Xenopus Laevis TGF-ß: Cloning And Characterization Of The Signaling Receptors
(Indian Institute of Science, 2006-07-21)
The amphibian species Xenopus laevis, along with mouse and chicken is a very important model system, used widely to dissect the molecular intricacies of various aspects of vertebrate development. Study with Xenopus has ...
Epigenetic Regulators Of Development In The Social Amoeba Dictyostellium Discoideum : The Roles Played By Histone Deacetylases And Heat Shock Protein 90
(2011-01-20)
The major evolutionary transition from single-celled to multicellular life is believed to have occurred independently of the main metazoan lineages in the cellular slime moulds, of which Dictyostelium discoideum is the ...
Characterization Of Human Mammary Stem Cells Grown As Mammospheres
(2011-01-11)
Adult stem cells are a small population present within several tissues of an individual, possessing two unique properties: one, the ability to differentiate to give rise to all the cell types of the tissue, and second, the ...
Aromatic Beta-Glucoside Utilization In Shigella Sonnei : Comparison With The Escherichia Coli Paradigm
(2010-12-01)
The aromatic beta-glucosides of plant origin, salicin and arbutin, serve as carbon sources for the sustenance of bacteria when ‘preferred’ sugars are absent in the environment. In the family Enterobacteriaceae, there are ...
MOLECULAR GENETIC ANALYSIS OF THE TUBEROUS SCLEROSIS COMPLEX
(Indian Institute of Science, 2005-02-21)
Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder that affects several organs in the human body including the brain, heart, kidneys, eyes, skin, spleen, liver and lungs [Roach, et al., 1999]. TSC is ...
Mechanistic insights into the role of miR‐6741‐3p in oral squamous cell carcinoma pathogenesis
Many functional studies and clinical analysis have linked miRNA dysregulation as a causative factor for tumor initiation and progression. Overexpression of oncogenic miRNAs and downregulation of tumor suppressor miRNAs are ...
Differential DNA methylation patterns in primary and recurrent glioblastomas : Protumorigenic roles of Tumor Endothelial Marker 8 (TEM8) and ASAP1 genes
Glioblastomas (GBMs) are clinically aggressive malignant brain tumors in adults with a median survival of 14 months on diagnosis. Therapeutic interventions such as debulking surgeries, chemotherapy, and ionizing radiation, ...
Glycobiological Regulation of Breast Cancer Invasion
Invasiveness of cancer is the predominant reason behind mortality associated with the disease. Although long under active investigation, fundamental aspects of the early steps of cancer invasion and metastasis are still ...
Ageing associated altered host response to bacterial infection
Chapters in which I have elucidated and elaborately described how senescence alters the cellular response to infection, here I demonstrate how senescence in multiple tissues simultaneously contribute to pathogen spread and ...
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 ...
