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 ...

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 ...

Cerebral ischemia is a highly debilitating condition where shortage of oxygen and glucose leads to profuse cell death. Insufficient blood supply to the brain leads to cerebral ischemia and increase in extracellular lactate ...

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 ...

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 ...

Proteins are large biomolecules consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues. They perform a vast array of functions within living organisms. In this thesis, we present analyses of different secondary ...

Influenza virus belongs to the Orthomyxovirus family of viruses that causes respiratory infection in humans, leading to morbidity and mortality. The mature influenza A virion has an envelope that contains two major surface ...
