The subiculum is a structure that forms a bridge between the hippocampus and the entorhinal cortex (EC) in the brain, and plays a major role in the memory consolidation process. It consists of different types of pyramidal ...

Structural investigations on two mycobacterial enzymes were carried out. Tuberculosis still remains a major threat to mankind even though drugs against it have been in use for many decades. The emergence of drug resistant ...

Evaluating aerodynamic noise from aircraft engines is a design stage process, so that it conform to regulations at airports. Aerodynamic noise is also a principal source of structural vibration and internal noise in ...

Local field potentials (LFPs), extracellular potentials that reflect localized electrical activity, have long been used as a window to understand the behavioural dependence and mechanistic aspects of brain physiology. A ...

Occasionally, crystallisation of proteins works in mysterious ways! One might obtain crystals of a protein of unknown identity in place of the protein for which crystallisation experiments were performed. If the investigator ...

Structuraj investigations on the Ddi1 (DNA-damage inducible protein 1) of Leishmania major and on the rotavirus nonstructural protein NSP4 were carried out. Ddi1 belongs to the ubiquitin receptor family of proteins. One ...

GABA is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It binds to two types of receptors –ionotropic GABAA and metabotropic GABAB. The GABAA receptor directly gates a Clionophore that causes ...

A distinctive feature of host-pathogen interactions in the case of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is the asymptomatic latent phase of infection. The ability of the bacillus to survive for extended periods of time in the host ...

Cellular response to environmental changes involves a wide repertoire of complex signalling systems often resulting in up and down regulation of various genes. These mechanisms are generally conserved in a variety of ...
