Metallophosphoesterases In Mycobacteria Enigmatic Roles In Regulating Mycobacterial Physiology
(2014-04-29)
Pathogenic bacteria such as M.tuberculosis have evolved several mechanisms to aid their intracellular survival and subvert host defenses. One of the contributing factors is thought to be the production and secretion 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 ...
Molecular Analysis Of Hamster Sperm Capacitation: Significance Of Protein Tyrosine Phosphorylation
(2007-12-17)
Fertilization is a process that generates the first cell of a new organism. In mammals,
fertilization occurs in the female reproductive tract. The male gametes (spermatozoa) are rendered fertilization-competent only after ...
Unravelling The Mechanisms Of Myofibrillogenesis And Human Myopathies Using Drosophila Mutants
(2013-07-18)
Myofibrillogenesis is a complex process, which involves assembly of hundreds of structural proteins in a highly ordered manner to form the contractile structural unit of muscle, the sarcomere. Several myopathic conditions ...
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 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 ...
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, ...
Moonlighting Functions of the Rv0805 Phosphodiesterase from Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
(2018-04-18)
All organisms must sense and respond to their environment in order to survive. The processes that allow a living cell to sense changes in its environment, and respond appropriately are collectively referred to as ‘signal ...
Biochemical and Functional Studies on the Evolutionarily Conserved MPPED1/MPPED2 Protein Family
(2018-05-16)
A large number of evolutionarily conserved genes have been identified by comparative genomics approaches. However, a considerable fraction of these genes lack functional characterization despite the availability of several ...
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 ...
