IISc researchers found that certain regions of the genome rich in four-stranded DNA — G-quadruplexes (G4-DNA) — are more resistant to radiation damage. As a result, there are fewer DNA breaks…
Using machine learning of 17 genomic signatures, researchers from IIIT Delhi and CSIR-IMTECH have developed a webserver called CancerSPP that will help clinicians in classifying cutaneous melanoma as either primary…
Of the over 6,400 samples collected from 1,100 towns/cities in India, 93% were found to be safe. But 5.7% had aflatoxin M1 residues beyond the permissible limit. The highest levels…
A highly sensitive carbon nanotube-based sensor capable of detecting multidrug-resistant myeloid leukemia cells even when present at very low concentration of 10 cells per ml has been fabricated by Delhi-based…
The final price of cigarettes increases by only 0.18%. In the case of bidi and smokeless tobacco, the final price hike is 8.8% (about Rs. 1.30 per pack of 25…
JNCASR researchers have unravelled the molecular mechanism by which autophagy pathway gets enhanced leading to human cells becoming resistant to radiation. When PC4 protein is absent or downregulated, autophagy gets…
Twenty-five quinoline derivatives synthesised by IICB researchers and tested in the lab by IACS team show potent anticancer activity. The mode of action is the same for current drugs and…
Researchers at the National Institute of Biomedical Genomics, Kalyani, and ACTREC, Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai have identified five biomarkers for lymph node metastasis in oral cancer. Two of the biomarkers are…
