The Indian monsoon, which sees much variability, has been crucial to the country's economy. It affects 42% of employed individuals in the country — farmers and those working in the agricultural sector. At times, a 'normal' monsoon brings enough rain to keep everyone happy, but sometimes, there is either a deluge or a drought. With recent meteorological advances, these variations can be predicted and recorded. But, how do we go back hundreds of years in time to understand the historical variability in Indian monsoon? Corals in the Red Sea may have answers, says a study by American researchers.
In a recent study, researchers from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune, have shown that the release of calcium from the neurons in specific synapses promotes their reuse.
In a new study, the researchers from the Raman Research Institute (RRI), Bengaluru, in collaboration with researchers from France and Chile, provide us with an understanding of the physical forces that drive axonal beading and retraction. The findings could hold new insights on understanding neurodegeneration. The results of the study, funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), are published in the Biophysical Journal.
‘ಸಗಣಿ’ ಜೀರುಂಡೆಗಳು ಆಕರ್ಷಕ ಜೀವಿಗಳು. ಇವು ಪ್ರಾಣಿಗಳ ಸಗಣಿಗಳನ್ನು ಆಹಾರವಾಗಿ ಸೇವಿಸುತ್ತವೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅದರಿಂದ ಅವುಗಳ ಎಲ್ಲಾ ಪೋಷಕಾಂಶಗಳನ್ನು ಪಡೆಯುತ್ತವೆ. ಈ ಸಣ್ಣ ಜೀರುಂಡೆಗಳು, ಸಗಣಿಯನ್ನು ತಿನ್ನುವ ಮೂಲಕ ಮಣ್ಣಿನ ರಚನೆ ಮತ್ತು ಮಣ್ಣಿನ ಫಲವತ್ತತೆಯನ್ನು ಸುಧಾರಿಸುತ್ತವೆ.
In India, one woman dies of cervical cancer every 8 minutes, and for every two women newly diagnosed with breast cancer, one succumbs to it. In 2018, all over the country, 7,84,821 people lost their lives to cancer. Numerous scientific research is underway to discover new and improved drugs for cancer. Chemotherapy, where anti-cancer drugs are administered to kill cancerous cells, is one of the traditional and most successful treatment methods. In a recent study, Dr Sumit Ghosh, from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, discusses cisplatin, the first-ever metal-based drug used in chemotherapy.

In a recent study, scientists from the Zoological Survey of India, Kolkata, have found a new species of earth-boring dung beetle in the Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh during one of their field expeditions. Named after the district it was discovered in, Enoplotrupes tawangensis belongs to the family Geotrupidae.
