The Influence of Glycerol and Specific Genes on the Asymmetric Cell Division in Mycobacteria Submitted by Atul Pradhan (S.R. No. 03-04-00-10-11-14-1-11678) Background Information: Mycobacteria maintain heterogeneity in ...

In mixed-species bird flocks (flocks hereafter), participants vary in their degree of similarity with each other. Flock participants can gain group size (supplementary) benefits by choosing similar flock partners, or ...

The spectacular diversity in the pair-formation strategies among animal groups has attracted the attention of many over the years. The roots of this diversity lie in the diversity of challenges that males and females face ...

Immune response to pathogens is energetically expensive to the host. In this study, we show that Caenorhabditis elegans exposed for 8 hours to pathogenic Gram-positive bacteria, Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus ...

Predators make various foraging decisions at different spatial and temporal scales. Such decisions can be studied at two levels: patch decisions at the landscape level, and prey decisions at the foraging patch level. In ...

Axon growth and extension are dependent on the interaction of neurons with extracellular matrix (ECM). The interaction between cells and ECM is known as focal adhesion (FA). Vinculin is one the major proteins of FA complex ...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus type 1 (HIV-1) is the etiological agent of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). AIDS is a global pandemic with 36.7 million people living with HIV-1 all over the world and approximately ...

Eukaryotic cellular pathways are maintained and coordinated through biomolecule turnover, which includes synthesis, trafficking, degradation of cellular components and their reutilization. The process of biomolecule ...

Mycobacterial populations have evolved various strategies to withstand diverse stress conditions in the environment. One among these strategies is maintenance of phenotypic heterogeneity, in terms of cell morphology, ...

Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) is a key player in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Despite intuitive insights into differential proteolysis of APP, there is a little understanding of how the amyloidogenic machinery is distributed ...
