Regulation of Hepatitis C Virus life-cycle by lncRNA HULC: crosstalk with other host factors
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a positive sense single-stranded RNA virus. It belongs to the family Flaviviridae and the genus hepacivirus. Following the receptor-mediated endocytosis, HCV genome is released into the cytoplasm, ...
Biochemical and functional characterisation of cyclic AMP-binding, universal stress proteins from mycobacteria
The genus Mycobacterium harbours several pathogenic species, including M. tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, which alone is responsible for nearly 1.3 million deaths globally every year. Understanding the ...
Biochemical, Genetic and Molecular characterization of TCP3 and TCP4 transcription factors in Arabidopsis thaliana
The TEOSINTE BRANCHED1, CYCLOIDEA, PROLIFERATING CELL FACTORs (TCP) family of proteins consists of plant-specific, non-canonical basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors that perform diverse developmental processes. ...
Aβ42-mediated dendritic spine loss in an in-vitro model of Alzheimer’s disease
The results from this study establish the molecular mechanism underlying the Aβ42-mediated dendritic spine loss observed in the APP/PS1 mouse model of AD. Further, this study highlights the role of Aβ42 in altering the ...
Estimation of the spatial spread of brain signals at multiple scales
Spatial spread of a particular brain signal can be defined as the area of the cortical tissue around
the recording electrode that contributes to the electrical activity recorded by the electrode. More
specifically, ...
Manipulating Bacterial and Host Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)- based mechanisms to potentiate killing of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is evolutionarily equipped to resist exogenous reactive oxygen species but shows vulnerability to an increase in endogenous ROS (eROS). Since eROS is an unavoidable consequence of aerobic ...
Understanding the Mechanism of Noncanonical Functions of RAGs in Lymphoid Cancer and Glioblastoma
Recombination activating genes (RAGs) composed of RAG1 and RAG2, are the endonuclease involved in V(D)J recombination, which is critical for adaptive immunity in mammals. Activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), expressed ...
Ground-dwelling arthropods across human land use: Interpreting the spatial and temporal dimensions of beta diversity
This study investigates beta diversity and its partitions to quantify the influence of different processes that drive spatial and temporal variation in ground-dwelling arthropod assemblages. First, ant assemblages across ...
Understanding the role of hydrogen sulfide in regulating redox homeostasis and inflammation during cellular senescence
Aging involves the time-dependent deterioration of physiological functions, which can be attributed to various factors. Cellular senescence has been shown to be akin to aging, which involves alteration in redox homeostasis ...
Role of Hydrogen Sulfide Gas in Modulating HIV-1 Latency and Reactivation
Human Immunodeficiency Virus 1 (HIV-1) remains a global public health threat, claiming 690 thousand people’s lives in 2020 and causing 1.5 million new infections. The advent of combinatorial antiretroviral therapy (ART) ...
