Molecular insights into AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-mediated regulation of anoikis resistance
Our study identifies negative cross-talk between AMPK and two important cellular kinases, Akt and Erk. AMPK-mediated inhibition of these two kinases promotes survival of cancer cells in the matrix-deprived condition. ... -
Neuroimmune Regulation in Caenorhabditis elegans: The Roles of the Amphid Sensory Neurons and Olfaction in Host Immune Responses
The ability of hosts to rapidly sense invading pathogens and mount an appropriate response is paramount for host survival. Pathogens, pervasive in the natural world, present a perpetual threat to host organisms. Examining ... -
Peritoneal colonization of ovarian cancer
The primary cause of mortality associated with cancer is metastasis, i.e., the spread of transformed cells from the site of oncogenesis to secondary loci within the body. Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is a debilitating ... -
Role of 3D-organization of the X-inactivation centre in imprinted X-chromosome inactivation
The connection between 3D-genome organization and genome regulation is one of the fundamental questions in modern biology. In a nucleus, the genome is organized through different layers of 3D-organization such as ... -
The role of neuronal integrity in maintaining gut functions and homeostasis
This thesis investigates two main aspects of neuronal integrity and gut health. Firstly, it examines the intricate relationship between neuronal integrity and the maintenance of gut homeostasis in Drosophila melanogaster. ... -
Roles of Drosophila Beadex and CG9650 in the development and functioning of the larval neuromuscular junctions
In eukaryotes, all voluntary and involuntary actions like, cognition, learning & memory, voluntary movements, feeding, etc., are coordinated by the employment of neuronal circuitry that transmits the signal from the ... -
Structural insight into unique features of the Translational apparatus in Plants
Plants are constantly challenged with a variety of biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Being sessile, plants cannot evade these conditions. Most of these sudden changes in environmental conditions require a quick change ... -
Studies on differentiation of mouse GS-2 ES-cells to pancreatic β-islet-like cells and their functional maturation status
Embryonic stem cells (ES-cells) are an excellent source for generating insulin-producing β-islet cells for potential use in the management of diabetes mellitus. Although many protocols have been developed to promote the ... -
A study of extracellular matrix dynamics in epithelial cancer progression with a special focus on ovarian cancer spheroidogenesis
Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is one of the most debilitating gynecological cancers in women worldwide due to its insidious symptoms. The predominant subtype of ovarian cancer: high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), ... -
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 ... -
Understanding cholesterol homeostasis and its impact on GPCR signalling in aging
Full text embargo One year up to July 2024 Aging is defined as the time-related deterioration of physiological functions necessary for survival of organisms. Despite significant progress in the extension of human lifespan ... -
Understanding the role of hydrogen sulfide in regulating redox homeostasis and inflammation during cellular senescence
Aging involves the time-dependent deterioration of physiological functions, which can be attributed to various factors. Cellular senescence has been shown to be akin to aging, which involves alteration in redox homeostasis ... -
Unravelling Crosstalk in Two-component Signalling Systems and Its Role in Mycobacterium Species
A typical two-component signaling system (TCSs) is composed of two transcriptionally coupled proteins (cognate pair) where one is a signal-sensing histidine kinase (HK) and the other, an output-generating response regulator ... -
Urolithin-A mitigates synaptic dysfunctions associated with epilepsy through VDAC1 inhibition: A novel therapeutic approach
Urolithin-A mitigates synaptic dysfunctions associated with epilepsy through VDAC1 inhibition: A novel therapeutic approach Epilepsies are a group of neurological disorders with a prevalence of 70 million people worldwide ...
