence Detection in Spike Initiation Dynamics of Hippocampal Pyramidal Neurons
In the pursuit to understand information processing in the brain, a general question that is often posed is: What is the neuron encoding? This is addressed by assessing feature selectivity in sensory neurons, which informs ...
