Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a primary source of food for billions of people throughout the world, yet it contains insufficient levels of the key micronutrients iron, zinc and vitamin A to meet the daily dietary requirements. Biofortification of staple food crops has thus been considered a sustainable strategy to overcome the problem of […]
Abstract Aegle marmelos (Bael plant) is one of the most common ayurvedic plant traditionally used in medicine for the treatment of infectious diseases. The present study was emphasized on the antibacterial activity of the Agale marmeols leaves extract on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeuroginosa, Salmonella typhimurium, and Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus […]
Abstract Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus is the a genus belonging to beta corona Virus, currently well known for its out break in the countries like Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Jordan, Qatar, Egypt, the UAE etc causing severe illness. MERS CoV is a dreadful RNA virus infecting huge population especially from Saudi Arabia. There is not […]
Abstract RAS subfamily belongs to a class of proteins called small GTPase, which are a group of hydrolase enzymes that can bind (‘on state’) and hydrolyze (‘off state’) guanosine triphosphate (GTP). Hence, RAS proteins act as binary molecular switches and play a consequential role in intracellular signal transduction which regulates processes such as actin cytoskeletal […]
Abstract Haplotype is a lineable combination of alleles at multiple loci that are transmitted together. The importance and application of these haplotypes has been gradually increased in forensic sciences. After Y STR’s on Chromosome Y and Mitochondrial DNA now the current focus is on haplotype study involving X STR’s on Chromosome X. Fathers transmit their […]
Abstract The world of life science research has changed dramatically over the past decade. Researchers now rely on miniaturized systems with tiny cards or chips that contain virtual laboratories on a microscopic scale. Results are achieved in minimum time using smaller amounts of reagents. The use of life processes and materials was perfected in millions […]
Abstract Neuregulin-1 (NRG-1) is a gene that helps regulate synaptic plasticity and mutations in NRG-1 have been found in patients with schizophrenia. Researchers have found that the prefrontal cortex expresses much higher levels of NRG-1 in humans with schizophrenia. Researchers have found that the mice grown with over expression of NRG-1 had schizophrenia like symptoms […]
Abstract Glycation is the non-enzymatic addition or insertion of sugar molecules into DNA, proteins and lipids that occur in biological molecules. The glycation of DNA gives rise to characteristic nucleotide adducts, some of which have been found to increase in oxidative stress. The glycation causes damage to DNA which is associated with mutagenesis, carcinogenesis and […]
Abstract Diabetes, growing global health burden is a Multifactorial, heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by deficiency or failure in maintaining normal glucose homeostasis. The prevalence of Diabetes is rising across the globe at an alarming rate with India and china facing the greatest challenges with worsening trend affecting younger age groups. Diabetes and its complications […]
Abstract Micro propagation has the potential to provide very high multiplication rates of selected true genotypes. It allows rapid production of high quality, disease free and uniform planting materials irrespective of weather or season. The paper highlights studies on the same, outlines potential of using single to multiple co-cultures combinations of microbe that were in […]
