Understanding the redox homeostatic mechanisms in Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is an obligate intra-cellular pathogen that causes the disease tuberculosis (TB) in its human hosts. An estimated 1% of the world population is reported to get infected with the disease ...
Identification and Characterisation of a miRNA releasing activity from Caenorhabditis elegans
MicroRNAs (miRNA) are endogenous, small non coding RNAs, which play a prominent role in eukaryotic gene regulation. Perturbations leading to an altered abundance of miRNAs can lead to pathological conditions like neurological ...
Immunological insights into Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Signaling: Implications for host-pathogen interactions
Infectious diseases account for a large proportion of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The major global efforts lie in effectively enhancing the health span of infected individuals and more importantly, curbing infection ...
Molecular Genetic Analysis of Trichome Development in Arabidopsis thaliana
Several mutants with aberrant trichome patterning and differentiation are known in Arabidopsis. The genes involved in these processes code for proteins with diverse functions such as transcription, protein degradation, ...
Division of the Salmonella Containing Vacuole and Other Virulence Strategies Employed by Salmonella
Salmonella comprises a genus of rod-shaped, Gram-negative, non-sporulating and primarily motile enterobacteria. They have remained a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, claiming several hundreds of lives per ...
Insights into the Regulation of Transcription Initiation of DNA Gyrase and Role of Transcription Factor Gre from Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Genus Mycobacterium comprises a large number of species including many pathogens such as Mycobacterium leprae, Mycobacterium abscessus and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the last one is the causative agent of the fatal ...
Response of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to Hypoxia and its physiological Significance - A Morphological and Molecular Level Study
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has evolved as an important clinical pathogen due to its ability to gain multidrug resistance, to enter into latency to persist there and to get reactivated from the latent infection in ...
An integrative analysis of Cell Adhesion Molecules (CAMs) in Glioma: The Essential role of PTGFRN and ASTN1 in Glioma and Glioma Stem-like Cells
The central nervous system tissue contains neural stem cells which differentiate and give rise to the neurons and glial cells. The glial cells maintain neurons by providing nutrients, physical support and protection. Unlike ...
Proteomics-based Identification of Serum Biomarkers : Role of Secreted MCSF and CRP in Glioma Pathogenesis
Gliomas are the neoplasia of glial cells present in the brain and comprises of
more than 70% of all the neoplasms of the central nervous system. They consist of
a family of primary brain tumors that are categorized based ...
Identifying key determinants underlying variable efficacy of BCG substrains against Pulmonary TB.
Protection conferred by BCG vaccine against adult pulmonary TB ranges from 0–80% based on large, well-controlled field trials. This variability is highly significant (P < 0.0001) and is regarded as being indicative of true ...
