A new review reveals that rising global temperatures, increased pollution, and extreme weather events are driving a global surge in eye diseases, disproportionately affecting vulnerable communities and challenging healthcare systems.
The study found that the protein Tropomodulin-1 (TMOD1) and the FGFR-ERK signalling pathway are the essential molecular machinery that physically separates a mature Hydra bud from its parent.
A new study of sediment layers at Bandhavgarh National Park reveals how climate fluctuations over millennia influenced human settlements and architectural marvels.
A tiny, uniquely shaped diatom, Climaconeis heteropolaris, has been discovered in the estuaries of Udupi, Karnataka in India's southwestern coast, offering new insights into marine biodiversity.
Global classrooms show how understanding the past can inspire future action for water.
Researchers from Agharkar Research Institute, Pune, Savitribai Phule Pune University, MES College of Arts, Commerce and Science, Bengaluru and the Centre for medicinal Plants Research, Kerala have described a new species of pipewort from the Western Ghats. They have named the new species Eriocaulon karaavalense, after the Kannada work karaavali (ಕರಾವಳಿ), which translates to ‘the coast’.
The human body is made up of a complex network of cells and tissues specialized to carry out specific tasks. Studying each type of cell individually gives researchers insights into treating diseases and disorders. The cells of a human heart have very poor regenerative capability, while those of zebrafish are known to regenerate well. Scientists from the Agharkar Research Institute, Pune in their recent study explore the mechanism behind how zerbafish hearts regenerate.
