Researchers found that urban female sparrows invest more time and energy into parental care than their rural counterparts, yet have significantly lower reproductive success.
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 recent study from the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has shed light on how this glucose traffic management goes wrong in Type 2 Diabetes (T2D), offering exciting new possibilities for treatment.
The study sheds light on a crucial protein, PfPPM2, which controls asexual division and switching between the sexual forms in Malaria-causing Plasmodium falciparum parasite, both of which are key to disease transmission.
A new study analyses some of the most widely used databases and applications or algorithms available for protein mutations and predicting disease-causing mutations among them.
Groundbreaking study casts doubt on long-standing hypothesis on an important biological process.
Researchers solve the packing matrix of proteins that control protein complexes on cell surfaces.
Researchers from the St. John’s Research Institute, Bengaluru, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru in collaboration with the Scottish Universities Environmental Research Center, UK, try to answer how much of the proteins that we eat is actually digested and absorbed by the body.
Chikungunya fever is a major public health issue that infects many during the monsoon season. The most recent outbreak in India was in 2016, and in the last three years, the number of chikungunya cases in India has increased by a whopping 390 per cent. Caused by a mosquito-borne virus, there are no vaccines or specific treatments for this disease at the moment.
In a new study, researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, have designed a biosensor using gold nanoparticles that can identify the presence of a protein called alpha-synuclein. The newly developed biosensor uses optical fibres to identify these proteins even in very low concentrations and can do so in just 15 minutes of time.
Alzheimer's affects a large section of our aged population. Scientists from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, shed some light on how the disease can be identified in its early stages.
