RNA splicing is a ubiquitous process during eukaryotic gene expression, where non-coding introns are removed from primary transcripts to form functional mRNA. This vital process is carried out by the spliceosome, a large ...

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 ...

Viruses pose a major threat to human health and the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic proves as the best evidence for that. Historically, RNA viruses have a major potential to cause such pandemics. They utilise RNA binding ...

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 ...

Gliomas are tumors of the central nervous system arising from glial cells. Based on the origin of the cell type, it can be astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, and ependymoma. Astrocytoma is the most common type of glioma, ...

The mammalian immune system consists of the innate and adaptive arm/s that protect the host against pathogenic infections in a highly coordinated process involving multiple steps. Innate immune cells such as macrophages ...

One key to the pathogenic potential of the mycobacteria lies in their capacity to resist destruction by infected macrophages and dendritic cells. Robust host immune responses during mycobacterial infection often involve a ...

Growth polarity in leaves – a final discussion Insights into the growth processes of leaf lamina have come from studies on several species including Arabidopsis, Antirrhinum, tobacco and maize. A feature common to the ...

Rotaviruses, members of the family Reoviridae, are the major etiologic agents of severe, acute dehydrating diarrhea in the young of many mammalian species, including humans, calves and foals. Recent estimates indicate an ...
