Virus-Inducible Gene Expression Changes In Mouse Brain : Studies With Japanese Encephalitis & Rabies Viruses
(2009-04-16)
One of the key events in a virus-infected host cell is the activation and repression of a large number of host genes. In recent years, such differentially expressed host genes have been identified for several viruses, ...
Functional Role Of Heat Shock Protein 90 From Plasmodium Falciparum
(2009-03-18)
Molecular chaperones have emerged in recent years as major players in many aspects of cell biology. Molecular chaperones are also known as heat shock proteins (HSPs) since many were originally discovered due to their
increased ...
Studies On The Molecular Mechanism Of Cytokinin Action: Involvement Of Ca2+, Protein Kinase And Concurrent Protein Synthesis In Signaling Of Cytokinin-Induced Expression Of Pathogenesis-Related Enzymes In Cucumber
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-08)
Phytohormones act as signals to regulate plant growth and development by modulation of gene expression in response to internal developmental cues or external environmental stimuli, such as light and pathogen infection. ...
Resource, Use, Culture And Ecological Change: A Case Study Of The Nilgiri Hills Of Southern India
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-09-01)
Over the last two decades, there have been increasing concerns about environmental degradation and its consequences on the long-term sustainability of socio-economic systems around the world. The publication of the report ...
Cloning and Expression of a Diagnostic Antigen for Invasive Amoebiasis
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-04-29)
A crude extract of axenically grown amoebae was used as antigen in order to develop an AB microELISA for the detection and quantitation of E. histolytica-specific IgG antibodies. This ELISA was used to screen individual ...
Functional Differentiation Of The Human Placenta : Insights From The Expression Of Two Developmentally - Regulated Genes
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-12-08)
Placenta is a transient association of the fetal and maternal tissues, that develops during pregnancy, in most viviparous animals. The evolution of placenta ensured the development of the fetus inside the womb of the mother, ...
Social Organisation And Cooperation In Genetically Mixed Colonies Of The Primitively Eusocial Wasp, Ropalidia Marginata
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-08-05)
Altruism in its extreme form is seen in social insects where most individuals give up their own reproduction and work to rear the offspring of their queen. The origin and evolution of such sterile worker castes remains a ...
Colony Founding And The Evolution Of Eusociality In Primitively Eusocial Wasp, Ropalidia Marginata
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-08-08)
Many animals live in societies of varying degrees of organization. Some individuals in these societies seem to sacrifice their own fitness to increase the fitness of some others. Understanding the forces that mould the ...
Notch1-Induced Survival Signaling And Its Implications In Cancer Therapeutics
(2009-04-15)
Notch receptors and ligands are type I transmembrane proteins that regulate
development and differentiation during cell-cell contact. There are four Notch receptor
homologues and five notch ligands, identified in humans ...
Metabolism Of Queuosine, A Modified Nucleoside, In Escherichia Coli And Caenorhabditis Elegans And Dual Function Of Bovine Mitochondrial Initiation Factor 2 As Initiation Factors 1 And 2 In Escherichia Coli
(2009-06-29)
The studies reported in this thesis address firstly, the biology of a modified nucleoside, Queuosine (Q) and secondly, the properties of mitochondrial translation initiation factor 2. A summary of the relevant literature ...
