Insights into Differentiation of Pluripotent Stem Cells to Cardiac Progenitors and Cardiomyocytes
The mammalian heart is the first organ formed during development. It forms the crux of the circulatory system of the body and pumps blood (and therefore, nutrients) to all parts of the body. The continuous functioning of ...
Dissecting the Role of Calcium Binding Proteins in Muscle using Drosophila Indirect Flight Muscles as the Model System
Muscle development and function are highly synchronized processes that involve simultaneous action of several transcription factors, signalling cascades, kinases and phosphatases, ion channels, structural proteins and ...
Investigating the Novel Roles of miR-9a and the Regulators of Mitochondrial Dynamics During the Development and Functioning of Indirect Flight Muscles in Drosophila melanogaster
The muscular system is a highly complex and important system in the body. Proper muscle physiology is critical for locomotion, digestion, circulation, reproduction as well as for metabolic and immune homeostasis. Defects ...
Investigations on the regulatory role of BglG on the expression of ridA and the pleiotropic effects of bglG deletion in E. coli
The bgl operon of E. coli encodes for the proteins involved in the uptake and catabolism of plant-derived aromatic beta-glucosides, normally associated with the soil environment. The silent state of the operon seen ...
Investigating the role of taxi gene in flight behavior of Drosophila melanogaster
Locomotion is essential for animals and it is regulated by crosstalk between neurons
and muscles. Although defects in the crosstalk between neurons and muscles are
implicated in many mobility related diseases in human, ...
Notch3 Receptor : Activation Mechanism and Association with Ovarian Cancer
The Notch signaling influences a wide spectrum of cell fate decisions, both during development and in the adult organisms. This pleiotropic role of Notch signaling in humans is attributed partially to the presence of four ...
Deciphering the genetic regulators of cuticle barrier function and longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans
Ever since Sydney Brenner introduced Caenorhabditis elegans in the early 60s as a
model system, this worm has contributed to many ground-breaking discoveries in
science. It has served as an excellent model to study animal ...
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 ...
Functional Characterization of CG9650 in development of the Indirect Flight Muscles of Drosophila melanogaster
Muscle development is a complex and multifactorial process involving assembly of thousands of proteins in a precise and synchronized manner over the course of development of an organism. Multiple genes and signalling ...
Embryonic Expression of Cytokines: Functional Role of Il-1β During Blastocyst Hatching
The detailed investigation on the embryo-endometrial cytokine expression, in both mouse and hamster, was carried out during the peri-hatching development and it is described in chapter
2. We hypothesize that, for a ...
