Deciphering the role of outer membrane porins in the pathogenesis of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium
Porins are highly conserved barrel-shaped proteins bound to the bacterial outer membrane and involved in the selective transport of charged molecules across the membrane. They consist of parallel and anti-parallel β sheets ...
Metabolic Regulation of Gametocytogenesis in Malaria
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. ...
Parietal and prefrontal control of distinct components of attention
In this thesis, we investigate behavioural mechanisms and neural substrates of distinct components of endogenous spatial attention. Endogenous attention facilitates neural processing of the selected stimulus through one ...
Systems biology approach to dissect Salmonella-host interactions
Systems understanding of the biological data is required to capture the complex biochemical information when a pathogen interacts with its host. Such interactions are dynamic and complex, especially because various components ...
Urolithin-A mitigates synaptic dysfunctions associated with epilepsy through VDAC1 inhibition: A novel therapeutic approach
Urolithin-A mitigates synaptic dysfunctions associated with epilepsy through VDAC1 inhibition: A novel therapeutic approach
Epilepsies are a group of neurological disorders with a prevalence of 70 million people worldwide ...
Characterization of XRN2-mediated microRNA turnover mechanism and its pathophysiological significance in eukaryotes
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are endogenous, small non-coding RNAs that are extensively involved in the posttranscriptional regulation of gene expression in eukaryotes. Comprehensive studies on miRNA expression and function have ...
Effect of Stimulus Normalization and Visual Attention at multiple scales of Neural Integration
The effect of visual attention on neural signals has been extensively studied using various techniques such as macaque neurophysiology and human electro/magneto encephalogram (EEG/MEG). Depending on the technique, different ...
Transcriptional regulation of a microRNA encoding gene MIR319C during leaf development in Arabidopsis thaliana
The evolutionarily conserved microRNA miR319 and its target transcription factors encoded by five CIN-TCPs (TCP2, 3, 4, 10 & 24) regulate leaf morphogenesis in Arabidopsis by triggering the division to differentiation ...
Understanding the role of paraspeckle components NEAT1 and PSPC1 in HCV life cycle and pathogenesis
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an enveloped, small, icosahedral, positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus that belongs to the Hepacivirus genus and the Flaviviridae family. HCV causes acute and chronic hepatitis which can range ...
Insights into mRNA recruitment by eukaryotic initiation factor 4 during translation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Ribosomes are responsible for synthesizing proteins in the cells by using mRNA as the template. However, the ribosomes cannot perform this function without the help of other protein factors. Different factors are required ...
