Understanding the Mechanism of DNA Double-Strand Break (DSB) Repair in Mitochondria and Various Mammalian Organs.
Various exogenous and endogenous agents can damage DNA. Exogenous agents include chemicals and radiation, such as ionizing radiations and UV rays, while endogenous agents include DNA replication errors, reactive oxygen ... -
Deciphering the role of miR-631 in the pathogenesis of oral squamous cell carcinoma
Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a malignant neoplasm originating from the epithelial cells of the oral cavity. The Asian population has the highest incidence of OSCC and despite advances in its treatment, the five-year ... -
Immunogen design to enhance Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 vaccine efficacy
Influenza and SARS-CoV-2 are pleomorphic viruses that cause respiratory diseases in humans and present significant public health threats. Vaccination has been essential in controlling the spread of these infections and ... -
Exploring and Targeting Dysregulated GPCRs in Glioblastoma: A Comprehensive Investigation
G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) represent the largest family of membrane receptors and are key regulators of cellular signaling. While extensively targeted in various diseases, their potential in oncology especially ... -
Heterogeneous host-pathogen interactions contribute to antibiotic tolerance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Eradication of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) requires strategies targeting bacteria inside the host. Mtb exhibits heterogeneity in redox metabolism inside macrophages to evade killing by anti-TB drugs. If and how ... -
Structural Insights of Inter-domain Interactions in Multi-domain Proteins
Embargo up to August 11, 2026. Proteins are essential biomolecules whose diverse functions stem from their modular architecture built from independently folding units called domains. This thesis investigates the nature and ... -
Structural and Mechanistic Studies of Gaba Transporter Isoform 1
The plasma membrane neurotransmitter transporter, GAT1, is responsible for the clearance of inhibitory neurotransmitter γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) from the synaptic cleft. Targeting GABA reuptake by inhibiting GAT1, hence ... -
Physiological significance of tRNA sequences and modifications in regulation of the bacterial growth
Transfer RNA or tRNA is one of the vital components of translation machinery where it acts as an adaptor molecule to bring amino acid to the ribosome in response to the genetic code in mRNA. Its key role is to decode the ... -
Deciphering the mechanism behind the division of the Salmonella containing vacuole (SCV) and the immunomodulation strategy employed by Salmonella Typhimurium
The genus Salmonella represents flagellated, Gram-negative, rod-shaped anaerobic bacteria which is a leading cause of food-borne illness and causes enteric disease in a wide range of animals. In humans and several warm-blooded ... -
Towards a molecular understanding of gastrointestinal disorders due to mutations in receptor Guanylyl Cyclase C
Towards a molecular understanding of gastrointestinal disorders due to mutations in receptor Guanylyl Cyclase C Receptor guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C) is a complex multidomain protein receptor characterised by its guanylyl ... -
Deciphering the function of sesaminol as an anti-obesity and anti-MAFLD molecule
Obesity and its associated metabolic diseases, including type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease (MAFLD), pose significant global health challenges. ... -
Modeling the CD8+ T cell response to solid tumors: A multi-scale immunoinformatics approach to prognosticating disease outcome
Robust CD8 T cell activity is crucial for anti-tumor immune response. CD8 T cells keep tumors in check using direct effector mechanisms that cause tumor death. The key to this activity is the recognition of tumor cells as ... -
Resource allocation patterns and strategies in the mutualism between figs and fig wasps
Mutualism involves exchange of services and rewards between the partners, resulting in a net benefit to all those involved. In many mutualisms, hosts are larger partners that interact with several individuals of smaller ... -
Eco-evolutionary consequences of bacterial predation
Predator-prey interactions pervade all ecosystems at all levels of biological organization. Ample research using higher eukaryotes has demonstrated the role of predator-prey interactions on the evolution of ecological and ... -
Deep Mutational Scanning Analyses of Protein Stability and Function
Full text Embargo up to Sep 2026 Protein stability is critical to understanding protein function, folding, and interactions within living organisms. It plays a key role in protein engineering, where designing stable ... -
Protein folding and Disulphide rich peptide(s) folds
Protein folding and protein folds are two sides of a coin. The study of protein folding processes is crucial for advancing our knowledge in fundamental cellular processes while the study of protein folds is important for ... -
Deciphering Hypoxic Adaptations in Cutibacterium acnes using Multi-omics Profiling and Systems Modelling
The opportunistic skin anaerobe Cutibacterium acnes (C. acnes) contributes to skin homeostasis with its antioxidant and immunomodulatory activities. C. acnes (formerly known as Propionibacterium acnes) is an aerotolerant, ... -
Structural and functional characterization of a bacterial TenpIN type III toxin-antitoxin system and its potential as an antibacterial strategy
Bacterial type III toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems were first identified as abortive infection systems wherein a phage infection causes altruistic suicide of the bacterium to prevent bacteriophage spread among its clonal ... -
Understanding Bacterial Heterogeneity in Gene Expression Under Specific and Global Regulatory Control
Intrinsic heterogeneity in natural bacterial populations enable them to escape sudden changes in environment and evolve. Processes like cellular crosstalk, abiotic interactors, host interactions, intracellular signalling ... -
Unravelling the spindle-independent function of cortical force-generating machinery (LIN-5/GPR-1/2) during cleavage furrow formation and abscission in C. elegans embryos
Cytokinesis marks the final stage of cell division, where a single mother cell divides into two daughter cells. This intricate process begins with the assembly of an actomyosin-based cleavage furrow at the equatorial ...
