Spatio-Temporal Control Of Drosophila Indirect Flight Muscle Development And Maintenance By The Transcription Factor Erect Wing
(2016-04-27)Muscle development involves concerted action of a repertoire of mechanisms governing myoblast proliferation, migration, fusion and differentiation. Subsequently, there are cellular events administrating proper muscle ... -
Spatio-temporal Regulation of GPCR mediated MAPK Transactivation in Living Cells
Signal transduction is a mode of cellular communication essential for an organism’s sustenance and survival. Cell communication in higher organisms is largely executed by two classes of cell surface receptors i.e. G-protein ... -
Spermatogenomics : Correlating Testicular Gene Expression to Human Male Infertility
(2018-06-13)Spermatogenesis is a complex and coordinated process of formation of sperms from the precursor spermatogonia, occurring inside the unique environment existing in the seminiferous epithelium. This process of development, ... -
Stress Signaling In Development And Carcinogenesis : Role Of AMP-Activated Protein Kinase
(2013-08-05)Rapidly growing tumor cells outgrow their blood supply resulting in a microenvironment with reduced oxygen and nutrients. Using an in vitro transformation model we found that cancer cells expressing the SV40 ST antigen ... -
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 ... -
Studies On Embryonic Stem Cells From Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein Transgenic Mice : Induction Of Cardiomyocyte Differentiation
(2013-07-17)Genesis of life begins with the fusion of female and male haploid gametes through a process of fertilization leading to the formation of a diploid cell, the zygote. This undergoes successive cleavage divisions forming 2-, ... -
Studies On Growth And Development Of The Ovarian Dominant Follicle In Monovulatory Species : Analysis Of Transcriptional Changes And Factors Influencing Periovulatory Events
(2010-10-28)In response to LH surge, the selected dominant follicle undergoes a series of complex events viz., meiotic maturation of the oocyte, terminal differentiation of follicular cells, cumulus expansion and follicular rupture ... -
Studies On Intracrine Regulators Of Ovarian Function : Examination Of Progesterone Action On Structure And Function Of Corpus Luteum In The Monkey
(2011-08-09)The control of reproductive cycles in higher primates is largely dependent on negative and positive feedback mechanisms by both steroidal and non-steroidal substances of the ovaries which regulate the function of ... -
Studies On Molecular Analysis Of Capacitation Associated Protein Tyrosine Phosphorylation In Hamster Spermatozoa
(2014-04-07)In mammals, freshly ejaculated spermatozoa do not possess the ability to fertilize a mature oocyte. They acquire fertilization competence upon residing for a period of time in the female reproductive tract. The physiological ... -
Studies on Regulation of Rat Corpus Luteum Function by Prolactin And Luteinizing Hormone
(2018-07-25)The corpus luteum (CL) is a transient endocrine structure formed from the remnants of an ovulated follicle with the primary purpose of producing progesterone (P4), a hormone vital for the establishment and maintenance of ... -
Studies on the Evolution of Aromatic Beta-Glucoside Catabolic Systems under Different Stress Conditions in Escherichia coli
(2017-11-22)The genetic systems involved in the utilisation of aromatic β-glucosides in E. coli consist of the bgl, asc, and chb operons and the locus bglA encoding phospho-β-glucosidase A. The bgl and asc operons are known as cryptic ... -
Studies On The Expression Of The bgl Operon Of Escherichia Coli In Stationary Phase
(2010-03-19)The bgl operon of Escherichia coli, involved in the uptake and utilization of aromatic β-glucosides salicin and arbutin, is maintained in a silent state in the wild type organism by the presence of structural elements in ... -
Studies On The Phenomenon Of Blastocyst Hatching: Role Of Cysteine Proteases
(2007-11-16)The mammalian embryo is encased in a glycoproteinaceous covering, the zona pellucida (ZP/zona) during preimplantation development. Prior to implantation into the recipient maternal endometrium, the blastocyst has to hatch ... -
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), ... -
A Study Of The Roles Played By The Trishanku Gene In The Morphogenesis Of Dictyostelium Discoideum
(2011-02-22)A hallmark feature of Dictyostelium development is the establishment and maintenance of precise cell-type proportions. In the case of D. discoideum, roughly 20% of the cells that aggregate form the stalk while the remaining ... -
Systemic Profiling of Two Component Signaling Networks in Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2018-05-23)Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative organism of the disease tuberculosis (TB) in humans, leads to nearly two million deaths each year. This versatile pathogen can exist in highly distinct physiological states such ... -
Targeting Gonadotropins to the Dendritic Cells : A Novel Strategy for Animal Immunocontraceptive Vaccine
(2018-05-09)Contraception through a vaccine has been a very attractive proposition and several attempts were made in the past. To achieve contraception through immunological means, several points need to be considered. First, the ... -
Transcriptional and Posttranscriptional Regulation of the Tumor Suppressor CDC73 in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma : Implications for Cancer Therapeutics
(2018-04-16)CDC73, also known as HRPT2, is a tumour suppressor gene whose expression is lost or downregulated in parathyroid, renal, breast, uterine and gastric cancers. However, the reports regarding the role of CDC73 in oral squamous ... -
