Role of autophagy in reducing peripheral neuropathy and diabetic peripheral neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when there is damage to the central or peripheral nervous system due to injury, disease, diabetes, or drug use. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress is a distinct feature observed in neuropathic ...
Understanding the role of Cysteine desulfurases in Mycobacterium tuberculosis physiology and pathogenesis
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) persistence inside the human host relies on successful adaptation to host-induced stresses such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), reactive nitrogen species (RNS), iron starvation, low ...
Molecular Actions Of Arecoline, An Alkaloid Implicated In The Manifestation Of Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSMF)
(2010-07-21)
The pathogenesis of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) is due to a complex interplay between the production and degradation of extracellular matrix (ECM) protein components. In tissue fibrosis, there is a net accumulation of ...
Etiopathology Of Oral Submucous Fibrosis : Role Of Areca Nut Constituents And Transforming Growth Factor-β Signalling
(2015-08-19)
Oral Submucous Fibrosis (OSF) is a chronic inflammatory disease resulting in progressive fibrosis of the oral tissues that can cause difficulty in chewing, swallowing, speaking, and mouth opening. Epidemiological studies ...
The Nse1p RING domain is required for maintaining transcriptional silencing and genomic organization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Chromatin is a dynamic structure that reorganizes to support proper transcription, replication, repair, and segregation. Principal chromosomal constituents that shape chromosomes are the SMC (Structural Maintenance of ...
Conformational Heterogeneity, Solution Structure and Autoregulatory Roles of the MazE9 Antitoxin from Mycobacterium tuberculosis
The work presented in this thesis endeavors to decode the details of the dynamics of MazE9 antitoxin of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis MazEF9 toxin-antitoxin system and the transcriptional autoregulation effected by it. ...
Understanding the interaction mechanism of bacterial virulence factors and effector proteins with host lipid membrane using single particle cryo-electron microscopy
Pathogenic bacteria employ an array of biological macromolecules and cellular
structures that help in the initiation and progression of disease in host organism.
These ‘virulence factors’ can either be secreted by the ...
Role of Sirtuin 2 in the development of tissue fibrosis
Wound healing is a crucial physiological process required for the healthy lifespan of an
organism. Dysregulation in the process of wound healing leads to the production of excess
extracellular matrix leading to fibrosis. ...
Decoding of Attention and Behavioral State Using Local Field Potentials
Visual attention has been shown to modulate perceptual behavior and neuronal activity. Early psychophysical studies on attention showed that the subjects detected a target presented at the attended location better (i.e., ...
